The short version

  • Only Quo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Clay two separate meters run at once, actions and data credits, and a plan can exhaust either independently; Quo unlimited calling to US and Canadian numbers is subject to a Fair Usage Policy rather than being truly unlimited

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Clay

  • Two separate meters run at once, actions and data credits, and a plan can exhaust either independently
  • Data credit overage is sold at a 30% premium over the plan rate, so exceeding the allowance costs more per unit than planning for it
  • The free plan allows 500 actions, 100 data credits and 200 rows per table
  • The entry paid plan starts at $167 a month, and both paid prices are starting figures rather than fixed
  • The free plan cannot buy overage at all, so hitting the limit stops work rather than billing for it

Quo

  • Unlimited calling to US and Canadian numbers is subject to a Fair Usage Policy rather than being truly unlimited
  • Starter tier's $15/user annual rate requires prepaying annually; monthly billing costs $19/user, about 27% more
  • The Sona AI agent automation credits are capped at 1,000 free per plan before additional usage is billed
