AgentData vs Clearbit: the free enrichment API that didn't get folded into HubSpot

Nick Timms·Reviewed by Duda Timms·Updated

Breeze if you live in HubSpot; AgentData if you want Clearbit's old job done by an API you can call from anywhere, free.

The short version

Clearbit was the enrichment API a generation of SaaS teams built on. Since HubSpot's acquisition closed in December 2023 it has become Breeze Intelligence: no independent signup, credit-priced inside a paid HubSpot subscription, and the free Logo API that half the internet used shut down on 8 December 2025. HubSpot publishes no standalone price for it. AgentData is a free enrichment API for any stack: company profile, 3,453-technology tech stack, verified emails, people and switch signals, 1,000 lookups a day, no HubSpot, no card. Verified 17 September 2026.

Founder’s take

Clearbit was good. I mean that specifically: GET /v2/companies/find?domain= returned a clean, well-named JSON object with a tech array, and you could build a product on it in an afternoon. What HubSpot bought was a very good API and what it kept was a very good HubSpot feature. If you live in HubSpot, Breeze Intelligence is probably fine. If you were one of the developers who built on Clearbit's API, or who hot-linked its logos, you've spent 2025 looking for a replacement that didn't come with a CRM attached. AgentData is our attempt at that: the same shape of answer, plus verified people, free, for any stack.

The verdict

AgentDataChoose AgentData if you…
  • want an enrichment API you can call from any stack, not a HubSpot feature
  • built on Clearbit's Company API and want the same fields plus a real tech stack
  • need verified emails and people with the company record
  • want it free: no HubSpot subscription, no credits, 1,000 lookups a day
  • lost the free Logo API and want a replacement path
ClearbitChoose Clearbit if you…
  • run your GTM inside HubSpot and want enrichment written straight to CRM properties
  • want buyer-intent signals from HubSpot's network
  • want form shortening on HubSpot forms
  • already pay for HubSpot Professional or above and have unused HubSpot Credits

One company, two responses

Clearbit's standalone API documentation is no longer public (dashboard.clearbit.com/docs redirects to a login as of 17 September 2026), so we show the fields Clearbit's Company API was known for, from its published documentation before the acquisition, and what AgentData returns today.

Clearbit Company API (legacy, pre-acquisition documentation)
{
  "name": "Stripe", "legalName": "Stripe, Inc", "domain": "stripe.com",
  "category": { "sector": "Financials", "industryGroup": "Banks",
                "industry": "Banks", "subIndustry": "Diversified Banks" },
  "tags": ["Payments", "FinTech"],
  "foundedYear": 2010,
  "location": "510 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA",
  "metrics": { "employees": 8000, "raised": 2200000000 },
  "tech": ["google_analytics", "stripe", "segment"]
}

The tech array was one of Clearbit's most-used fields. Today the equivalent data is exposed as HubSpot properties, not as a public JSON API for arbitrary stacks.

AgentData /api/v1/lookup?domain=stripe.com (documented, trimmed)
{
  "domain": "stripe.com",
  "company": {
    "name": "Stripe", "sector": "Financial Services & Fintech",
    "vertical": "Payments", "b2b_b2c": "b2b", "size": "large",
    "headquarters_country": "US", "email_pattern": "first.last",
    "signals": { "has_pricing_page": true, "has_api_docs": true, "has_careers_page": true }
  },
  "technologies": [
    { "name": "React", "category": "Framework", "confidence": "high" },
    { "name": "Segment", "category": "Analytics", "confidence": "high" }
  ],
  "emails": { "total": 42, "verified": 38,
    "data": [{ "email": "jane.smith@stripe.com", "title": "VP Engineering",
               "confidence": 95, "verification_status": "valid", "verified_at": "2026-09-01T10:30:00Z" }] },
  "people": { "total": 156, "data": [{ "name": "…", "title": "CTO", "seniority": "c_level" }] },
  "lookup": { "consumed": true, "remaining": 999 }
}

company.* maps onto Clearbit's company object; technologies[] is the tech array with categories and confidence; emails and people are what Clearbit's company endpoint never had.

Verified 17 September 2026. Clearbit/Breeze pricing is not published by HubSpot; figures marked † are third-party estimates (Keepsync 20 Mar 2026, Marketing Mary 25 Aug 2026, Cleanlist 14 Sep 2026) and disagree with each other; treat as indicative.

Why agent builders and growth teams pick AgentData over Clearbit

It's still an API

Clearbit's API became a HubSpot feature. Ours is a URL you can call from anything.

AgentDataGET /api/v1/lookup?domain= from Node, Python, n8n, Clay, Claude
ClearbitEnrichment happens inside HubSpot records; accessed via HubSpot's CRM APIs
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  "https://agentdata.run/api/v1/lookup?domain=stripe.com"

The tech array, with categories and confidence

The field people miss most, done properly.

AgentDatatechnologies[] with name, category, confidence; browse by technology at /tech

An MCP server for company data

HubSpot has an MCP for the CRM; there is no Clearbit data MCP. Ours is free.

AgentDataHosted MCP + npm, seven tools

Replacing the Logo API

If you hot-linked logo.clearbit.com/:domain, here's the honest path.

Pricing: AgentData vs Clearbit

There is no Clearbit price to compare because there is no Clearbit product. The honest comparison is what it costs to enrich N companies a month via Breeze inside HubSpot, versus $0.

HubSpot does not publish standalone pricing for Breeze Intelligence. It requires a HubSpot subscription (Starter from about $20 per seat; Professional about $800 a month for workflow-triggered enrichment†) and consumes HubSpot Credits beyond your tier's included allowance. Third-party estimates in 2026 range from about $45 a month per 100 credits (Keepsync, 20 Mar 2026) to about $10 per 1,000 credits (Marketing Mary, 25 Aug 2026), and one source reports standard enrichment is now credit-free under HubSpot's outcome-based pricing. Check your own HubSpot account's rate sheet. AgentData: $0 at 1,000 lookups a day.

Who moves from Clearbit to AgentData

The developer who built on Clearbit's API

You need a domain → company JSON call that works outside HubSpot. That's the whole product.

The startup that used Clearbit's free tier

It's gone. Ours is 1,000 lookups a day.

The team that hot-linked logos

Move image URLs to logo.dev per HubSpot's own advice, and use AgentData for the company data you were pairing them with.

Switching from Clearbit

  1. Export. From HubSpot, export companies with the Breeze-enriched properties; keep Company domain name.
  2. Re-enrich by domain via /api/v1/lookup or the MCP; write back the fields you need (mapping below).
  3. Decide on intent separately. If you relied on Breeze intent, keep that HubSpot feature; nothing in AgentData replaces it.

Where Clearbit fits better

  • You run on HubSpot and want enrichment on the record, triggered by workflows, no code.
  • You want buyer-intent signals from HubSpot's network.
  • You use HubSpot forms and want progressive or shortened forms fed by enrichment.
  • You have unused HubSpot Credits on a Professional or Enterprise tier.

We would rather you pick the right tool than ours for the wrong reasons.
