SalesRipe vs Clearbit:
a Quick Overview

Clearbit is by no means the only B2B lead generation platform in the market; there are a plethora of other tools that B2B marketers and business owners can tap on, including SalesRipe. In this comparison guide, we walk you through the pros and cons of SalesRipe vs Clearbit, and discuss how they stack up against each other.

SalesRipe And Clearbit:
Company Background

Firstly, Clearbit bills itself as “the marketing data engine for customer interactions”; its goal is to help businesses grow by providing tools that help them deeply understand their customers and identify future prospects. Clearbit was founded back in 2015, and 400,000+ customers use Clearbit everyday.

SalesRipe, on the other hand, is an easy-to-use lead generation platform that provides targeted business and consumer sales leads. Where Clearbit wears multiple hats, SalesRipe is laser-targeted on helping business owners connect to their ideal customers. Like Clearbit, SalesRipe was founded in 2015, and it’s used by the world’s most prestigious and reputable companies, including Amazon, Google, Adobe, Oracle, and Dell.

SalesRipe Pricing vs Clearbit Pricing

When it comes to pricing, it’s clear that SalesRipe is more affordable than Clearbit.

SalesRipe offers three different plans, including a Basic plan that costs $49/month, a Plus plan that costs $79/month, and an Ultimate plan that will set you back by $129/month. If you’re a larger company looking for a fully customized solution, there’s also an Enterprise plan that’s available upon request.

SalesRipe’s basic plan comes with 200 credits that you can use to download 200 contacts to Excel. Your unused credits automatically roll over to the next month, and you can search for and view an unlimited number of leads.

Clearbit, on the other hand, offers different price plans for its three products — Enrichment, Prospector, and Reveal. For the purposes of this comparison, we’ll be focusing on Prospector, which is a tool that allows business owners to find B2B companies and contacts.

If you look on Clearbit’s website, you’ll realize that it doesn’t provide many details about its pricing; it simply states that a Prospector plan starts from $12,000/year, and that both monthly and yearly billing options are available. Extrapolating from the information, there’s a high chance that customers who opt for yearly billing will pay $12,000/year; if you want to be billed monthly to reduce the strain on your cash flow, you might have to fork out even more.

Let’s do the math — SalesRipe’s Basic plan costs $49/month, and that works out to be $588/year. Pit this against Clearbit’s $12,000/year, and Clearbit works out to be 1940% more expensive than SalesRipe.

Contracts And Lock-in Periods

Clearbit used to bill all their customers annually, but they’ve since switched to offering plans that are billed both monthly and annually. That said, the way their pricing is phrased leads us to believe that discounts are offered when customers choose to pay annually, and that those who want to be billed monthly will have to pay a premium.

If you’re running a huge company, and you know that you definitely need to get your hands on a few thousand B2B leads every month, then this wouldn’t be a problem for you. But if you’re running a smaller business and/or you’re still experimenting and figuring things out, then it obviously wouldn’t make sense to commit to using Clearbit for 12 months straight.

On top of that, also consider that entrepreneurs running smaller or new businesses need to be careful about their cash flow. Always prepare for the unexpected — you might think that you can pay off a $12,000 invoice and have just enough to get by, but what happens if one of your biggest customers delays their payment to you in the same month? All of a sudden, you might not have enough to finance your sales team’s payroll, and if that happens, business will grind to a halt.

The bottom line? As a small business, you don’t want to commit yourself to long-term contracts with vendors unless absolutely necessary. At SalesRipe, we understand the position you’re in, and to support all the small and medium enterprises out there, SalesRipe designs all its plans to be contract-less, meaning that our clients can cancel at any time. Furthermore, you don’t get a penalty for choosing to pay on a monthly basis; as a strict rule of thumb, we bill all our clients per month instead of per year, so as to provide them with more flexibility.

Number Of B2B Contacts

Clearbit’s database is where it shines — the company’s database consists of 395 million contacts spanning 20 million companies in 165 countries. On the other hand, SalesRipe’s database features over 200 million consumer and 20 million business leads from across the world. SalesRipe also lets you filter your business leads using 30+ different criteria, including:

Geographic: State, County, City, Zip Code, Country
Industry: SIC Code, Industry Type
Size: Sales Volume, Number of Employees
Title: Contact Title, Contact Level, Contact Job Function
Other Filters: Technologies Used at Business, Landline vs Mobile Phone Numbers, One Contact per Company vs Multiple, Presence of URL and Exclusions

Here, it’s worth noting that SalesRipe guarantees the accuracy of its data (90% accurate on average), while Clearbit does not. Many lead generation platforms do feature statistics about their accuracy on their website, so we’re not quite sure why Clearbit chooses to keep silent in this particular area.

SalesRipe vs Clearbit:
Which Is A Better Fit For Your Company?

If you’re a firm believer in the “more is more” adage, and your key criteria in choosing a lead generation tool is the number of contacts that it offers you, then your choice is simple — go for Clearbit.

That said, if you’re looking for a tool that provides you with the most value and bang for the buck, then we’d say that SalesRipe is a better choice instead. While SalesRipe’s database in smaller than that of Clearbit, 20 million leads still makes for a pretty sizeable database, and there’s no chance that you’ll run out of leads or prospects to contact when using SalesRipe.

On top of that, also keep in mind the fact that a basic plan at SalesRipe goes for just $49/month, meaning that SalesRipe works out to be 1940% more expensive than SalesRipe. Unless you’re a heavily funded company, and you have more money than you know what to do with, Clearbit’s exorbitant pricing ($12,000 per year onwards) will definitely prove to be a deterrent.
