Starting at Contact for pricing
Clay's waterfall system queries up to 10+ of its 150+ data sources sequentially for each prospect, starting with the most reliable and cost-effective providers. If the first source lacks a contact or returns low-quality data, it automatically tries the next provider in the chain, continuing until a match is found or all sources are exhausted. This approach materially improves coverage compared to relying on a single vendor.
Clay operates on a credit-based system where different data sources consume different credit amounts per lookup. Basic enrichment providers (e.g., Clearbit, Hunter) typically cost 1–2 credits per contact, while premium providers (e.g., ZoomInfo, Lusha) cost 5–10 credits each. The Starter plan includes 2,000 credits/month at $149/month, Explorer includes 10,000 credits at $349/month, and Pro includes 50,000 credits at $800/month. Teams control costs by configuring which providers appear in their waterfall, setting per-row credit caps, and using conditional logic to skip expensive lookups when cheaper sources already returned valid data.
Claygent analyzes dozens of signals including recent company news, job postings, technology stack changes, funding events, leadership transitions, social media activity, and mutual connections. It can generate personalization angles like referencing a prospect's recent blog post or a company's latest product launch, producing research-grade context for each contact.
Yes, Clay excels at account-based strategies through its company intelligence and Signals features. It can identify all relevant stakeholders within target accounts, track organizational changes, and coordinate personalized outreach across multiple contacts while maintaining account-level context and scoring.
While Clay's Sculptor builder is no-code, maximizing the platform typically requires someone with sales operations experience or strong technical aptitude. Basic list building and enrichment can be set up in an afternoon, but advanced workflows, custom Claygent prompts, and CRM integrations benefit from a dedicated RevOps operator or Clay-certified consultant.
