No complex configuration

Clay's limitations for B2B prospecting
Clay excels at data enrichment but has significant gaps for complete B2B prospecting.
No integrated CRM
Clay focuses only on enrichment. You need to use an external CRM like HubSpot or Salesforce.
No email sending
To send your campaigns, you must integrate a tool like Lemlist, Instantly or Outreach, which significantly increases the total cost.
Expensive credit system
Clay's credit model quickly becomes expensive for active teams. The Pro plan at $349/month offers only 12,000 credits.
Technical setup required
Creating effective workflows on Clay requires technical skills. Without expertise, the tool remains underutilized.
No LinkedIn prospecting
Clay offers no LinkedIn automation feature. You need to add an additional tool like Waalaxy or La Growth Machine.
