Can someone explain how CLAY pricing works? If I add my API key for chatgpt, do I still pay for credits? What's the point of credits then if I pay for both (my api) and credits?
Hey! If you are using your own API Keys you are not using Clay Credits! Using your own Keys is a great way to save on Clay Credits. So do not get confused, you will only use credits if you DO NOT have your own API Keys ๐
Clay is an aggregator/one access pass to 50+ data providers and their enrichment or data search services.Enrichments cost credits to run which you can see how much each one charges per search or result when you add them (cost established by the provider, and the green credit icon next to them), some will even refund the credits if they don't find data, โโ_some still charge even if they don't find anything because they consider that a cost for them too which is then transferred to Clay_โโ.If you use your own API key we won't charge you credits for that enrichment provider.
