Reviews across the web
Clay is beloved by power users — near-perfect scores on G2 (4.9) and Product Hunt (4.8) driven by its waterfall enrichment and AI research agent — but community sentiment is more divided than the ratings suggest. The recurring complaints are opaque credit economics, surprise billing, and a learning curve that punishes casual users, reflected in a much lower Trustpilot score. It rewards teams willing to invest in learning it and monitoring credit burn.
Full roundup →Prospeo is a newer email finder with a strong G2 profile (4.6 across ~437 reviews) and a reputation for accuracy and low bounce rates, especially on LinkedIn-based workflows. The main friction points in negative reviews are credit consumption on bulk jobs that return few matches, and slow support on billing issues. Note that Prospeo publishes many comparison pages about competitors, so third-party coverage of the space often traces back to its own content.
