The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Clay two separate meters run at once, actions and data credits, and a plan can exhaust either independently; Salesloft the Internet Archive's capture of SalesLoft's pricing page on 3 December 2020 named four distinct packages, Prospect (lead generation), Sell (opportunity management), Engage (post-sale customer experience), and Enterprise (full revenue lifecycle), with no figures published, only 'Request a Quote'.
  • They diverge on capability: Clay covers Data enrichment, Salesloft covers Cadences.

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

Salesloft

  • The Internet Archive's capture of SalesLoft's pricing page on 3 December 2020 named four distinct packages, Prospect (lead generation), Sell (opportunity management), Engage (post-sale customer experience), and Enterprise (full revenue lifecycle), with no figures published, only 'Request a Quote'.
