Credits

Clay credits are the "currency" used to run actions in Clay.

Depending on your Clay plan, you receive a set number of credits monthly or annually to enrich your workflows.

Each action's credit cost varies based on the provider and data type. While most actions are free or cost 1–2 credits, some data—like mobile phone numbers—are harder to obtain and require more credits.

You can view the credit cost for each action directly in the enrichment panel.

Credits for AI

Credit pricing varies for AI models in Use AI, with rates determined by which model you select.

• Credit costs are based on prompt and token usage.
• You can control spending by setting custom budgets for each run.

API keys

Many Clay integrations will have a provided key included. However, you can add your own API key to any integration for no additional charge.

Unused credits

If you are on a monthly plan, unused credits will roll over and accumulate in your account. The maximum accumulation is capped at double your plan's monthly credit limit.

• For example, if your plan includes 50,000 credits per month, your maximum balance would be 100,000.
• If you cancel or downgrade, your credit balance remains on your account until the end of your current billing cycle.

Refunds for invalid data

If a provider refunds us due to the inability to deliver valid data, we will correspondingly refund those credits back to you.

Credit Renewal Processing Time

When your Clay plan renews, there may be a 1-2 hour delay before credits appear in your account due to transaction processing times.

This delay occurs because our card provider needs time to process transactions. For instance, credits from a 12 PM renewal may appear around 1 PM. The 1-2 hour processing window applies to each renewal cycle based on your original billing time.

For any issues persisting beyond the standard processing window, please contact our support team.
