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
- The market is not inside a provider marketplace, so a waterfall has nothing to connect
- 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.”
