Comen'n, you're a techie. Use Google Sheets + Google App Scripts to make external API calls for each column! Or just use N8N :)
I feel like there are a lot of tools in this space, but they're all flawed, or they all defeat the purpose of Clay - which is having easy access to a lot of integrations with external data providers, and then falling back to their AI agent if you can't find a data provider. You're probably not going to save money by spending more time stitching together multiple tools, instead of doing everything at once in Clay.
That said, I did compiled some alternatives in my blog awhile ago if you're interested. (Just search for "Bloomberry Clay alternatives"). If you're OK with some limitations like less CRM integrations (ie. some only support Hubspot), or less data providers (some use less contact data providers in their waterfall enrichment), then there definitely are some cheaper ones you can try.
i dont even use a crm blushes. To be honest, im just starting out with outbound so im not doing anything sophisticated. Just want to import a list of leads, enrich with contact details and their tech stack data. Thats all.
Ppl keep recommending me tools like apollo and zoominfo but they way too powerful for me. I dont care about how many data providers they have because i just care about those 2 thinfs
The problem with not using Clay is that most of them dont do waterfall enrichment. So you’re just gonna end up with a list with 50% enriched instead of 90-95%…

Is there a particular thing you can live without?
