Clay

| Compare | Developer | Clay |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Guess: Teams building apps on Atlassian (Jira, Confluence, Forge) | GTM and RevOps teams |
| Who it's not for | Anyone shopping for software to buy . nothing to purchase here | Small teams without a dedicated ops owner |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.² | SOC 2 certified (2024) with a public trust center; the one CVE found applies to an unrelated open-source C library also named 'clay', not this vendor. |
| Support quality | No support evidence found | No support evidence found |
| Public sentiment | No reviews of the Atlassian Developer portal surfaced; reviewed sources cover general developer topics instead. | Reviewers rate Clay 4.6/5 on G2 and call it a powerful enrichment tool, but repeatedly flag credit costs and recent pricing changes.⁶ |
| Biggest gotcha | Evaluate Jira/Confluence pricing, not this portal . real costs live there¹ | Credit costs are the real expense; total spend often exceeds the plan price11 |
