If you’re looking for a Clearbit alternative, you’re not alone. After HubSpot acquired Clearbit in 2023, the product was folded into the HubSpot ecosystem. Teams that relied on Clearbit as a standalone enrichment API have had to find a replacement, either because they don’t use HubSpot, or because they need signals Clearbit never covered.
This guide covers the most relevant options depending on what you actually need: static company enrichment, contact data, or dynamic company signals like hiring activity, funding events, and technology adoption.
Why teams look for a Clearbit alternative
Clearbit was primarily a company and contact enrichment product. They provided firmographics, technographics (website-based), anonymous visitor identification, and form shortening. After the HubSpot acquisition, it became deeply integrated into HubSpot’s platform. If you’re not a HubSpot customer, or if you need enrichment that goes beyond static company snapshots, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
The other gap is dynamic signals. Clearbit tells you what a company looks like right now. It doesn’t tell you what changed this week and whether they just raised funding, started hiring for a new technology, or announced a product launch. That’s where the real buying triggers live.
PredictLeads: the Clearbit alternative for dynamic company signals
PredictLeads is a data provider delivering structured company signals via API, flat files, webhooks, and MCP. Where Clearbit gave you a static company snapshot, PredictLeads gives you what’s changing: job openings, news events, technology detections, financing events, similar companies, and key customers, all updated daily with real-time webhook delivery.
| Feature | PredictLeads | Clearbit (HubSpot) |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Independent data provider | Acquired by HubSpot, 2023 |
| Contact and person data | No | Yes |
| Company firmographics | Yes, 123M+ companies | Yes |
| Job openings | 2.8M+ companies, 9.2M+ active | Hiring intent only, no full records |
| News events | 9.6M+ structured events, 37 categories | Not covered |
| Technographics | 50,000+ technologies, multi-source | Website-based detection only |
| Financing events | 204,000+ structured funding records | Funding as a firmographic field only |
| Similar companies | 18.8M+ lookalike matches | Not covered |
| Webhooks | Yes, real-time | Limited |
| CRM dependency | None – CRM-agnostic | HubSpot-native |
| Pricing | Public pay-as-you-go | Bundled with HubSpot plans |
All PredictLeads statistics in this article reflect June 2026 data.
PredictLeads is the right Clearbit alternative if your enrichment workflow needs company-level signals that change over time, not just a static record. The News Events dataset alone covers 9.6 million structured events across 37 categories (funding announcements, product launches, partnerships, leadership changes) that Clearbit never provided.
What PredictLeads does not cover
PredictLeads does not provide contact data. No email addresses, phone numbers, or individual person records. If contact enrichment is your primary need, you’ll want a dedicated contact data provider alongside or instead. PredictLeads also has no native HubSpot connector. If you’re looking to replace Clearbit’s form-shortening and HubSpot-native enrichment specifically, that’s a different category.
Other options worth knowing
Apollo.io: if you need contact and company data combined in a prospecting tool, Apollo covers both. It’s not a pure API data provider but it’s a common Clearbit replacement for sales teams.
Clearbit’s data via HubSpot: if you’re open to adopting HubSpot, the original Clearbit enrichment is still available. The product quality hasn’t degraded; it just requires the HubSpot platform.
ZoomInfo: enterprise contact and company data with deep coverage. Higher cost, contract-based, and focused on contact enrichment more than dynamic company signals.
Example: A RevOps team wants to enrich CRM records with company signals and trigger outreach when a target account raises funding or starts hiring for roles that match their ICP. They combine PredictLeads (company signals via API) with a contact data provider (email addresses). The two work together since PredictLeads identifies when and why to reach out; the contact tool provides who to contact.
