Clay is a sharp enrichment and research tool, but it has no deals, pipeline, quotes, or support, so you still buy a CRM on top. Laureo is an all-in-one platform that runs your whole sales process and operations, with the revenue stack and a library of AI agent templates plus a co-pilot that acts on your records through an approval queue, all on one plan budget, so costs stay predictable.
One Laureo plan covers the whole stack. Here is how the entry price lines up against Clay.
Pro, billed annually ($99.99 month-to-month)
One plan is an all-in-one platform: CRM, email campaigns, sequences, tickets, knowledge base, surveys, scheduling, quotes, invoices, team chat, and a library of AI agent templates plus an approval-queue co-pilot, so there is nothing to buy underneath it.
The $185/mo Launch tier has no CRM auto-sync, API, or webhooks; those unlock on Growth at $495/mo. The bill runs on Actions plus Data Credits, so a busy month costs more. Sign-on controls and roles are Enterprise-only.

A check means it is on the plan. “Add-on” means it costs extra or lives on a higher tier. A line means it is not available.

Clay has Claygent, a research agent you prompt to browse the web and pull data, now buildable and versionable across workflows, plus Sculptor to build workflows from a natural-language description and Navigator to read gated pages. It is strong at research on demand, versus Laureo's library of agent templates plus a co-pilot that acts on your real records through an approval queue, on a schedule or on demand.
Laureo runs six named agents instead. They work in the background, come with every plan, and share one monthly usage budget with no per-conversation fees.
Every record is isolated to your workspace, there is a full history of who changed what, files are scanned for viruses before they are stored, the AI never trains on or keeps your data, and the platform is independently security tested and verified.
