Clay: Pricing, Features & Alternatives (2026)
A research agent that fills a go-to-market table.
Overview
Clay is a spreadsheet built for prospecting and enrichment. Claygent, its research agent, reads the web and writes custom fields. Waterfalls then try several data providers until a cell is filled. Teams push the rows into a CRM or a sending tool. It does not run a campaign by itself. It prepares the list the campaign depends on.
