Clay users' biggest pains from verified G2 reviews

❌ Hard to Learn & Set Up

Clay can be overwhelming for new users. Many report a steep learning curve, especially when working with APIs, automations, and workspace structures.

❌ Expensive at Scale

The credit-based pricing model gets costly quickly as your workflows grow—without always being clear on how many credits actions will consume.

❌ No Built-In Outreach

While Clay helps with prospecting and enrichment, it doesn’t offer native outreach automation—so you’ll need to integrate and pay for extra tools.
