SalesOS vs Clay
Clay: A data and enrichment workbench with monitors and AI columns, built for custom tables.
How we differ. What SalesOS does differently.
- SalesOS is where the work runs after the data: sequences, the inbox and approvals.
- Clay can stay an input: a Clay table can send rows into SalesOS contacts and receive events back.
- SalesOS sells no data. Providers run on your own accounts and keys.
