Warmly gives you Clearbit data enrichment and replaces Clearbit Enrich, Reveal & Prospector products now lost after the HubSpot acquisition.
The go-to-market space is clearly undergoing a transformation. What were once best-in-class tools are becoming all-in-one suites (ZoomInfo is a perfect example).
Then, there are the acquisitions. Salesloft bought Drift. Leadfeeder merged with Echobot to become Dealfront. And, of course, HubSpot acquired Clearbit.
Clearbit used to be a seriously compelling offering, for both SMBs and enterprise companies. Not only did it have some of the best quality B2B data coverage around, but it provided a tonne of flexibility in using that data effectively.
The HubSpot acquisition has resulted in some fundamental changes. What was once a first-class, comprehensive, SMB-friendly GTM tool is now practically an empty shell: a HubSpot-only add-on focused only on data enrichment.
Ultimately, if you’re not on HubSpot, Clearbit probably isn’t going to be a great solution for you going forward. Aside from the limited integration, Clearbit has lost a tonne of tools during the acquisition, like Clearbit Prospector and Clearbit Reveal—both of which were top solutions.
So, you need an alternative. And Warmly can effortlessly fill that gap.
We're not just talking about all the tools you get with Warmly that Clearbit no longer offers (website deanonymization, intent signal data, fully integrated prospecting solutions, etc.).
We've put flexibility at the heart of Warmly; with next-level integrations, integrating Warmly into your existing tech stack is effortless.
Our philosophy is revenue orchestration. Not just data enrichment. (But we do that really well, too.)
Here's a summary of how Warmly and Clearbit compare in terms of all the key features you expect from a sales orchestration platform.
But we also threw in a few features of our own that Clearbit doesn’t offer...
Now, let's dive into exactly how these two solutions work, and why Warmly is the obvious choice for SMBs looking for a total sales orchestration package.
Clearbit has been around since 2015 and is known in the GTM game as one of the best B2B data providers. But it never really got to building out workflows or providing any actionable way for sales and marketing teams to use that data.
However, Clearbit was still a top-of-the-range GTM solution. The Clearbit Enrich API was super developer-friendly, allowing you to enrich any existing database or CRM (not just HubSpot). They also provided some great API documentation to help you get the most out of it.
Additionally, their Prospector tool was really valuable in that you could throw it a company domain, and it would spit out a full list of emails and firmographic details for the buying committee.
They also offered some great free GTM tools, like the TAM calculator and the Weekly Visitor Report, a basic and limited version of their Reveal product (website visitor identification), which were massively valuable for SMBs.
But everything about Clearbit has changed since it was acquired by HubSpot.
Clearbit Prospector has disappeared. So has Reveal. All of the free GTM tools have gone, or you must be a HubSpot customer to take advantage of them.
Not only have powerful tools been removed from the lineup, but their pricing has become seriously opaque—another factor that will put SMBs off.
On the other hand, Warmly is a purpose-built GTM tool for SMBs with all of the features that Clearbit lacks and even more powerful integrations.
If you were once an avid user of Clearbit's tools, then Warmly can accomplish everything Clearbit used to—and more.
Since the acquisition, Clearbit has been a shell of its former self. And, it's put HubSpot front and center. Even to get started with their free version (which is now extremely difficult to locate), you must connect your HubSpot account.
Clearbit Enrich is now the only advertised feature, and what was once a really clear and detailed pricing model is now hidden behind a sales demo.
In short, unless you’re using HubSpot and just need Clearbit to enrich your CRM, you’ll need to jump ship.
Given the number of tools that simply don't exist anymore, this is going to be a pretty short Clearbit feature summary.
Clearbit Reveal was a feature that allowed you to deanonymize website visitors. It would find and match a user’s IP address against a company name, so it could tell you, “Someone from [X Company] is on your website.”
Post-acquisition, that feature has gone. And with Clearbit Reveal gone, so too is the free Clearbit Weekly Visitor Report, which would give you ~30 deanonymized visitors a week for free.
