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.
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.
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.

- The right tool for ops people who want to build
Where it breaks for you
- Not a sales team

The honest verdict.
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.
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.
