Our take
Pick Artisan if startup outbound teams who will spend credits per enrolled lead and connect a mailbox. Pick Clay if founders and GTM teams who live in a lead table and want enrichment + an agent on the same grid. Skip Artisan if enterprises that already signed a digital-SDR SOW and will not move (11x). Skip Clay if people who only need a simple mail merge, or who cannot send prospect data to a US SaaS.