Clearbit Prospector is another one of Clearbit’s solid features that appears to have now been discontinued.
What you could do with Prospector is give it a company domain and it would fire back a list of all contacts they have for that domain, plus the firmographic details that Clearbit Enrich provides.
Once again, though, that feature is out the window with the HubSpot acquisition.
Enrich is the only tool in Clearbit’s previous feature set still on offer. The caveat is that you now need to be a HubSpot user to take advantage of it.
This feature essentially enriches any B2B database you have (now only your HubSpot CRM) with lead, contact, and account data such as:
Previously, you could plug Enrich into your CRM (HubSpot or not), and it would give you all the necessary information to target a specific account.
Clearbit Enrich still does this, but you need to be a HubSpot customer. It's basically become a CRM enrichment solution for the HubSpot CRM—not that handy for any teams that aren't using HubSpot.
Sure, HubSpot's acquisition of Clearbit brings some promise to existing HubSpot users. We should see Clearbit better integrated into the HubSpot sales and marketing tools, which provide the workflow tooling that Clearbit always missed out on.
Unfortunately, what it does mean is that for anyone not on HubSpot, Clearbit probably won't invest in ongoing development and support.
We built Warmly to be the only GTM tool you'll ever need to identify in-market buyers visiting your website, conduct personalized and signal-based outreach, and get qualified prospects speaking to your sales reps.
It's full revenue orchestration, across the entire buyer journey. From the moment a prospect lands on your website, to chatbot interactions, and outreach across multiple channels.
We leverage the best of machine solutions (analyzing and reacting to data in real time) and human solutions (engaging with leads and building relationships) and combine the two to create a fully integrated revenue orchestration solution.
So, while AI can handle qualifying people who land on your site and engage with them via chatbot, a real sales rep can take over at any time (and we provide alerts when prospects are hot, so your sales reps only spend their valuable time on the best opportunities.)
How do we do all of this? With powerful, best-in-class data integrations. One of these inputs is Clearbit—I'd be remiss if we didn’t mention that they have some seriously good contact data—but, crucially, it's not the only one.
We also pull in data from sources like 6sense and third-party buyer intent data from Bombora. We call this a data waterfall approach: integrating all possible signal data to give you improved accuracy and confidence in the quality of leads.
With better-quality lead data, you can orchestrate powerful omnichannel outreach campaigns that target the right buyer at the right time.
Warmly's visitor deanonymization tool fills the gap left by Clearbit Reveal. Like Clearbit used to, we reveal 65% of companies that visit your website. But we also go a step further, providing contact-level data, not just company-level.
So, Warmly can reveal 15% of the actual people who are visiting your website—a far more valuable data point for your reps. With accurate, enriched, contact-level data synced to your CRM, you can immediately start developing outreach campaigns that go to the right people.
To help you reach out at the right time, you can assign specific sales reps to particular leads, based on demographic, firmographic, or third-party intent filters. Then, that sales rep will receive a Slack notification (plus a voice alert) when a prospect that matches filters arrives on your site, allowing you to engage directly.
Plus, we can direct you to the buying committee at each account. So, if a marketing manager lands on your site's pricing page, but our data suggests that X Sales Lead is actually the person you need to talk to, we'll tell you that.
Clearbit is one of the data sources we use to deanonymize website visitors, but we combine it with several other sources to corroborate and expand data availability (we call it our data waterfall approach—more on that below.)
Ultimately, deanonymization tools are just one part of a fully optimized sales process. Combining data from multiple sources allows us to be more confident in qualifying leads and enables your sales reps to concentrate their valuable time on only the best.
While there are a few things wrong with Clearbit's offering now, chief among these is their limited data points.
While their API might be super accurate in giving you account-level info on who is on your site—it offers over 100 B2B data points—these are all limited to company-level info.
In the age of the dark funnel, you must reach out as soon as someone is ready to buy. No waiting around and no wasting time on accounts that just aren't the right fit.
Unfortunately, doing so requires more data than your visitor's Facebook profile, their GitHub blog, and what tech their company is currently using.
