Clay is beloved by power users — near-perfect scores on G2 (4.9) and Product Hunt (4.8) driven by its waterfall enrichment and AI research agent — but community sentiment is more divided than the ratings suggest. The recurring complaints are opaque credit economics, surprise billing, and a learning curve that punishes casual users, reflected in a much lower Trustpilot score. It rewards teams willing to invest in learning it and monitoring credit burn.
