BetterEnrich
BetterEnrich is an API-first waterfall enrichment service. You send an email or domain, it tries a sequence of providers until one returns data, and you get the enriched result. It is simpler than Clay and cheaper than running individual provider APIs yourself.
Official site ↗Why it ranks here
Strong pick for engineering teams that want waterfall enrichment without a UI or workflow builder. The API is clean, the provider list is solid, and the economics work. It does not compete with Clay on features; it competes on simplicity.
Where it sits
BetterEnrich prioritizes API simplicity and developer experience. Clay leads on workflow features and AI research. For teams embedding enrichment in custom apps or automation, BetterEnrich integrates faster.
How GTM Engineering teams use it
Engineers call the BetterEnrich API from their backend or iPaaS tool whenever a new lead enters the system. The API waterfalls across providers and returns the first good match. They log the result to Salesforce or their warehouse.
In-depth notes
Pay-as-you-go pricing with volume discounts. No UI, so non-technical users cannot self-serve. Provider coverage is good but not exhaustive. Best for teams that want to own the workflow and just need the waterfall logic as a service.

Setup
Generate an API key from the dashboard, add it to your backend or iPaaS tool, and make a test enrichment call with an email or domain.
First thing to build
Call the API from a Salesforce Flow or Zapier trigger whenever a new lead is created, enrich the email and company data, and write the results back to the CRM.
What actually matters
- Set the provider priority order in the dashboard
- Enable webhook callbacks for async enrichment jobs
- Configure fallback behavior when no provider returns data
- Log failed enrichment attempts for debugging
Watch out
Engineers call the API synchronously in user-facing flows and hit timeout errors; use async webhooks instead.
