Landbase vs Clay in 2026

Every billed row meets every condition

Landbase's own benchmark puts its lists at 76.7% precision and Clay's at 47.9%: on a 1,000 row list, 233 or 521 rows that miss a stated criterion. On SpecStream a row that fails one of your conditions is not delivered and not billed, so the rows you pay for are the rows that meet the request.

Before anything runs, SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit: the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back. For any row, get_find_decisions returns each condition's answer with its reason, the value, the source and the time it was read.

Read from the live web for each request

Landbase searches the database it holds, and Clay calls the providers you chain. SpecStream searches the live web for each request, reads each page and joins what it finds into one row per account, with the buying committee. A trait that only shows on a company's own site, a job post or a press release counts as a condition like any other.

No monthly minimum

Landbase's first paid plan is $499 a month, and Clay's Launch is $185. On SpecStream you start with $10 of credit and no card, then pay 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone. 1,000 accounts with the committee cost $150, plus 5¢ for each email, and every request gets a quote of the most it can cost before it runs.

Bring the list you already have from Landbase or Clay

Export the list from Landbase or Clay as a CSV and import up to 20,000 rows. Import is free. SpecStream matches each row to one identity, with any namesakes shown beside their evidence, and fills in or checks it. A row that matches pays its rate, and a row that does not costs 5¢. A saved request then reruns hourly to yearly, and new matches land in your CRM with no code. Rates are on pricing.

The rows land in your CRM and rerun on your schedule.

ZoomInfo

A company and contact database of 500M contacts and 100M companies by its own count, sold by contract. Vendr reports a median buyer pays $33,500 a year, and the AWS Marketplace listing sells 1 user with 2,000 bulk credits for $3,000 for 12 months. SpecStream prints its price per row and needs no contract.

Apollo

A sales database of 240M contacts and 30M companies with sequences and a dialer. Apollo's own comparison lists Basic at $49 a user a month billed yearly with 30,000 credits a year, and unused credits expire each billing cycle. SpecStream bills per delivered row, with no seats, from credit that never expires.