While these data points can be relevant when qualifying prospects (Warmly integrates Clearbit data because we know it's valuable), ultimately, more signals = better selling.
So, Warmly integrates best-in-class data including website intent (from Bombora and 6sense), chatbot conversations, website visits, demographic data and firmographic data, email engagement, job change data, and existing CRM data to give you a full picture of each lead and how ready they are to buy.
We can plug into whatever CRM you’re using, including HubSpot and other popular options like Salesforce and Pipedrive, so you're not limited by your existing tech stack (something that can't be said for Clearbit now.)
Layering multiple data points like this from multiple vendors gives you greater accuracy and better coverage across intent signals. And, it means you don't have to fork out on multiple tools to access all the data that might be available—Warmly gives you it all in one package.
Warmly takes a more action-based approach to prospecting, combining the innate power of AI with your human sales reps to make prospecting more efficient and effective.
To start with, we've already enriched your CRM and sales engagement tools with best-in-class company, contact, and intent data. We’ve revealed your website visitors (at the company and contact level) and synced them back to your tech stack as well.
Now, it's time to take action on sales workflows with our AI prospector. AI Prospector works across two channels—email and LinkedIn—so you can create truly omnichannel campaigns, finding buyers exactly where they currently are and when they're ready to buy.
But we also know that personalization wins out over the sheer quantity of leads. So, we give you the option to manually configure outreach sequences based on segments and filters, allowing you to target specific opportunities.
Thanks to Warmly's extensive data waterfall solution, you always know that you're getting the right amount of data to qualify prospects naturally, whether you're using automation to create messages or want your sales reps to take over at any point.
Our automated email prospecting tool syncs with all of your typical email automation solutions: Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, and HubSpot. No matter what you're using, it takes just a few clicks to integrate Warmly and start setting up automated email campaigns.
Warmly will naturally take all of those intent signals we've already mentioned and use them to target only the most relevant and high-intent contacts in your CRM.
With segmenting and filters, you can create different campaigns based on where your prospects are in their buying journey or on other information, such as demographic or firmographic data.
Our AI tool is contextually aware, meaning it gathers information from signals, previous conversations, your CRM, and contact and account-level data. It also knows if a contact is already in a sequence and avoids reaching out in a new campaign.
Selling today is about meeting buyers at multiple touchpoints. It's not enough to simply reach out by email—you should also target them on LinkedIn (and, though it may sound old-school, even pick up the phone now and again.)
To help you accomplish omnichannel outreach campaigns, Warmly also integrates with Salesflow to allow you to automate LinkedIn outreach.
Set up workflows directly within Warmly, targeting contacts by demographic and firmographic data, and then leave Salesflow to connect with relevant prospects and send outreach messages.
One thing that Clearbit never got to building out was a chat solution. But they integrated well with popular solutions like Drift, and obviously, now that they are part of HubSpot, they’ll obviously be using the existing tool there.
With Warmly, you get visitor deanonymization tools and outreach solutions as well as an integrated chatbot for your website.
Our chatbot offers three different solutions, which can all be tailored to specific segments of your ICP so that each prospect gets the right solution at the right moment.
With each option, you can set up Slack notifications for a sales rep, enabling them to take over in chat at any time.
Our Inbound Chat Workflows are personalizable, decision-tree-style workflows for low-intent leads, so your sales reps don't have to respond to every query.
The chatbot is customer-led, so customers have a few options for responses that guide them towards the actions you want them to take.
By tailoring different workflows to specific segments of your ICP, you can create unlimited options for your website visitors. And, as with all Warmly solutions, you'll get best-in-class intent data to help you categorize visitors and send them to the right options.
Our AI Chat solution is adaptive and contextually aware, consolidating signals across first- and third-party data sources to interact with your website visitors.
AI Chat emulates human speech, so most visitors won't even realize they're speaking to a chatbot.
With Warmly's live video chat, sales reps can jump on live calls with prospects when they're on your site—so you never miss the chance to engage with a high-intent lead.
