what Clay is.
Clay is a data-enrichment platform for go-to-market teams: it pulls firmographic and contact data from dozens of providers into a spreadsheet-style table, adds AI research columns, and feeds outreach sequences. Its unit of work is the lead record — a person as a row of fields for a pipeline.
where they differ.
Soulscrape's unit of work is the person. It doesn't fill columns; it writes a dated, cited dossier on how someone decides, argues, and changes their mind — built by your agent from evidence you authorize, and publishable as a public index. Clay answers 'who should we email and what do we know about their company'; soulscrape answers 'how does this person think, and where's the evidence.'
which one fits.
choose Clay when
- You run outbound or RevOps and need enrichment at spreadsheet scale.
- You want contact data — emails, titles, firmographics — from providers.
- Your output feeds sequences, CRMs, and scoring workflows.
choose soulscrape when
- You want a model of a person's beliefs, decisions, and style — cited, dated, revisable.
- Your reader is an agent or a human who needs to understand someone, not score them.
- You want to publish the result as a remixable public index, not a private table.
- You need evidence boundaries: authorized sources only, no bypassed access, contradictions kept.
