Where they pull apart

Clay

Stands out: 150+ provider waterfall plus Claygent on every row, with MCP and API.

Watch out: Not a sender. Paid plans start at about $167/mo, with Launch from $185/mo, and credit burn adds up.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need Clay to send the email
Buyers who want a cheap single-finder

Oppora

Stands out: One login covers lead finding, enrichment, mailbox warm-up, and outreach, with a hosted MCP server for Claude.

Watch out: The $7 Mini packs buy data credits only, not the AI agent. Phone credits are a separate pack, and the done-for-you service is priced separately.

Not the right fit for

Teams that only need LinkedIn automation
Buyers who want one flat price with no credits