With our 360-degree Prospect View, you can analyze which pages prospects are clicking on, and receive an intent score that tells you how warm that lead is.
Then, the next time the prospect is browsing your site, you'll get a Slack notification, allowing you to hop on a live video call in real time.
B2B selling today is about meeting the right buyer, at the right time, with the right messaging. And with Warmly's live video chat, you can do that.

Since HubSpot’s acquisition, Clearbit’s pricing model has become a bit murky. As of writing, there isn't any specific pricing info on their website.
That said, our previous intel tells us that Clearbit pricing is credit-based. Your plan gives you a number of credits to use (say, $275 for 1,000), and different actions you take in the platform use up various amounts of credits.
Warmly’s pricing structure is much more straightforward (and cost-effective for SMBs.)
We offer a free version (which you can get started with in minutes). A step up from that is the Startup plan, from $700 a month, followed by the Business plan at $1,200 a month. We also have an Enterprise plan, for which we’ll build you a custom pricing package.

Before HubSpot acquired Clearbit, their free plan was a core part of their offering. Now, it's hidden beneath the expensive, enterprise-level paid account options.
Clearbit's free GTM tools (the Weekly Visitor Report and the Total Addressable Market Calculator) have also disappeared from its lineup, which is a shame as they offered smaller sales teams accessible insights.
If you manage to find the information about the free version of Clearbit, you'll find that it doesn't offer great value.
Clearbit free users only have the option to see 50 website visitors—and only at the account level.
Warmly's free plan, on the other hand, offers teams a whole suite of features—and you can get started with it without speaking to a sales rep.
You can get up to 500 website visitors revealed and enriched per month (including contact and account-level data), plus access to Bombora intent signals—up to 10 a week—to help your sales teams qualify prospects more efficiently.
Case study: How Inbox Pirates closed a 4-figure deal in just 2 weeks on Warmly’s free plan.
Warmly is designed and built specifically to help small and medium-sized businesses access the kind of sales orchestration that enterprise organizations achieve. We bring you a huge variety of signals—more than Clearbit—across website visitor intelligence, contact-level data, intent signals, and job change data, then combine it with automation to make it easier for your sales reps to engage with the right people.
Clearbit has historically been a good option for mid-market and enterprise companies, particularly those with developer-heavy GTM teams motivated to plug a sales intelligence API into their own custom tech stack.
It simply doesn't make sense for SMBs to use Clearbit unless they're already using HubSpot and have a huge budget for their tech stack.
Onboarding time varies a lot based on factors like how engaged sales reps and customer support are, as well as the level of technicality and scale of your current tech stack features. For Clearbit, onboarding usually takes a few weeks.
At Warmly, we're a bit more agile than that—you can get started in just 20 minutes. The first step is simple: add a script tag to your website. Then, start revealing all those warm, juicy leads.
Case study: How Pump closed $20,000 in the first week with Warmly.
The obvious one for Clearbit is its integration with HubSpot. However, they also offer some great integrations with B2B software platforms like Segment, Marketo, and Slack.
Warmly integrates with a wide variety of solutions, from sales engagement platforms like Outreach and Salesloft to CRM tools like Salesforce and HubSpot, as well as the likes of Slack and LinkedIn.
Clearbit doesn’t really share any data as the kind of return on investment you can expect from them.
While the ROI you’ll see from Warmly can vary based on your specific use case, we can share that we’ve had customers become ROI-positive in a matter of months (and often just weeks).

Data consolidation is of vital importance for SMBs. You just can't have multiple solutions when one could do the same thing.
And when that one solution allows you total flexibility and demand capture opportunities across the entire sales funnel? Well, even better.
Warmly and Clearbit may offer overlapping features and shared use cases, but ultimately, after its acquisition, Clearbit just isn't an appealing offer anymore.
Conversely, Warmly is a purpose-built revenue orchestration platform for SMBs. We give you best-in-class data across infinite signals and combine it with automation possibilities to help your sales teams sell better.
