Switch from Clay?

Clay rewards investment of time. Leafer rewards focus: same outcome, less infrastructure to babysit.

  • Document your Clay column logic (enrichment + scoring + filtering)
  • Map each column to a Leafer setting: ICP weights + scoring threshold + compliance rules
  • Disconnect Clay after 7 days of Leafer running in parallel

Founders moving from Clay say they got back 4-6 hours/week previously spent maintaining Clay workflows.
