Clearbit Pricing 2026: Real Cost After HubSpot Acquisition

Clearbit has joined HubSpot and is no longer sold as a standalone product: clearbit.com now only says Clearbit has joined HubSpot and shows no pricing. HubSpot states that data enrichment is included in all paid plans with its Smart CRM at no additional cost, and that it does not consume HubSpot Credits. The old 'Breeze Intelligence add-on at $45/month' pricing is no longer documented by HubSpot, so the real cost is the HubSpot subscription you need.

✓ Pick clearbit if

You're already on a paid HubSpot plan and want native enrichment in HubSpot workflows
Your data needs are firmographic + technographic at low-medium volume

✕ Skip if

You're NOT on HubSpot - you would have to adopt a paid HubSpot subscription just to get enrichment
You need phone numbers - HubSpot's enrichment pages don't document them, so check before you buy or add a dedicated tool

What Clearbit actually costs (no public price list)

Clearbit ships 1 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.

Clearbit standalone is no longer sold (it has joined HubSpot)
Data enrichment is included in all paid plans with HubSpot's Smart CRM
No additional cost, and it does not consume HubSpot Credits
Smart properties and the Data Agent do consume HubSpot Credits

There is no standalone Clearbit plan any more. To use the underlying enrichment, you need a paid HubSpot subscription (Starter, Professional or Enterprise depending on the Hub).

Why these tiers exist - full plan breakdown

Status: Clearbit has joined HubSpot and is no longer sold as a standalone product. clearbit.com shows no pricing. According to HubSpot, data enrichment is included in all paid plans with HubSpot's Smart CRM at no additional cost, and it does not consume HubSpot Credits.

HubSpot data enrichment (ex-Clearbit / Breeze Intelligence)

Price: no separate price · Credits: enrichment does not consume HubSpot Credits

Included in paid HubSpot plans (availability depends on the Hub: Starter, Professional or Enterprise)
Native HubSpot integration (a paid HubSpot subscription is required)
Smart properties and the Data Agent do consume HubSpot Credits

What to watch: the real cost is the HubSpot subscription itself. Earlier articles (including older versions of this page) quoted a '$45/month for 100 Breeze credits' add-on: HubSpot no longer documents it, so we do not present it as a current price. Pricing for the HubSpot plans themselves depends on the Hub and the tier you pick: check hubspot.com.

Credits

How Clearbit credits work

Clearbit bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.

Unused HubSpot Credits Expire each usage period

Hidden costs

What the Clearbit quote leaves out

Things Clearbit's pricing page doesn't put in big type.

HubSpot REQUIRED - no standalone access

Clearbit is no longer sold on its own: clearbit.com only says Clearbit has joined HubSpot and shows no pricing. Data enrichment is now a feature of paid HubSpot plans (Starter, Professional or Enterprise depending on the Hub). To use it, you must adopt a paid HubSpot subscription, and that subscription is the real cost.

ALL free Clearbit tools SHUT DOWN April 2024

Clearbit Connect (Chrome ext), TAM Calculator, Weekly Visitor Report, free Slack integration - all discontinued April 30, 2024. The historical free tier was completely removed. Enrichment now requires a paid HubSpot plan.

Phone numbers: not documented

HubSpot's data enrichment pages do not mention phone number reveals, so we can't confirm them. Check with HubSpot before you buy; if phone numbers matter, plan for a dedicated tool.

Standalone API: not documented

The historical Clearbit APIs are no longer sold as a standalone product, and HubSpot's data enrichment pages do not describe an equivalent API. Dev-led teams should confirm API access with HubSpot before committing.

HubSpot Credits do not roll over

Enrichment itself does not consume HubSpot Credits, but smart properties and the Data Agent do, and unused HubSpot Credits expire at the end of each usage period. The older '100 credits add-on' described in earlier articles is no longer documented by HubSpot.

Clearbit vs alternatives

How Clearbit stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.

