Best Clearbit Alternatives After the HubSpot Acquisition (2026)
Clearbit was acquired by HubSpot in late 2023. If you’re not on a HubSpot paid plan — or you want enrichment that goes beyond what HubSpot bundles — here are the best independent alternatives.

Clearbit became the go-to enrichment layer for tech-forward B2B companies in the 2018–2023 era. Its Enrichment API was elegant: pass an email or domain, get back firmographics, technographics, and contact data in milliseconds. The Reveal product identified anonymous web visitors by IP. For product-led growth teams and RevOps, Clearbit was table stakes.
What made Clearbit particularly attractive was its developer-first approach — a clean REST API, reliable uptime, and a consistent data schema that could be embedded directly into product flows. Companies used it for lead scoring, inbound routing, and enriching CRM records at the moment of form submission.
Why People Look for Alternatives Now
Since HubSpot completed the acquisition, Clearbit’s enrichment features have been progressively integrated into HubSpot’s Breeze Intelligence product. The standalone Clearbit API is being deprecated for non-HubSpot customers. Pricing has been restructured — what was once a predictable per-call API is now bundled into HubSpot plans that cost significantly more. Companies not using HubSpot, or using HubSpot but wanting richer enrichment data, are actively looking for Clearbit replacements.
European companies have an additional concern: Clearbit’s data was heavily US-centric, and HubSpot’s infrastructure does not offer EU data residency for the enrichment pipeline. For teams under GDPR scrutiny, this is a meaningful compliance gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Clearbit still available as a standalone product?
Since the HubSpot acquisition, Clearbit’s features have been migrated into HubSpot Breeze Intelligence. Independent API access is being phased out. New customers who are not on HubSpot will not have access to the original Clearbit product and should evaluate independent alternatives.
What is the best Clearbit alternative for HubSpot users?
For HubSpot users who want richer enrichment than Breeze Intelligence provides, Enrich-CRM is the strongest alternative. It connects natively to HubSpot, maps enrichment data to CRM fields, and triggers enrichment automatically within HubSpot workflows — including job change signals and intent data that HubSpot’s native enrichment does not cover.
Which Clearbit alternative has the best API?
People Data Labs offers the most Clearbit-like API experience for developer teams who want raw data access. Enrich-CRM’s API is better suited to teams who want live enrichment at query time rather than bulk database lookups — particularly useful for real-time form enrichment or CRM workflow triggers.
Does Enrich-CRM cover anonymous visitor identification like Clearbit Reveal?
Enrich-CRM focuses on contact and company enrichment rather than IP-based visitor identification. For anonymous visitor deanonymification, tools like Albacross or Leadfeeder remain dedicated alternatives. Enrich-CRM complements these by enriching the contact records once you’ve identified a visitor or received an inbound lead.
Is there a GDPR-compliant Clearbit alternative?
Yes. Enrich-CRM is built with EU data residency (AWS Paris) and processes no personal data in US infrastructure. A full DPA and sub-processor list are available. It’s the most practical Clearbit replacement for European companies that need to demonstrate GDPR compliance in their data enrichment chain.
