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 — 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 — 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 — PredictLeads identifies when and why to reach out; the contact tool provides who to contact.
