Clearbit Review 2026: Features, Pricing, and Honest Verdict

Most people searching for a Clearbit review in 2026 are researching a product that no longer exists in the form they remember. That is the single most useful thing a Clearbit review 2026 can give you, so we are leading with it. HubSpot acquired Clearbit in late 2023, and the technology now lives inside HubSpot as Breeze Intelligence. There is no standalone Clearbit subscription to buy anymore.

If you were hoping to bolt Clearbit's enrichment onto a Salesforce or Pipedrive stack, that door is closed. The real question is no longer "is Clearbit good?" It is "is Breeze Intelligence worth it if you are already on HubSpot, and what should you use if you are not?" We build outbound systems that depend on enrichment, so we have had to answer both. Here is the straight version.

Quick Facts

What Actually Happened to Clearbit

Clearbit spent a decade as one of the cleanest data products in B2B. Excellent company enrichment, a beloved free Logo API that half the internet quietly depended on, and a reveal product that turned anonymous website visitors into named accounts. Developers liked it because the API was well built. Marketers liked it because form shortening actually lifted conversion rates.

Then HubSpot bought it in late 2023, and the sunset began. Here is the timeline that matters.

If you are a developer who came here because your logo endpoint started returning errors, that is why. If you are a marketer who read a glowing Clearbit review from 2023, the product it describes has been reassembled inside someone else's platform.

The technology itself did not get worse. It got absorbed. Whether that is good or bad for you depends entirely on one question: are you on HubSpot?

What Breeze Intelligence Does

Breeze Intelligence is Clearbit's data engine wearing HubSpot's badge, wired directly into HubSpot's CRM objects. It does four main jobs.

Contact and company enrichment. It fills in missing fields on your records: company size, industry, revenue, technologies used, job title, seniority, location. As of late 2025 this basic layer is free with any paid HubSpot seat, which quietly made it one of the better value adds in the platform.

Buyer intent. It identifies companies visiting your website and scores them against your ideal customer profile, so sales can prioritise accounts that are actively researching. This is the direct descendant of Clearbit Reveal.

Form shortening. The feature marketers loved. Ask for an email address, and Breeze fills in the company, size, and industry behind the scenes. Fewer fields, higher conversion, same data.

Smart Properties. AI-generated fields that infer attributes from your existing data and enrichment, letting you build segments that would previously have needed manual research.

The integration depth is the genuine advantage here. Because it is native, enrichment triggers on record creation, intent feeds workflows, and everything lands in the same objects your reports already run on. No middleware, no sync errors, no third-party connector to maintain. If you live in HubSpot, that is worth real money.

Pricing Breakdown

HubSpot's pricing has layers, and Breeze Intelligence sits on top of them. Here is the realistic picture at the time of writing in mid-2026.

Two things stand out. First, the entry price is genuinely low. Around $75 a month for real enrichment inside a real CRM is not an outrageous ask, and it undercuts most standalone enrichment vendors on a per-record basis.

Second, the advanced features run on HubSpot Credits, and credits are the mechanism by which platform pricing quietly grows. Buyer Intent and Smart Properties are the features people actually get excited about, and they are also the features that consume the budget. Professional and Enterprise tiers include a monthly allowance, but a team scoring a high-traffic site against intent every day will burn through it.

The number to model before you buy is not the monthly fee. It is your credit consumption at your real traffic and record volume, multiplied by twelve.

Pros and Cons

The case for Breeze Intelligence is strong if you are already a HubSpot customer. The data lineage traces back to Clearbit, which was always among the best in the category for company-level firmographics and technographics. Native integration removes an entire class of problems that plague bolt-on enrichment. Free basic enrichment on paid seats is a real, tangible improvement over the old model. And form shortening remains one of the few features that reliably lifts a conversion rate without any creative work.

