Google search in Clay = 1 credit per lookup (~$0.
01). For 60k companies, that's $600-720 depending on plan.
Cheaper options:
- Phantom Buster's LinkedIn scraper (if you have company names) - $0.003/search
- Manual Google search: "[company name] site:linkedin.com/company" - free but doesn't scale
- Clay's "Find Company" enrichment - tries multiple sources, only charges if it finds
Most teams doing this at scale: Use Clay's company enrichment first (free on match), then Google search as fallback. Cuts cost 40-60% since many companies auto-match.
