Differences Between Clay's API Models and Custom API Keys
What's the difference between Clay's Argon, Helium, etc. Claygent models which require credits, and hooking up your own API key, besides cost? Is there a performance benefit (accuracy)?
The main differences are:1. Speed: Using Clay-managed models (Argon, Helium, etc.) is faster than using your own API key. 2. Integration: The Clay-managed account is accessible for all models by default through the enrichment panel, making it more convenient to get started. 3. Flexibility: If you're on a paid plan, you can bring your own API key for models besides Claygent, giving you more control over usage.The choice between using Clay-managed models or your own API key mainly comes down to your preferences regarding speed versus cost, as well as whether you want more direct control over your API usage.