The case against is equally clear. The HubSpot requirement is absolute, which turns a data purchase into a platform commitment. The standalone API and free tools that built Clearbit's reputation with developers are gone. Contact-level coverage, particularly for direct dials and personal emails, was never Clearbit's strength and it still is not, which means outbound teams will need a second source anyway. And credit-based pricing on the advanced features makes long-run cost harder to predict than a flat per-seat vendor.

Honest Verdict

Breeze Intelligence is a good product with one very large asterisk.

If you are on HubSpot Professional or Enterprise, turn it on. The basic enrichment is free, the integration is seamless, and the intent and form-shortening features are worth the credits for most marketing teams. There is no serious argument against it.

If you are on HubSpot Starter, the roughly $75 per month entry point is reasonable, but be honest with yourself about credit consumption before you build a workflow that depends on it.

If you are not on HubSpot, stop researching Clearbit. There is nothing here for you. Migrating your entire CRM to acquire an enrichment tool is a decision so backwards it barely needs arguing against, and yet we have watched teams talk themselves into it. Do not.

The broader lesson is the one worth carrying out of this review. Clearbit was a category-defining tool with a loyal following, and it still got absorbed, rebranded, and partially sunset inside two years. Every tool in your stack is one acquisition away from becoming someone else's feature.

Where LeadHaste Fits

The Clearbit story is exactly why we orchestrate rather than depend. Our system runs on more than 20 tools, and no single one of them is load-bearing. When a vendor gets acquired, changes its pricing model, or sunsets an API on 30 days notice, we swap the component and the machine keeps running. Our clients usually find out from us, not from a broken workflow.

That is also why ownership sits at the centre of what we build. The domains, the mailboxes, the warm-up history, the sender reputation: those are yours, permanently, and no acquisition can take them away. Tools are rented. Infrastructure is owned. We are very deliberate about which is which.

Clearbit Alternatives for Non-HubSpot Teams

If you are not on HubSpot, these are the tools worth your time.

Apollo is the most common landing spot. It combines a large contact database, enrichment, and a built-in sequencer at a price point that is hard to argue with. Data quality is inconsistent at the edges, but for most mid-market outbound teams it covers 80% of the need in one subscription.

Clay is the closest thing to a genuine upgrade rather than a substitute. Instead of picking one data vendor, Clay waterfalls a request across dozens of them and only charges you for the provider that returns a hit. That produces higher match rates and lower effective cost than any single source, including Clearbit at its peak. The trade-off is complexity. Clay rewards the team that invests in it and punishes the one that does not.

ZoomInfo remains the deepest US dataset, with phone numbers and intent bundled in. It is expensive, locked into annual contracts, and heavier than most teams need, but nobody gets fired for the coverage.

Cognism is the strongest option for European teams, with verified mobile numbers, notified contacts, and a compliance posture built for GDPR rather than retrofitted to it. If Clearbit's company data was your priority but Europe is your market, Cognism is where to look first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Clearbit still available in 2026?

Not as a standalone product. HubSpot acquired Clearbit in late 2023 and its capabilities now ship inside HubSpot as Breeze Intelligence. The standalone free tools were sunset on 30 April 2025 and the Logo API was sunset on 1 December 2025.

How much does Breeze Intelligence cost?

Basic contact and company enrichment is free with any paid HubSpot seat as of late 2025. Beyond that, a realistic entry point is around $75 per month, roughly $30 for a HubSpot Starter seat plus about $45 for 100 Breeze Intelligence credits on annual billing. Advanced features consume HubSpot Credits, with overages around $10 per 1,000 credits.

Can I use Breeze Intelligence without HubSpot?

No. It is a HubSpot feature, not a standalone product, and there is no way to buy or access it outside a HubSpot subscription.

What is the best Clearbit alternative?

It depends on the job. For a database plus sequencer in one tool, Apollo. For the highest match rates through waterfall enrichment, Clay. For deep US coverage with phones and intent, ZoomInfo. For European coverage and GDPR-first compliance, Cognism.
