Clay
Clay, built right. Clean data into your CRM.
Clay is powerful, and easy to turn into an expensive mess. We build the enrichment waterfalls, the target lists, and the sync - so your CRM fills itself with data your team can trust, and you only pay for the lookups that land.
Enrichment that verifies. Lists your reps will work. No junk into the CRM.

What we build
Three things, done properly.
Not "we know Clay." A built system: waterfalls in cost order, lists your reps will work, and the sync that keeps your CRM honest.
Enrichment & waterfalls
Multi-source waterfalls that complete the record. The cheap source runs first; the expensive one only fires when it has to. High fill-rate, low waste, verified before anything is written.
List building & prospecting
Target-account and contact lists built from Clay’s sources, deduped and scored against your ICP - not a raw export, a list your reps will actually work.
CRM sync & signals
Clean, enriched data pushed into HubSpot or Salesforce, and signals - job changes, hiring, new tech - turned into plays that fire when the moment is right.
Built in your Clay workspace, documented, and owned by you.
The shape of it
What an enrichment waterfall actually does.
One field, tried against source after source, cheapest first, until something verified comes back. The waterfall is the difference between a fill-rate and a bill.
You pay per hit, not per attempt. Order the sources wrong and one field costs you three times.
How it works
Three steps.
Scope what’s worth paying for, build it in your workspace, and govern the credits and the quality - no black box handed over at the end.
Scope
What data you actually need, what each field is worth, and which lookups are worth paying for. Most Clay bills are big because nobody asked this first.
Build
The tables, the waterfalls in cost order, the dedupe and ICP scoring, and the sync into your CRM. Documented, and owned by you.
Govern
Verified before it writes, credits watched, nothing unverified into the CRM. It runs quietly and stays clean.
Straight talk
Clay is a build, not a button.
It is the right tool when you need enrichment or lists at scale and you want them clean. It is the wrong one when a plain rule would do - and it will quietly bill you either way.
Reach for Clay
worth the build
- Enrichment at scale, from more than one source
- Target lists you rebuild by hand every quarter
- Fields that are always empty in the CRM
- Signals you want turned into timely plays
You don’t need it
a rule would do
- One provider already covers your enrichment
- A static list that rarely changes
- A deterministic job a workflow runs for free
- Data your CRM can pull natively
We’ll tell you which one you are before you pay for a seat. If a rule does it cheaper, we build the rule. See automations →

Questions
Clay, answered.
What is Clay, and what do you build with it?
Clay (clay.com) is a data tool for enrichment and list-building that pulls from many providers at once. We build the parts that make it pay: enrichment waterfalls, target lists scored against your ICP, and a clean sync into your CRM. Not "we know Clay" - a built, documented system you own.
Do I need Clay, or will my CRM’s enrichment do?
If one provider already fills your fields and your lists rarely change, you probably don’t need Clay. It earns its place when you need enrichment from several sources at scale, lists you keep rebuilding by hand, or signals turned into plays. We’ll tell you honestly which one you are.
How do you stop enriched data from being wrong?
Every value is verified against a source before it’s written, low-confidence fields go to a person, and nothing unverified reaches the CRM. Enrichment without that check is just confident guessing at scale.
How do you keep the Clay bill down?
Waterfalls run cheapest-source-first, so you pay for the hit, not the attempt, and the premium provider only fires when the free one misses. We scope what’s actually worth enriching before building, and watch the credits after.
Do you build in our Clay workspace or yours?
Yours. The tables, waterfalls and sync are built in your workspace, documented, and owned by you - no black box, no lock-in to us.
