Production API underneath Clay, not a UI replacement

Clay is a no-code enrichment workflow builder. AgentEnrich is the API you call from Clay (or anywhere else) when the workflow stabilizes into production.

3 data layers under one API.
Plus an MCP server. Plus combo endpoints.

Layer 1 · Identity

Enrichment data

500M+ people. 70M+ companies. Verified emails. Mobile phones. Decision makers. Buying committees.

Layer 2 · Triggers

Real-time signals

Funding rounds. M&A. Hiring spikes. Job changes (with the actual LinkedIn post). Refreshed every 60 seconds.

Layer 3 · Local

Local SMB data

Plumbers in Tampa. Med spas in Austin. Owner name, mobile, email. B2SMB unlock most APIs don't ship.

Their focus.

No-code enrichment workflow tool. Spreadsheet + HTTP-column metaphor. Lets non-technical teams chain enrichment vendors visually. Strong community, lots of templates.

Pricing: Per-seat: ~$149/mo Starter, ~$349/mo Explorer, ~$800/mo Pro per seat. Plus credit packs for vendor enrichment. Real teams typically spend $1,500-$3,000/mo at scale.

Be honest about it.

Clay wins when you're running one-off campaigns, exploring filters, or have a non-technical user owning the workflow visually. Their UI is irreplaceable for ad-hoc list-building. We're not trying to replace Clay; we're the API underneath production columns.

Pick AgentEnrich when: You have workflows that stabilized into 'run this every day.' Production workflows shouldn't live in a spreadsheet. AgentEnrich runs them as scheduled API jobs with combo endpoints that replace 7-cell Clay waterfalls with one call.

Common questions.

Is AgentEnrich a Clay alternative?

Not exactly. Clay is a no-code workflow tool. AgentEnrich is the API you'd call from Clay (or anywhere else). Use both: Clay for exploration and one-offs, AgentEnrich for production workflows that run every day. Drop us in Clay as an HTTP column.

How much does Clay actually cost?

Clay starts at $149/mo per seat. Real production Clay teams spend $1,500-$3,000/mo once you add 3-5 seats + credit packs for vendor enrichment (each row chains 7-14 vendor calls). At that scale, switching production columns to AgentEnrich (one combo call per row instead of 7) typically saves 80%+ of credit costs.

Can I migrate from Clay to AgentEnrich?

Don't migrate everything. Keep Clay for visual exploration and ad-hoc work. Migrate production columns to AgentEnrich combo endpoints. Drop AgentEnrich in Clay as HTTP columns for the production rows. See /use-cases/clay-users and /blog/3-enrichment-apis-clay-users-wrong for the migration recipes.

Why combo endpoints instead of stitching primitives?

Clay waterfalls chain 7-14 vendor calls per row. Each call is a failure point, a latency add, and a billing line item. AgentEnrich's combo endpoints (find-decision-maker, prospect-package, buying-committee, funding-radar) make the same 7 upstream calls internally and return one cohesive answer. Faster, cheaper, fewer breakages.