Detailed comparison + cost-per-action breakdown

For teams that used Clearbit before the acquisition, the transition is jarring. Here’s a direct comparison:

Feature	Standalone Clearbit (pre-2024)	HubSpot data enrichment (2026)
CRM dependency	None - worked with any stack	Paid HubSpot plan required
Free tools	Connect (Chrome), TAM Calculator, free tier	All shut down April 2024
Pricing	Public price cards	No separate price: included in paid HubSpot plans
Credits	Enrichment credits	Enrichment does not consume HubSpot Credits
Phone numbers and API	Offered	Not documented on HubSpot's enrichment pages

On paper, enrichment is now “free” once you pay for HubSpot. In practice, you cannot get it without adopting a paid HubSpot subscription, whereas the old standalone product worked with any CRM.

According to Reddit and G2 feedback, the most common frustration among former Clearbit users is the loss of CRM flexibility. Teams on Salesforce, in particular, report that moving to HubSpot enrichment is essentially a decision to adopt HubSpot, not just to buy an enrichment add-on.

The verdict

Should you buy Clearbit? Our verdict

Pick clearbit if…

You're already on a paid HubSpot plan and want native enrichment in HubSpot workflows
Your data needs are firmographic + technographic at low-medium volume
You can amortize HubSpot stack cost across CRM + marketing + sales motion

Skip clearbit if…

You're NOT on HubSpot - you would have to adopt a paid HubSpot subscription just to get enrichment
You need phone numbers - HubSpot's enrichment pages don't document them, so check before you buy or add a dedicated tool
You need a standalone API - it is not documented on HubSpot's enrichment pages
You used old standalone Clearbit - the pricing/flexibility regression is dramatic

Pick Derrick instead if…

You want CRM-agnostic enrichment in a web app or in Google Sheets from €20/month (no HubSpot lock-in)
You want credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan
You want phone + email alongside firmographic enrichment

Try Derrick free →

For teams deeply embedded in HubSpot’s ecosystem, HubSpot’s built-in data enrichment is a natural enrichment layer: it is included in paid plans at no additional cost, and it does not consume HubSpot Credits.

For everyone else, the calculus has shifted sharply. What was once a flexible, CRM-agnostic enrichment API has become a feature that only exists inside a paid HubSpot subscription, with no standalone price and no documented phone or API access.

Teams evaluating enrichment tools for the first time - or migrating away from the old standalone Clearbit - should weigh the full cost honestly, including the HubSpot subscription required to access it.

How much does Clearbit cost in 2026?

Clearbit no longer has a price of its own. According to HubSpot, data enrichment is included in all paid plans with HubSpot's Smart CRM at no additional cost, and it does not consume HubSpot Credits. The real cost is therefore the HubSpot subscription you need (Starter, Professional or Enterprise depending on the Hub). Older articles quoting a '$45/month for 100 Breeze credits' add-on describe an offer that HubSpot no longer documents.

Does Clearbit still have a free plan?

No. All free Clearbit tools were shut down on April 30, 2024: the free Platform, Clearbit Connect, TAM Calculator, Weekly Visitor Report, and free Slack integration. Breeze Intelligence now requires a paid HubSpot subscription at minimum.

Do Clearbit credits expire?

Enrichment itself no longer uses credits: HubSpot states that data enrichment does not consume HubSpot Credits. Other credit-based features (smart properties, the Data Agent) do, and unused HubSpot Credits expire at the end of each usage period. By comparison, Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan.

Can I use Clearbit without HubSpot?

No. Clearbit has joined HubSpot and is no longer sold on its own: data enrichment is a feature of paid HubSpot plans. If you use another CRM, you need a separate enrichment tool.

Does Clearbit provide phone numbers?

We can't confirm it: HubSpot's data enrichment pages do not mention phone numbers. Check with HubSpot before buying. For phone numbers, Derrick finds them at 200 credits each (about €0.40 at the STANDARD rate).

What happened to the Clearbit API?

The historical Clearbit APIs (Enrichment API, Logo API, Prospector API) are no longer sold as a standalone product since the HubSpot acquisition, and HubSpot's data enrichment pages do not describe an equivalent API. Confirm API access with HubSpot before committing. Derrick offers a REST API from the PLUS plan (€47.50/month).

What's the best Clearbit alternative for teams not using HubSpot?

For teams outside the HubSpot ecosystem, Derrick offers comparable firmographic and contact enrichment in a web app, in Google Sheets, through an MCP server (Claude, ChatGPT) and via a REST API, with credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan and plans from €20/month.
