  Clay's published plans, read from https://www.clay.com/pricing on 2026-08-14. REPLACES a
  scaffold that invented a "1,000 API requests/month" quota Clay has never published.
  Clay does not sell API access as a separate product and publishes no API-specific plan:
  the Public API, the CLI and the MCP server all draw on the SAME workspace meters as the
  Clay UI — monthly ACTIONS and DATA CREDITS. Seats are unlimited on every tier, so the
  meter, not the seat, is the unit of cost.
plan_count: 4
currency: USD
billing_periods: [monthly, annual]
annual_discount: '10% versus monthly billing'
metering_model:
  units:
  - name: actions
    description: Workflow/automation operations run inside Clay, including routine runs driven through the API, CLI and MCP.
  - name: data credits
    description: Credits consumed when enriching a record from Clay's data providers.
  note: >-
    A Public API call is not billed as "an API request" — it is billed as the actions and
    data credits the routine or search it triggers consumes. This is why an API request
    quota does not appear anywhere in Clay's pricing.

api_access_by_plan:
  public_api: all plans (API keys are labelled beta in the Clay UI)
  cli_and_mcp: all plans (OAuth sign-in)
  tables_query: Enterprise only
  note: >-
    Clay publishes no plan gate on the Public API itself; the gate is on features (Tables)
    and on the metered actions/credits balance, which surfaces at runtime as HTTP 402.
