Why teams leave Clearbit
HubSpot-Only Since the Acquisition
Clearbit now says it has joined HubSpot, sells no new standalone subscriptions, and points new customers to enrichment inside HubSpot (help.clearbit.com, read October 3, 2026). If your CRM is Salesforce or Pipedrive, the tool you bought no longer sells to you.
No API Keys for New Accounts
Clearbit's help center says API keys exist only for Clearbit accounts created in 2023 or earlier. A team that signed up in 2024 or later gets no Clearbit API. Cleanlist AI's REST API starts on Pro.
Free Tools Sunset
The free Clearbit Platform, Weekly Visitor Report, TAM Calculator, Connect and the free Slack integration were sunset on April 30, 2025, per Clearbit's help center.
Enrichment Tied to a HubSpot Plan
Inside HubSpot, data enrichment comes with paid Starter, Professional and Enterprise plans (knowledge.hubspot.com, read October 3, 2026). The price of enrichment is the price of the HubSpot plan. Cleanlist AI prices enrichment on its own, from $49 a seat, for any CRM.

What you are switching to.
Cleanlist AI asks providers in cost order and stops at the first deliverable result. One credit balance covers the whole team.
- 98%verified work email on our 500-lead benchmark
- 85%phone numbers found on the same 500 leads
- 25+providers in one waterfall tried cheapest first
OmniAn example lookup: four providers are tried for the work email and the waterfall stops at the first deliverable result, then two for the phone number. Only the two verified results are charged, 11 credits in all.
A verified work email costs 1 credit however many providers it took to find. A phone number costs 10, both together 11, validation 0.5 and AI qualification 5. Results sync both ways with HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive, and push one way to Outreach, Salesloft and Lemlist. Sequences sends the email steps for 0 credits, or you keep your own sequencer.
What Clearbit and Cleanlist AI cost.
Costs for common team sizes and volumes. Every Clearbit figure comes from Clearbit's own pages, read October 3, 2026, or from the third party named beside it.
| Scenario | Clearbit | Cleanlist | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Startup, 1K enrichments/month | A paid HubSpot plan (Sales Hub Starter lists at $20 a seat) | $89/mo (1 Pro seat, 1,500 credits) | Works with any CRM |
| Growth team, 5K enrichments/month | A paid HubSpot plan | $229/mo (Pro, 5,000 credits a month) | Phone numbers included |
Starter is $49 and Pro $89 per seat a month, 25% off annually. Every seat adds its credits to one balance the whole team draws from, and unused credits roll over.
Frequently asked questions
What teams ask before they move off Clearbit.
Is Clearbit shutting down?
Clearbit no longer sells standalone. Its site reads that Clearbit has joined HubSpot, its help center says it offers no new standalone subscriptions and sunset its free tools on April 30, 2025, and API keys exist only for accounts created in 2023 or earlier (clearbit.com and help.clearbit.com, read October 3, 2026). New customers get enrichment inside paid HubSpot plans.
Does Cleanlist AI provide the same company data as Clearbit?
For the firmographic core, yes: company name, industry, employee count, location and domain. Cleanlist AI sells no technology-stack dataset, so a tech-stack question goes to an AI column that researches the open web rather than to a verified field. Cleanlist AI also includes verified phone numbers and uses 25+ data sources for higher fill rates on every field it does carry.
How does the API migration work?
Cleanlist AI's REST API accepts similar inputs (email address, company domain) and returns enriched contact and company data in JSON format. The data structure differs from Clearbit's API, so you will need to update your field mapping. Most developers complete the migration in 2-4 hours. Documentation is available at docs.cleanlist.ai.
Will I lose my enrichment history?
Your Clearbit-enriched data lives in your CRM, not in Clearbit's platform. When you switch to Cleanlist AI, your existing enriched records stay intact. Cleanlist AI adds new enrichment on top: it fills gaps, updates stale data and adds phone numbers.
Run it in parallel before you cancel.
