Our take
Pick Clay if founders and GTM teams who live in a lead table and want enrichment + an agent on the same grid. Pick Dovetail if research / product teams who will stay on Free at $0 / user / month (one channel, one project, Chat) while they open a first interview grid, then talk to sales for Enterprise when they need unlimited projects, channels, and dashboards. Skip Clay if people who only need a simple mail merge,
