Clay vs Demandbase

Clay is a spreadsheet-style platform for connecting information and automating work, aimed at salespeople, growth teams, and small agencies finding and reaching customers. It enriches data through more than 150 providers and can combine sources in multi-provider waterfalls. Claygent, its AI agent, can research the web and generate custom data points. Depending on the plan, users can track signals such as job changes, promotions, new hires, company news, social activity, and web intent. Integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Snowflake, and Google BigQuery. Clay can centralize audience data and sync ad audiences to LinkedIn, Meta, and Google. Its Salesforce integration can manage data, create or update records, and access reports and views. The Free plan allows up to 200 rows per table and excludes phone number enrichment.
