Clay has a free plan, Launch at $167 a month and Growth at $446 a month billed annually, and custom Enterprise pricing. Each paid price is two meters added together: actions, for the platform work, and data credits, for data bought from Clay's providers. That's why you'll see other numbers quoted: billed monthly the same plans start at $185 and $495, and the actions meter alone starts at $54 and $185.

## Clay's plans at a glance

**Clay plans, cheapest tier of each meter**

| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | Actions | Data credits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0 | $0 | 500 a month | 100 a month |
| Launch | $167 a month ($54 + $113) | $185 ($60 + $125) | 15,000 a month | 2,500 a month |
| Growth | $446 a month ($185 + $261) | $495 ($205 + $290) | 40,000 a month | 6,000 a month |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |

Clay's cards show the annual totals. The sums in brackets are ours, from the tier lists on the same page: actions first, then data credits. Free includes up to 200 rows per table. Every plan has unlimited seats, and paid plans start with a 14-day trial.

What each plan adds, per the page: Launch brings phone numbers, unlimited search with Audiences, job change and other signal tracking, and email sending through Clay's sequencer or an integration. Growth adds CRM sync and enrichment, any HTTP API, webhooks, web intent signals, ad audiences and priority support. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, role-based access, credit budgets and a dedicated growth strategist.

## Actions and data credits

**Actions** pay for what Clay's platform does: running your tables, calling a provider or an AI model, returning the result. They start at less than $0.01 each, reset every billing cycle and don't roll over.

**Data credits** pay for data from Clay's 150+ providers: emails, phone numbers, company data, and AI models. They start at $0.05 each and do roll over: on Launch and Growth, unused data credits can build up to twice the monthly amount. Bring your own API key for a provider and you skip data credits, though each run still costs an action. If an enrichment finds nothing, you pay for neither.

Run out and you can buy more data credits at a 30% premium or move to a higher actions tier. Paying annually saves 10%.

## How the price grows

Each meter has its own ladder, and you pick a rung on each. Monthly amounts below; annual plans give the same amount as a yearly total.

**Launch: actions**

| Actions | A month, billed annually | A month, billed monthly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 15,000 a month (180,000 a year) | $54 | $60 |
| 40,000 a month (480,000 a year) | $135 | $150 |
| 60,000 a month (720,000 a year) | $180 | $200 |
| 100,000 a month (1,200,000 a year) | $261 | $290 |
| 200,000 a month (2,400,000 a year) | $486 | $540 |

**Launch: data credits**

| Data credits | A month, billed annually | A month, billed monthly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2,500 a month (30,000 a year) | $113 | $125 |
| 6,000 a month (72,000 a year) | $261 | $290 |
| 10,000 a month (120,000 a year) | $414 | $460 |
| 20,000 a month (240,000 a year) | $792 | $880 |
| 50,000 a month (600,000 a year) | $1,913 | $2,125 |

**Growth: actions**

| Actions | A month, billed annually | A month, billed monthly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 40,000 a month (480,000 a year) | $185 | $205 |
| 60,000 a month (720,000 a year) | $261 | $290 |
| 100,000 a month (1,200,000 a year) | $405 | $450 |
| 200,000 a month (2,400,000 a year) | $765 | $850 |

**Growth: data credits**

| Data credits | A month, billed annually | A month, billed monthly |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 6,000 a month (72,000 a year) | $261 | $290 |
| 10,000 a month (120,000 a year) | $413 | $460 |
| 20,000 a month (240,000 a year) | $792 | $880 |
| 50,000 a month (600,000 a year) | $1,913 | $2,125 |

A worked example from those ladders: Launch, billed monthly, with 40,000 actions and 6,000 data credits is $150 + $290 = $440 a month.

## Where the numbers on Clay's page disagree

Clay's page isn't consistent with itself, which explains some of what you'll read elsewhere:

- The FAQ gives Launch "starting at $185/mo" and Growth "starting at $495/mo". Those are the monthly-billing sums; the cards show the annual ones ($167 and $446).
- The FAQ says Launch includes 2,500 data credits a month; the Launch card's label says 3,000.

## If you use Clay to find companies that are hiring

Finding companies that are hiring for what you sell is one of the jobs people build in Clay. Outscope is that one job, finished, at one price: $99 a month for 3 campaigns, 5,000 postings read and 100 email credits. It reads new postings on public job boards on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and Workday every day against your buying signals, keeps the line that shows the need, and finds who to email. [Outscope as a Clay alternative](https://outscope.co/vs/clay) compares the two side by side.
