A Clearbit alternative is what most people search for after a Clearbit tool stopped working: the free enrichment platform, Clearbit Connect or the logo URL in their app. Clearbit was acquired by HubSpot in December 2023, and its free tools were retired in 2025. Which alternative fits depends on which Clearbit tool you relied on. Below is what Clearbit’s and HubSpot’s own pages say, checked October 10, 2026.
Disclosure: we make emailvalidation.io, one of the alternatives on this page. The strengths of HubSpot’s Clearbit data are listed in their own section, and the sources are at the end.
What happened to Clearbit
- December 2023: HubSpot acquires Clearbit. Clearbit’s help center says the team has since fully integrated into HubSpot.
- 2024: HubSpot launches Breeze Intelligence at INBOUND 2024, built on Clearbit data, for enriching contacts and companies inside HubSpot (Clearbit blog, February 13, 2025).
- April 30, 2025: the free Clearbit Platform, Weekly Visitor Report, TAM Calculator, Clearbit Connect and the free Slack integration are retired, along with free use of the Risk API and the Name to Domain API.
- December 8, 2025: the free Logo API (logo
.clearbit.com) shuts down, per HubSpot’s developer changelog. The earlier Clearbit blog post had named December 1. - Today: clearbit.com says “Clearbit has joined HubSpot!” and shows no plans or prices. HubSpot’s data enrichment page says enrichment “is included in all paid plans with HubSpot’s Smart CRM”, and HubSpot’s knowledge base (updated July 10, 2026) says data enrichment does not consume HubSpot Credits.

Where HubSpot’s Clearbit data is stronger
- Enrichment inside the CRM. HubSpot adds 40+ firmographic and technographic data points to contact and company records and keeps them current. For contacts it uses the first name, last name and work email you already have.
- No extra cost. Enrichment is included in paid Smart CRM plans, per HubSpot’s product page, and uses no HubSpot Credits.
- Company reveal and shorter forms. Clearbit.com describes identifying companies from IP addresses and forms that fill company fields from an email address.
If your team works in HubSpot, that is the natural successor. To check the email addresses already in your HubSpot account, see our HubSpot integration page.
Where emailvalidation.io fits as a Clearbit alternative
Finding a work email. HubSpot’s enrichment works from a work email you already have; it doesn’t say it finds missing ones. The email finder takes a first name, last name and company domain and checks the address with the company’s mail server before it returns it. On catch-all domains, which accept any address, it returns the most common pattern (first.last@) and marks it as risky.
Finding emails from LinkedIn. The LinkedIn email finder Chrome extension finds addresses for people on LinkedIn profiles, in Sales Navigator and in Groups, and saves them to lists you can download as CSV. It works on the free plan, which includes 100 credits a month; a LinkedIn email search uses 10.
Screening signups by email. If you used Clearbit to judge signups, the email validation API answers the email part: format, MX and an SMTP mailbox check, plus flags for disposable, role and free-provider addresses and a score from 0 to 1. The free disposable email checker shows the disposable check on single addresses. It does not tell you the company size or industry.
No CRM required. Plans are per account: free with 100 credits, then Small $9.99 (5,000 credits), Medium $34.99 (25,000) and Large $94.99 (100,000) a month. A validation uses 1 credit, an email search 10. See email validation API pricing.
What we don’t do: company and contact enrichment, IP-to-company reveal, intent data or logos.
Other Clearbit alternatives
- Apollo: contact and company data, CRM enrichment and website visitor identification; free plan with 75 credits per seat a month, paid plans from $49 per seat a month billed annually. See the Apollo alternative page.
- Lusha: contact and company enrichment with native CRM integrations; free plan with 40 credits a month. See the Lusha alternative page.
- RocketReach: emails and phone numbers from 700 million professional profiles; 5 free lookups. See the RocketReach alternative page.
- Snov.io: email finder and verifier with enrichment tokens and campaigns. See the Snov.io alternative page.
