No, importing companies into Clay is completely free! List building and prospecting don't cost credits. [1]
You only pay credits for data enrichment - like finding contact information, revenue data, or other firmographic details about those companies. [2] The actual import/prospecting from sources like LinkedIn, Google Maps, CRMs, or websites is free. [3]
If you need any more help with understanding how credits work for importing or enriching data, I’m here to assist. Would you like to share more about what you’re trying to achieve with importing companies?
