Kavex vs Clay

Clay is an enrichment workflow tool that pipes data through 80+ providers. Kavex is a bundled scraper. When to use which.

Clay is an orchestration layer: it pipes your list through 80+ third-party providers in "waterfalls". Powerful — and you pay for it twice: a $149-$800+/month platform fee on top of every underlying provider's per-enrichment cost. The bill scales with every step you add to the chain.

Kavex is the actual source for many of those fields — LinkedIn, Maps, websites, tech stack — at pay-per-result with no monthly fee. The pattern that wins: build the list on Kavex cheaply, and reserve Clay for the long-tail fields a bundled scraper genuinely cannot reach.

Pricing summary

Clay: $149/month (Starter) to $800+/month (Enterprise), plus you pay the underlying provider costs per enrichment. Kavex: pay-per-result, no monthly fee. Many B2B teams use both.
