Ocean is contextual intelligence for go-to-market.

The ranked accounts arrive in your CRM, your rep queue or your AI agents.

| Topic | Ocean | Valasys AI |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the right accounts | ||
| Lookalikes | Ocean is stronger here. Core of the product. Segments and models learned from your won and lost CRM deals. | Upload your top customer domains, and VAIS scores them and surfaces other companies with the same alignment profile. One credit per generation. |
| Learns your ICP from won and lost deals | Ocean is stronger here. Learned automatically from your won and lost deals. | The score combines product-market fit, demand, intent and firmographics, and you can seed lookalikes with customer domains. It doesn’t describe learning from your CRM’s won and lost deals. |
| The reason behind each account | Ocean is stronger here. Segment, score, tier and matched signals on every account and every export. | Each account gets a score, an alignment label such as Elite Fit, a funnel stage and a suggested action. The docs don’t describe a written reason for the match. |
| Segments your market | Ocean is stronger here. Segments your whole market and shows win rate, deal size and cycle time for each segment. | Smart segments group leads by behavior, fit and stage. |
| Contacts and data | ||
| Contacts | Verified emails and direct phones from a waterfall across 16+ data sources. Charged only when a contact is found, and exports are free. | Find Prospect returns decision-makers by function, seniority and location with verified email and phone where available, plus direct dials it says cover 50+ countries. |
| Buying signals | Up-to-date signals built in-house from each company’s own teams, leaders, hiring and website. | Bombora Company Surge on up to 12 topics, across 4M+ domains, layered on every score. |
| Managed lead delivery | Software you run yourself, on credits and no seats. | Account managers run campaigns and deliver MQL, HQL, BANT, content-syndication and webinar leads, with replacement leads within 48 hours. |
| Workflow and pricing | ||
| CRM sync | Two-way with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Attio. Reads your deals to learn, then writes scores, segments and signals back. | A Salesforce integration pushes VAIS scores into the CRM. Other CRMs aren’t listed in what we found. |
| AI agents and MCP | MCP server, public API and a chat agent on the same data and lookalike engine. | API signals are listed on the Enterprise plan. We found no public API docs or MCP server. |
| Security and company scale | SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, per Ocean’s own site. | Its homepage lists GDPR, CCPA, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. A competitor’s review says it found no third-party certification, and we couldn’t open the reports. Ask to see them. |
| Pricing | Two ways to buy: a flat-rate plan with credits included, or a custom plan built around your deals and credit volume. | A free plan with 3 intent topics and no card, and a custom Enterprise plan. Managed programs are quoted per campaign. Rates aren’t published. |

Connect HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or Attio. Ocean reads your closed-won and closed-lost deals to learn what a good account looks like.
Ocean proposes segments and scores, with the reason on each. Correct anything that doesn’t match how you sell.
Scores, segments and matched signals go back to your CRM, or into Apollo, Instantly or Lemlist sequences.
Expect rules, filters and signals you set, because a model of your own deals is not what it leads with; ask for a test on your accounts.
Expect a score or a label with little behind it, because explanations are the hard part; ask about one real account.
Expect a trust-center link or a request form, because reports sit behind a sales step; ask for the date and scope.
Expect annual terms that renew on their own, because that is how it is sold; get notice dates, price caps and export rights in writing.
Ocean is better because it tells it like it is: contextual intelligence to find your next deal, with the reason on every account.

It rates how well a company aligns with your product on a 55 to 95 scale, from product-market fit, demand signals, Bombora intent and firmographics. Each account gets an alignment label and a suggested action. Ocean learns the fit from your own won and lost deals and shows the reason on each account.
Valasys doesn’t publish rates. There’s a free plan with no card and 3 intent topics, and a custom Enterprise plan with 12 topics and a dedicated CSM. Managed programs are quoted per campaign. A directory lists a low entry price that Valasys doesn’t confirm.
It doesn’t describe doing so. You can seed lookalikes with customer domains, but the score itself comes from product, demand, intent and firmographic signals. Ocean reads your CRM deals, learns the ICP and ranks the market against it.
API signals are listed on its Enterprise plan. We found no public API documentation or MCP server. Ocean has an MCP server and a public API on the same data and lookalike engine.
