Why people look past Ocean.io

There is no public paid rate card. Paid plans are a sales conversation after you start free.

What we noted

No public paid prices
Needs won-deal history to shine
Not a cold-email sender

Not the right fit for

Buyers who need a printed monthly credit pack
Teams with no won-deal history to seed a search

Worth keeping in mind: It learns your ICP from won deals, then ranks every company in the market against that segment.

What each one does differently

ZoomInfo

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Intent plus contacts if you want a classic B2B database instead of lookalike ranking.

Stands out: The buying-committee graph and intent data, not just email lookup.

Watch out: Recruiter-only desks should price Wiza, ContactOut or Tomba first. This is an enterprise contract.

Best for

Talent teams where sales already pays for ZoomInfo
Desks that need reports-to lines and org charts
Account-based recruiting with intent data

4.1 on Capterra from 322 reviews

6sense

Sales-quoted Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: ABM intent if buying-stage scores matter more than closed-won twins.

Stands out: Predictive account scores plus a Sales Copilot that recommends actions, summarizes accounts and drafts messages.

Watch out: No public price. Emails, phones and exports need separate data credits, and predictive AI is a separate package.

Best for

Enterprise sales teams prioritizing accounts with predictive scores
GTM orgs that want intent, technographics and visitor ID together
RevOps connecting 6sense to CRM and sales engagement tools

Clay

$185/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Table-native enrichment if you already live in Clay and just need more columns.

Stands out: 150+ provider waterfall plus Claygent on every row, with MCP and API.

Watch out: Not a sender. Paid plans start at $185/mo on Launch, CRM sync needs Growth from $495/mo, and credit burn adds up.

Best for

Sourcers building enriched spreadsheets
Teams chaining many data vendors
Desks that want Claygent research columns

Read the Clay write-up Ocean.io vs Clay

Apollo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Data plus sequences if you want to find and email from one login.

Stands out: A large people database plus email sequences in one login, with MCP and a Chrome extension.

Watch out: Data quality varies by segment, and it does not match enterprise tools for intent data and org charts.

Best for

Outbound recruiting and sales on one database
Teams that want free-tier access to start
Desks that need sequences next to the data
