Clay is a workflow tool, not a database.
Sendburg gives you more.
Clay is a powerful data enrichment workflow builder — but it's not a contact database. You pay per enrichment credit across 50+ sources, and setup requires technical configuration. Sendburg is a ready-made B2B intelligence platform: search, filter, export, and go in minutes.
Why teams choose Sendburg over Clay
Ready to use vs DIY setup
Sendburg is searchable instantly — 150M+ contacts, 50+ filters, export in one click. Clay requires building waterfall enrichment workflows before you can prospect.
Predictable cost vs per-credit billing
Sendburg plans are flat monthly with a generous free tier. Clay charges per enrichment credit across each data provider — costs escalate quickly at volume.
AI briefings built in
Sendburg includes AI account briefings and buying signals on every plan. Clay integrates with AI tools but doesn't generate account intelligence natively.
