Credit Cost Overview
Clay credits are the “currency” you use to purchase different data points and actions in Clay. The average cost of a data point or action varies depending on the provider and the data point in question.
The vast majority of actions in Clay are either free, or cost 1-2 credits. Some data points are harder to find and just more expensive as a result - like mobile phone numbers.
Example Costs:
Finding an Email:
Prospeo, DropContact, Datagma, Hunter.io: 2 credits
People Data Labs: 5 credits (higher cost due to provider pricing)
Finding a Mobile Number:
Starts at 2 credits
People Data Labs: 5 credits
Selligence: 13 credits
ContactOut: 15 credits
Datagma: 25 credits (higher cost due to provider pricing)
💵 How do I see my credit spend cost for a table?
Unfortunately we don’t currently support automatic table spend credit reports (we’re working on it!). However, there is one way to get higher level analytics on your runs in clay at the moment:
Right click on a column and select “Run Info," and you’ll get a summary of the credits spent on just that column till date.
🤷🏽♂️ Do I pay credits for prospecting?
No, you only pay credits for actual data enrichment. You can prospect accounts or leads from LinkedIn, google maps, github, CRM tools, web scraping, and much more - all for free. The only added detail is that your LinkedIn prospecting is capped per search. That cap increases on the Pro plan from 2,500 to 5,000 - and to 10,000 and above on Enterprise.
🔢 How do I figure out how many credits I need?
✏️ Note on HTTP/API
You can connect any external data sources to Clay via HTTP/API for free. We’re big believers in paying for the value that you get - so if you’re primarily getting that value somewhere else, keep it there!
