Why Firmable
How do Firmable and Clay fit together?
One data engine, however your team works
Firmable and Clay aren’t competing for the same job. They’re built for different people at different layers of the go-to-market stack, and most teams end up using both.
Firmable is built for the people closest to the phone: sellers, SDRs and sales leaders who think in lists, filters and signals. Build a target list, see who’s hiring or raising, get a verified email and mobile number, and start the conversation, in a few clicks with no setup.
Clay is an orchestration layer for the people running the machine behind the team: RevOps and GTM engineers who think in workflows, stitching together sequential steps, AI agents and a waterfall of data providers to enrich, qualify and route records automatically at scale.
Add Firmable as a contact data provider inside your Clay workflows, tables or waterfall to maximize coverage of accurate contact information before records sync to HubSpot or Salesforce.
Firmable does not just return an email or phone number. It returns a contact’s full profile, with work history, LinkedIn summary, title and more, ready to feed into an AI qualification agent. Only accounts that clear the bar reach a rep’s queue, with the reasoning attached.
Use Firmable directly to build territory lists, track hiring and funding signals on target accounts, and push verified contacts straight into your CRM. Live in a day, not a quarter.
Sales champion Firmable for their own outbound motion while RevOps run Clay centrally for broader enrichment workflows. Same underlying Firmable data, two different access points, no conflict between teams.
Use Firmable through Clay’s own credit system. No separate contract, billed alongside everything else in your Clay workspace. The fastest way to start.
Bring your own key
Connect your own Firmable account, available on the Firmable Enterprise plan, so your Clay workflows draw on your direct Firmable plan instead of Clay credits. For teams using Firmable data at volume this is typically the more cost-efficient path. Worth a side-by-side plan comparison with your rep.
Not using Clay
Firmable works as a complete standalone platform. Build lists, monitor buying signals like hiring, funding and tech stack changes, and pull verified contact and company data straight into your CRM.
No orchestration layer, no GTM engineer, no implementation project. Your reps get value on day one.

Frequently asked questions
On how Firmable and Clay work together.
Does Firmable integrate with Clay?
Yes. Firmable is a native data-provider integration inside Clay. You can pull verified work email, personal email and mobile number lookups directly into your Clay tables.
How do I connect Firmable to Clay?
There are two ways. Clay-managed uses Firmable through Clay’s own credit system, with no separate contract, billed alongside everything else in your Clay workspace. Bring your own key connects your own Firmable account, available on the Firmable Enterprise plan, so your workflows draw on your direct Firmable plan instead of Clay credits.
Which connection method is cheaper?
For teams using Firmable data at volume, bring your own key is typically the more cost-efficient path, because you buy Firmable data on a Firmable plan rather than through Clay credits. Below that volume, Clay-managed is simpler and faster to start. It is worth a side-by-side plan comparison with your rep.
Do I need Clay to use Firmable?
No. Firmable is a complete standalone platform. You can build prospect lists, monitor buying signals like hiring, funding and technology changes, and push verified contact and company data into your CRM without any orchestration layer.
Is Firmable a Clay alternative or a Clay data provider?
Both, depending on your team. For RevOps and GTM engineers who need orchestration, Firmable is a data provider inside Clay. For sales teams who need lists, signals and verified contacts without building workflows, Firmable is a complete platform on its own.
What data does Firmable return inside Clay?
Verified work email, personal email and mobile number lookups, plus a contact’s full profile including work history, LinkedIn summary and title. That full profile is what lets teams feed Firmable output straight into an AI qualification agent rather than enriching a bare email address.
What geographies does Firmable cover?
Firmable has deep, purpose-built company and contact coverage across APAC and North America, with 15m+ company records and 135m+ people records across 1,000+ data attributes.
Do sales and RevOps have to choose one tool?
No. A common pattern is sales championing Firmable for their own outbound motion while RevOps run Clay centrally for broader enrichment workflows. It is the same underlying Firmable data through two different access points, so there is no conflict between teams.
“Business development is one of the toughest parts of recruitment. We needed a way to segment the market, build contact lists and reach the right people before anyone else.”
Conor Lydon Director, Cure Recruitment
