Clay pricing: what Free, Launch, Growth and Enterprise cost

updated 18 October 2026 · facts about other products checked 17 October 2026 from their own pages

Clay costs $0 on the Free plan, from $185 a month on Launch (billed monthly), from $495 a month on Growth (billed monthly), and a custom price on Enterprise. Annual billing saves 10%, which brings Launch to $167 a month and Growth to $446 a month. What you pay depends on two meters, "actions" and "data credits", and you size each one separately.

The prices below come from Clay's own pricing page, checked on 17 October 2026. They change, so confirm on the page before you buy.

In a pottery workshop, an otter craftsperson works beside four shelves of clay vessels, from a single simple pot to an elaborate custom commission, with jars of colored glaze representing extra resources.

How the two meters add up

Each paid plan is a base package. On top of it you pick one tier for actions and one for data credits.

Actions per monthPriceData credits per monthPrice
15K$602.5K$125
40K$1506K$290
60K$20010K$460
100K$29020K$880
200K$54050K$2,125

These are the monthly tiers Clay lists. A plan's starting price is its smallest actions tier plus its smallest data credit tier, so Launch at $185 is the $60 tier plus the $125 tier.

What drives the bill up

By the page's numbers, a data credit costs far more than an action (2.5K credits is $125, while 15K actions is $60). So workflows heavy on enrichment cost more than ones that mostly move data around. Some features are tied to plans too. Phone enrichment and CRM sync only come on higher tiers, so needing one of them can push you from Launch to Growth before your volume does.

How to estimate your cost

  1. Count the rows you will process each month.
  2. For each row, list the steps: lookups, AI research runs, enrichment calls.
  3. Check the Clay page for how many actions and credits each step uses, then multiply.
  4. Pick the nearest tier for each meter and add the two prices.
  5. Choose between Launch and Growth based on whether you need phone numbers, CRM sync or warehouse sync.

Try a small table on the free plan first. Its 500 actions and 100 data credits are enough to see how a workflow uses them up.

Alternatives and other categories

If you mainly need a contact database with sequences, Apollo pricing is published per seat. For a larger packaged platform, look at ZoomInfo pricing. The best AI lead generation tools list compares more options.

HearBuyers does a different job. It finds people on X and Reddit who are already asking for what you sell, and you can feed those posts into a workflow like Clay's. If Clay's cost is the problem, Clay alternatives groups the options by job.

Next step: take one list you already work, run it on the Free plan, and write down the actions and credits it used before you choose a paid tier.
