Clay is a workbench. Salesgear is the finished engine.
Clay can do a lot, but it is a workbench: you hire a GTM engineer to wire the tables, the enrichment waterfalls, and the prompts before your first send. Salesgear ships the engine already assembled, with owned data, deep research, copy, and dialing working out of the box, so you are productive in minutes.
Empowering 1,000+ sales leadersand representatives to build a stronger sales pipeline.
A workbench you assemble. An engine that ships finished.
Clay is a table you build: formula columns, stacked enrichment providers, credit meters, and a GTM engineer to keep it running. Salesgear is one screen that researches, writes, and sends, live in minutes.
Every column is a provider you rent and a credit you meter. Nothing sends until you finish the build.
One screen, owned data underneath, no formula columns, no provider waterfall, no builder to keep it alive.
Salesgear vs Clay, capability by capability
You own the data instead of routing other people's
Clay is a brilliant orchestrator: it routes other providers' secondary data through enrichment waterfalls. You rent every source and stitch them together row by row. Salesgear owns the data layer outright, so there is no waterfall to assemble.
One price, not a meter for every provider you add
Clay charges across Data Credits and Actions, then the providers you route through it meter on top, each with its own variable cost. The bill moves with every row you run. Salesgear is one seat price with the data, research, dialer, and email already inside.
- No per-row credit math. Accounts are auto-enriched with no per-enrichment credits to budget or watch drain.
- No provider stack to own. The data is Salesgear's, so you are not paying four vendors to fill one contact.
- One predictable line. $99 per seat, all in, instead of a base plan plus credits plus a sender plus a dialer.
Credit-based tiers vs one all-in seat
Clay's paid plans are credit-metered across Data Credits and Actions, before the providers and tools you stack around it. Salesgear is one seat price with research, dialer, and email already inside.
Credit-metered plans, plus the data providers and sending tools you assemble around the workbench.
One platform, productive in minutes, instead of a credit-metered workbench plus a stack to assemble.
Your CRM stays the source of truth
A workbench exports rows you then have to route somewhere else. Salesgear syncs both ways with the CRMs you already run, so every email, call, and reply lands on the right record automatically.
Salesgear vs Clay, answered
Is Salesgear a good Clay alternative?
Yes, if you want a finished engine instead of a workbench to build. Clay can do a lot, but you wire the tables, enrichment waterfalls, prompts, and integrations yourself before your first send. Salesgear ships research, copy, owned data, email, and dialing already assembled, so you are productive in minutes.
Do I need a GTM engineer to run Salesgear?
No. Clay setups live in the head of the person who built them, so the motion breaks when they leave. Salesgear runs the same whether or not you have a GTM engineer on staff. Your reps operate one workflow that does not need maintenance.
How is Salesgear's data different from Clay's?
Clay orchestrates other providers' data through enrichment waterfalls, so you rent and stitch every source. Salesgear owns 800M+ contacts at 95% mobile direct-dial accuracy, re-verified the moment you pull them, with no waterfall of third-party credits to manage.
How does pricing compare to Clay?
Clay is credit-based. Its paid plans start at $185 per month for the Launch tier and $495 per month for Growth, and both meter Data Credits and Actions, on top of the providers and tools you stack around it. Salesgear is $99 per seat, all in, with data, research, dialer, and email included.
How fast can I send my first sequence?
Clay is a build project, so time-to-first-send is slow: you assemble the workbench before anyone goes out. Salesgear is the finished engine, so you go from signup to a researched, written, ready-to-review sequence in minutes.
Which CRMs does Salesgear sync with?
Salesgear syncs two ways with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Zoho, so every email, call, and reply lands on the right record automatically.
