Plans & billing

We'll walk through each of our pricing plans and information around billing your workspace.

Overview

Clay offers three plan tiers that differ by features, capacity, and pricing. For a detailed comparison of all plans, visit our pricing page.

You can adjust your yearly or monthly credit limits on most plans to match your usage needs, either during sign-up or by contacting our team.

Understanding actions and data credits

  • Actions measure the orchestration you do in Clay: enriching data, running AI research, and sending data to other tools (like posting to Slack or generating Notion briefs). Each enrichment or execution task consumes 1 action. Each action costs a few tenths of a penny. Actions are a background meter included in your Clay plan. 90% of customers will never hit their actions limit.
  • Data credits: Used to buy data or AI from 3rd-party vendors in Clay's data marketplace—costs vary by data type. Each credit costs a few pennies.

This separation gives you transparency and control over exactly what you're paying for.

AI usage

Every AI prompt counts as one action. Data credits are consumed based on the model you select—Clay offers both fixed and variable AI pricing. For details on how AI pricing works, see our guide on how AI is priced.

For more details on actions and data credits, see our comprehensive guide on actions and data credits.

FAQs

How do I track my actions and data credits usage?

You can track both actions and data credits usage in the Usage Dashboard, which you can access from the Settings menu in the app. You can also track usage at the table level via Table history.

Do credits roll over?

Monthly plans: When your plan refreshes, unused data credits will roll over and accumulate. The maximum accumulation is capped at 2× your plan's monthly credit limit. For example, if your plan includes 50,000 credits per month, your maximum balance would be 100,000.

Annual plans: When your plan refreshes, you can roll over up to 15% of your annual data credits in addition to the new credits you receive, provided you renew on the same or a higher-tier plan.

For more details, see our guide on actions and data credits.

What if I need more actions or data credits?

You can upgrade your plan tier at any time by visiting your plan settings page. You can also purchase one-off data credits at a 30% premium during your billing cycle.

How many actions and data credits do I need?

  • Launch plan: Suitable for enriching less than 1,000 records per month
  • Growth plan: Suitable for enriching 1,000 to 10,000 records per month
  • Enterprise plan: Suitable for enriching 10,000+ records per month

Each fully enriched record typically costs 6-20 data credits (including company and person profile, email, phone number, and custom AI enrichments). The more private API keys you use, the fewer data credits you'll spend per record.
