AI Sales Console vs Clay·For skilled operators

A power tool. Bring a power user.

If your problem is 40 tools to know who someone is, Clay is the right obsession. If the row is already there and nobody called, that is a different product. This one.

AI Sales Console
Team $1,999/mo

250 leads worked across calls, email and SMS, with booking included. Public ladder, monthly billing, $8.00 per worked lead and extras at the same rate.

Clay
Credits + actions

Credit-based (Data Credits + Actions). Clay prices in data credits and actions, with a free tier and an Enterprise door. Credit burn is the variable your finance team feels; check clay.com for the current tiers.

What Clay gets right

  • Best-in-class waterfall enrichment across 100+ providers
  • A highly flexible visual workflow builder
  • Claygent research
  • The right tool for ops people who want to build

Where it breaks for you

  • Not a sales team
  • Does not call or text
  • Needs an operator
  • Credits are a second job to manage

The honest verdict.

Choose Clay if

You have (or are) a technical RevOps person, you want 100+ providers in a waterfall, and you will push the output into another tool. That is a real job. Clay is excellent at it.

Choose AI Sales Console if

You need the rows worked. Sage still enriches the lead you hand us. Then the rest of the team sells. Team $1,999/mo for 250 leads worked. Plenty of buyers keep Clay as the list and add the team - upload the table, no rip and replace.
