Using Clay Pro Without Credit: API Integration Options

·Jul 06, 2025 03:34 PM·

I would like to know if it is possible to use Clay Pro without credit, only using my own API, and still be able to use Clay smoothly

Yes, you can use Clay Pro smoothly with your own API keys without consuming Clay credits for data enrichment. When you use your own API keys for services like data enrichment tools, you pay directly to those providers and use 0 Clay credits. However, you'll need to manage individual plans and pricing tiers for each service yourself. Note that list building, prospecting, data cleaning, and CRM integrations are already free on Clay Pro. Only data enrichment typically costs credits, which you can bypass with your own API keys.

Hi Tony, thanks for your message - taking a closer look at this now. If you're looking to access pro plan features, but use your personal keys, you will still have to upgrade your plan to a pro usage tier. You can find out more about what features are available to what plan here: https://www.clay.com/pricing
