Our take
Pick Clay if you're a founder and GTM teams who live in a lead table and want enrichment + an agent on the same grid. Pick Wellfound if you're startups who will post for $0 and only pay when they need Reach or a Job Ad. Skip Clay if you're people who only need a simple mail merge, or who cannot send prospect data to a US SaaS. Skip Wellfound if you're enterprises that need a full ATS pipeline (Manatal, Workable).
