What is Clearbit?
Clearbit is a B2B enrichment and data provider (now HubSpot Breeze Intelligence post-acquisition). It covers company and person attributes, reveal, and form enrichment — historically paired with HubSpot or Salesforce for lead/account data hygiene.
Who it's for: RevOps and marketing teams needing company/person enrichment on CRM records, MAP forms, and website visitor reveal — particularly HubSpot-centric stacks.
Core Use Cases
- Enrich MAP and CRM records with firmographics and personographics
- Website visitor reveal for ABM outreach
- Form shortening via progressive enrichment
- Data hygiene maintenance across the inbound funnel
Pricing Overview
Historically per-record or tiered monthly; post-HubSpot acquisition, increasingly bundled as Breeze Intelligence for HubSpot customers. Mid-market teams commonly landed low-four to low-five figures monthly pre-acquisition.
Strengths
- Deep integration with HubSpot (now native via Breeze) and Salesforce
- Established dataset for US-centric B2B firmographic enrichment
- Reveal product is a staple for ABM visitor-identification plays
- Mature API and form enrichment patterns
Weaknesses
- Product roadmap uncertain post-HubSpot acquisition — net-new investment shifted into Breeze
- International and small-business coverage is weaker than aggregator-style alternatives
- Pricing model was less flexible than usage-based Clay-style aggregators
- Easy to pay twice when Apollo, ZoomInfo, or similar already cover the same records
Best Alternatives
When to Use It
- You are a HubSpot customer using Breeze Intelligence as an extension of your CRM
- Website reveal for ABM outreach is a measurable part of your motion
- You need straightforward enrichment without managing a waterfall of providers
When NOT to Use It
- You already pay for Apollo or ZoomInfo — Clearbit is often duplicate enrichment
- You need global coverage or flexible usage-based pricing (Clay/Apollo fit better)
- You want to consolidate enrichment into a single aggregator-orchestrator layer
StackSwap Insight
Clearbit alongside Apollo or ZoomInfo is one of the most common duplicate-enrichment patterns — two tools covering the same fields with conflicting logic. Post-HubSpot acquisition the calculus shifted again: Breeze Intelligence may already be in your HubSpot bill. StackScan surfaces these overlaps directly.
