Data & Enrichment 10

Clay

#1 overall

★ 4.8

The tool that reorganized how modern GTM teams think about data. If you run outbound and you're not on Clay, you're paying more for less. Steep learning curve, worth it.

The best value in outbound: a big contact database, sequences and a dialer in one login. It won't beat specialist tools on data accuracy, but for a small team it covers most of the job.

The simplest way to get waterfall enrichment without building it yourself. Upload a list, get back emails and mobiles found across many providers, and pay only for what it finds.

A focused email finder with a reputation for low bounce rates. Ideal for turning Sales Navigator searches into verified emails.

A fast, accurate finder with a strong LinkedIn workflow. A great value alternative for building verified lists.

Another strong waterfall option that queries many providers and charges only for valid results. Good value if you don't want to build the logic yourself.

The pick for teams that live on the phone, especially in Europe. Phone-verified mobiles and a compliance-first approach set it apart.

The deepest database in the market, with org charts, technographics and intent. Priced and contracted like enterprise software, so it only pays off at scale.

Easy for reps to adopt: find a contact's email and phone in a click from LinkedIn or a company site. Accuracy is decent, depth is limited.

Does one job well: turn Sales Navigator lists into verified emails and phone numbers.

Enterprise intent, account identification and predictive scoring for ABM. Powerful, but heavy and expensive.

The intent data behind many ABM tools. Useful as an input, but you'll need other tools to act on it.
