The short version

  • Only Dock has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Common Room the entry plan is 2,500 US dollars a month billed annually, a floor of 30,000 a year, which excludes exactly the early-stage community-led companies whose signal is strongest.; Dock the free plan excludes Salesforce and HubSpot integration, which is the capability that turns Dock from a nicer file share into a sales tool, so the free tier does not let you evaluate the thing you would actually buy.
  • They diverge on capability: Common Room covers Person360 identity resolution, Dock covers Digital sales rooms.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Common Room

  • The entry plan is 2,500 US dollars a month billed annually, a floor of 30,000 a year, which excludes exactly the early-stage community-led companies whose signal is strongest.
  • RoomieAI and Prospector run on credit allocations rather than unlimited use, so heavy research months exhaust the budget and the workflow stops until the next cycle or an upgrade.
  • Contact ceilings of 100,000 on Essential are consumed quickly by any sizeable public community, and the overage conversation is an upgrade to a quoted tier rather than an incremental charge.
  • Identity resolution is probabilistic, so wrong merges happen, and a seller who contacts the wrong person with context from someone else does more damage than no alert at all.
  • Signal volume overwhelms teams without a defined qualification rule; most implementations that fail do so because everything became an alert and sellers stopped reading them within a month.

Dock

  • The free plan excludes Salesforce and HubSpot integration, which is the capability that turns Dock from a nicer file share into a sales tool, so the free tier does not let you evaluate the thing you would actually buy.
  • Branding and layout customisation is the most common complaint from users; teams with strict design standards find workspaces they cannot make match the rest of their buyer-facing material.
  • Workspaces render poorly on mobile, which matters because executive stakeholders in a buying committee frequently open a shared link on a phone first and form their impression there.
  • Premium requires annual billing at 1,000 US dollars a month, so the step from Standard is a twelve-thousand dollar commitment rather than an incremental monthly upgrade, and it is triggered by asset limits as often as by seat count.
  • The HubSpot integration is reported as noticeably weaker than the Salesforce one, so HubSpot-based teams get less of the CRM automation that justifies the paid tiers.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Common Room: What does the entry plan actually cost?

2,500 US dollars per month billed annually, for 5 seats and 100,000 contacts. Higher tiers are quoted.

Dock: Do buyers and clients need a licence?

No. External collaborators are free on every plan, including Free.

Common Room: Is this only for developer tools companies?

It is strongest where there is a public community to observe. Companies with no community signal get a narrower version of the product and should compare it against ordinary intent data vendors.

Dock: Is Dock useful without a CRM integration?

Much less so, and the free plan has none. Budget for Standard if you want activity flowing back to Salesforce or HubSpot.

Common Room: Does it replace ZoomInfo?

No. It is signal and identity resolution rather than a contact database, though Prospector covers some contact discovery within accounts.

Dock: Can it handle post-sale onboarding as well as deals?

Yes, that is one of its stronger arguments: the same workspace carries from deal to implementation without rebuilding it.

Common Room: How are AI features metered?

By credits per tier, from 5,000 RoomieAI credits on Essential up to 10,000 on Enterprise, with Prospector credits counted separately.

Dock: Is pricing per seat?

Partly. Plans bundle a user count and additional seats are 50 US dollars a month each on top.
