Unclaimed — this is our research, not their listing. Clay has not submitted anything to us, has not seen or approved this page, and is not a partner of ours. There is no vendor description here, and we have not written one on their behalf. Everything below comes from our own dossier — the same one behind
the Honest Software Atlas. Reader reviews are moderated for spam only; critical ones get published too.

Researched by AIBM, not supplied by the vendor. The vendor has not been involved in this page at all.
Our pricing check · 2026From ~$185/mo (Launch, 2,500 credits) to ~$495/mo (Growth); a dual-currency credit system where each lookup costs credits (~$0.15–1+/lead), so waterfall enrichment can burn budget fast (2026).
What will cost you money if you skim itTwo honest catches: a steep learning curve (expect 2–4 weeks, many teams need a dedicated Clay expert), and credits that are hard to forecast at scale.

Genuinely good for
modern GTM and ops teams who want best-in-class waterfall enrichment and custom research workflows — and have someone to own it
Skip it if
you want to sign up and prospect on day one, or you can't dedicate time to learn it — the curve and credit spend frustrate casual users

Source: our own researched dossier on Clay, the same one behind the Honest Software Atlas and our reviews. Flags are derived from that text and each one carries the sentence it came from, so you can judge it yourself. Prices move — always check the vendor’s live pricing page before you buy.
Work at Clay? This page is yours the moment you claim it.Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.
