🔎 Unclaimed — this is our research, not their listing. Clay has not submitted anything to us, has not seen or approved this page, and has not claimed this listing. 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.

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.

Cost-trap flags — each with its evidence

📅 Annual commit — Best price (or any price) requires an annual/quarterly commitment
“Launch is advertised at $167/mo but starts at $54/mo on annual billing or $60 monthly, and Growth at $446/mo but starts at $185/mo annually or $205 m…”
🆓 Free tier — A genuinely free plan or version exists
“The free plan is real: 6,000 actions and 1,200 data credits a year, unlimited seats and tables, multi-provider waterfalls and Claygent, capped at 200…”

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

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.

We have pre-filled the name, site and category we already have on file, so the only thing left to write is the description. A claimed page also drops the noindex we keep on research-only pages.
