The short version

  • Only Dock has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Default pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.; 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: Default covers Inbound routing, 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.

Default

  • Pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
  • Seats are split into user seats and routing seats at different prices, which makes headcount planning awkward and means an organisation can be surprised by which roles turn out to need the expensive kind.
  • Enrichment is credit metered, so cost rises with inbound volume exactly when the business is doing well, and a spike in form fills is also a spike in the bill.
  • Consolidating routing, enrichment, scoring and scheduling into one vendor puts a single point of failure between a demo request and a sales representative, which is the highest value path in the business.
  • The vendor offers budget to buy out incumbent contracts, which is effective marketing but tells you switching costs in this category are high in both directions, including out of Default later.

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

Default: What does Default replace?

Typically a scheduler, a lead routing tool, an enrichment provider and part of a workflow automation layer.

Dock: Do buyers and clients need a licence?

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

Default: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted, and reported structures involve a monthly platform fee plus separate user and routing seats plus metered enrichment credits.

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.

Default: Does it replace the CRM?

No. It sits in front of the CRM, routing and enriching records and keeping them clean, and it writes to Salesforce or HubSpot.

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.

Default: Is it worth it for a small team?

Rarely. The platform fee before seats means the economics work when you are retiring several existing subscriptions.

Dock: Is pricing per seat?

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