Clay Cost Optimization

Pay for the data you use — not the data you touch.

The problem this solves

Clay bills Actions and Data Credits differently, and most overspend comes from workflow design, not plan tier.

Common situations

  • Credit burn is much higher than expected.
  • You suspect dead rows are being enriched.
  • You want a cost model before choosing a plan tier.

Typical scope

  • Usage audit by table and workflow
  • Waterfall restructuring
  • BYO API key economics
  • Cost-per-usable-record baseline

Systems involved

Clay usage dashboards, provider billing, your CRM.

Deliverables

  • Usage and cost audit
  • Restructured waterfalls with measured savings
  • Budget controls and monitoring

What we need from you

Recent usage data (exports of Settings → Usage), plan tier, workflow inventory.

Technical considerations

Savings claims should follow measurement, not precede it — the audit comes first.

How the request process works

  1. Submit the project form with your requirements (about 5 minutes).
  2. The CFE team reviews it and responds with scope and next steps.
  3. If there is a fit, you get a scoped proposal; if not, an honest referral to a better-fit resource.
