What is the best CRM for Clay users?

SalesCrew ranks first on this page's criteria. Clay rows reach its data bank through Clay's HTTP API column or a CSV export, and SalesCrew runs the cadences, inbox and pipeline on those records. Core is $299 a month with unlimited seats.

Which CRMs does Clay integrate with?

Clay lists Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Dynamics 365, ActiveCampaign, Close and Attio among its CRM integrations on clay.com/integrations, as of September 2026. SalesCrew takes Clay data in through Clay's HTTP API column or a CSV.

Will a Clay push overwrite fields my team edited?

No. SalesCrew's data bank matches on email and fills empty fields only, so a rep's edits stay. Each import carries a batch tag and an audit row, so you can see which Clay run added what.

Do I need a Clay seat and a CRM seat for every rep?

Clay lists unlimited seats on all plans and meters usage by actions and data credits. SalesCrew also includes unlimited seats, from $299 a month, so neither tool charges you per rep.

Why isn't Dynamics 365 or ActiveCampaign ranked?

Both appear on Clay's integration list. This page ranks CRMs whose seat model we read on the vendor's own pricing page in September 2026, and those two were outside that check.

How we ranked CRMs for Clay

You build lists in Clay, so what the CRM does after the push carries 40% of the score: matching rules, suppression and sending from the same records.

The Clay connection counts for 30%, from a native action to an HTTP column. Seat cost counts for the last 30%, because Clay itself doesn't charge per seat.

Clay facts come from clay.com, and CRM seat models from each vendor's pricing page, read in September 2026. Disclosure: SalesCrew is our product, and the weights came before scoring.

Each CRM, and where it fits

SalesCrew

Disclosure: SalesCrew is our product. Clay rows land in your own database with a batch tag. You filter them, publish them into segments, and cadences send from your mailbox pool with suppression checked twice. Core is $299 a month with unlimited seats.

HubSpot

Clay syncs HubSpot companies and contacts inside Clay tables. HubSpot's free CRM covers 2 users, and paid Sales Hub plans are priced per seat.

Salesforce

Clay can create and update Salesforce records and read its reports and views. Salesforce prices per user, from $25 a month on Starter Suite billed annually.

Pipedrive

Clay creates, updates and looks up Pipedrive people and organisations by identifying fields. Pipedrive runs from $14 to $79 per seat a month.

Attio

Attio appears on Clay's integration list. Its free plan covers up to 3 seats, which suits a small team testing a Clay-to-CRM flow.

Close

Close appears on Clay's integration list. Close prices per user on every plan, from $9 a month on Solo billed annually.

How to choose a CRM for Clay

Decide which system owns a contact. If Clay overwrites the CRM on every run, a rep's fix disappears. SalesCrew fills only empty fields, matched on email, so your team's edits survive.

Think about where the sequence runs. Clay finds and enriches; something still has to send and catch the replies. SalesCrew does both, with a shared inbox across every connected mailbox.

Keep the seat math flat. Clay doesn't charge per seat, and neither does SalesCrew, so your whole team works both tools for one predictable bill.
