Enrich-CRM vs Clearbit
Clearbit was acquired by HubSpot and rebranded as HubSpot Breeze Intelligence — now locked to HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise. If you’re looking for a Clearbit alternative, here’s how Enrich-CRM compares.
Enrich-CRM — accessible, real-time, any HubSpot plan
Clearbit/Breeze — bundled with HubSpot Enterprise
⚠️ What happened to Clearbit?
HubSpot acquired Clearbit in November 2023 and renamed it HubSpot Breeze Intelligence. It’s now only available as part of HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional ($890/month) or Enterprise ($3,600/month). Former Clearbit standalone users had to migrate or find an alternative.
Choose Enrich-CRM if…
- You use HubSpot Starter or Professional (without Enterprise budget)
- You want real-time enrichment, not a stale database snapshot
- You were a former Clearbit customer looking for an accessible alternative
- You want job change detection and buying intent signals
- You also use Clay, Make, Zapier, or API
Choose Breeze Intelligence if…
- You’re already on HubSpot Marketing Hub Pro or Enterprise
- You prefer a single-vendor HubSpot-only stack
- You need form shortening and lead scoring natively inside HubSpot

🔄 What happened since the HubSpot acquisition
Before the acquisition, Clearbit was an independent API-first enrichment platform with strong B2B coverage. Since becoming Breeze Intelligence, three patterns have emerged: coverage is narrowing (the standalone Clearbit database is no longer being actively grown), customers are reporting reduced match rates post-acquisition, and the product now only works for teams already deep inside HubSpot’s paid ecosystem.
Former Clearbit API users lost their integrations. Clay users lost the native provider. Teams on HubSpot Starter or Professional were cut off. Enrich-CRM fills this gap: a focused enrichment product that works natively with HubSpot and remains open to other tools (Clay, API, CSV, Make, Zapier, n8n).
🔌 Native HubSpot, but not locked to HubSpot
Breeze Intelligence only works if you’re already on HubSpot Marketing Hub Professional ($890/month) or Enterprise ($3,600/month). If you’re on Sales Hub, Service Hub, or a lower tier, it’s simply not available — regardless of how much you pay HubSpot.
Enrich-CRM’s CRM Connector plan provides the same native HubSpot experience on all HubSpot plans — enrichment writes back directly to CRM fields, triggers from contact and company records, and maps to custom properties. And unlike Breeze, the same enrichment data is simultaneously available via API, Clay, or CSV.
⚙️ How Enrich-CRM enrichment works (vs a static database)
Clearbit/Breeze relies on an aggregated database — snapshots of company and contact data refreshed periodically. 20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year, which means a meaningful portion of any static database is stale at any given time.
Enrich-CRM performs live lookups on every request: a proprietary LLM queries Google SERP on EU servers, visits relevant public pages in logged-out mode, extracts and standardizes data in memory, and returns a structured result. Nothing stored. No US AI dependency (proprietary LLM, AWS EU Paris).

💶 Pricing reality
Breeze Intelligence is bundled inside HubSpot Marketing Hub Pro ($890/month) or Enterprise ($3,600/month). If you’re buying HubSpot for the enrichment layer, you’re paying for a massive platform when you may only need the data functionality.
Enrich-CRM starts at €75/month for the CRM Connector plan (1,700 credits, ~€0.044/enrichment) or €0 to start free with 100 credits/month. Credits-based pricing with no seat markup, no annual lock-in.
The Clearbit alternative that stays independent
Real-time enrichment, native HubSpot integration, from €0/month. No HubSpot Enterprise required.
