Cost-Effective Alternatives to Clay's Waterfalls for Email Connections

·Aug 20, 2025 10:45 AM·

Hey everybody. I’m using the waterfalls supplied by Clay and its connections for work emails, but it’s awfully expensive when used on scale. Any ideas for external connections or API:s doing the same thing cheaper?
