Clay is a data enrichment and outreach platform that connects to over 150 data providers and AI research agents. You build tables of prospects or companies, automatically enrich them with contact, company and intent data, and use those enriched records to power personalised outreach.
It suits sales, growth and marketing teams who need to build targeted lists and move from data to action quickly. Pricing is usage-based: credits are consumed per enrichment lookup, and costs vary depending on which data sources you draw from. A limited free tier is available.
Clay suits technical operators and growth engineers who can invest time in building effective workflows. For teams that need a simple CRM or point-and-click list builder it is not the right starting point; for those who can commit to setup it is a powerful way to build and act on prospect data at scale.
