BetterContact

Waterfall enrichment that bills only valid hits

Data Enrichment

Overview

BetterContact is a waterfall enrichment API that finds and verifies B2B emails and mobile phone numbers by querying 20+ data providers in sequence behind a single subscription. It stops at the first verified match and only charges when the data passes its checks, so you pay for usable records rather than wasted lookups. The product is built to slot into prospecting stacks, with native hooks for Clay, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and a REST API. It is a focused enrichment layer, not a full prospecting database or sales engagement tool.

  • →Clay users who need a high-coverage waterfall step inside their tables

The honest take

Where it breaks

BetterContact enriches contacts you bring; it has no native prospecting database, no intent or buying signals, and integrations are thin beyond HubSpot and Sheets. Large lists can be slow to process, and there is no way to cancel an enrichment run once it has started.

The verdict

BetterContact is a clean, well-priced enrichment layer for teams that want one waterfall API instead of stitching together several vendors, and the pay-for-valid model keeps spend honest. It pairs especially well with Clay and existing prospecting tools, but it is a building block rather than a full GTM platform. Choose it for coverage and cost efficiency, not for finding net-new accounts or signals.

FAQ

What is waterfall enrichment?

It queries multiple data providers in an optimized sequence and stops at the first verified match, instead of relying on any single source. This typically lifts match rates above what one provider can deliver alone.

Do I pay for results that aren't found or verified?

No. BetterContact charges only when a record passes its verification checks. Invalid or unfound lookups are not billed, so credits map to usable data.

How do credits work?

One credit covers a verified email, and a verified mobile phone number costs about ten credits. Plans range from 200 credits on Starter to 50,000 on higher Pro tiers, with rollover.

Does it work with Clay?

Yes. BetterContact offers a native Clay integration and is commonly used as a high-coverage enrichment provider inside Clay tables, alongside HubSpot, Zapier, and Google Sheets.

Can it find net-new prospects?

No. It enriches contacts you already have or feed in. You still need a separate source or database to build the initial list of people and companies.
