When to use what

Use Clay when…

  • You already have a lead list and want to compose multi-step enrichment workflows
  • You want a spreadsheet UX with conditional logic + provider waterfall
  • Your sources are APIs and databases, not unstructured web pages
  • You're already invested in Clay's provider marketplace + signals

Use Kuration when…

  • You need to FIND prospects, not just enrich existing ones
  • Your sources are unstructured: event pages, PDFs, Maps, registries, native-language sites
  • You work in offline-first markets where leads aren't in any provider DB
  • You'd rather brief an agent than build a workflow
  • You need multi-language extraction Clay providers don't support

Key differences

Discovery vs enrichment

Clay is built for enriching lists you already have, through a marketplace of 150+ providers. Kuration discovers those lists in the first place — from live event pages, Google Maps, PDFs, and government registries.

Workflow builder vs research agent

Clay gives you a spreadsheet + workflow builder you compose yourself. Kuration gives you a research agent you brief in one sentence.

Indexed vs unindexed sources

Clay's strength is connecting indexed APIs. Kuration's strength is reading unindexed sources — sponsor PDFs, trade-show floor plans, Arabic-language registries, Google Maps categories.

Multi-language coverage

Clay's coverage is provider-bound and English-first. Kuration extracts natively in 12+ languages (Arabic, Mandarin, Korean, Spanish, French, Portuguese…), reading registries directly in-script.

“We 2×'d our qualified calls in 60 days. The event data alone was worth it.”
