Buy if you're a solo founder or small agency doing LinkedIn-heavy outreach and want Claude-connected AI agents; confidence is low because independent evidence is thin.

Clay

Depends
Confidence: Low

Buy if you run outbound at scale and have an ops person to build and maintain workflows; skip it if you need a simple contact list or predictable pricing.
