CapyScout vs Clay

Less spreadsheet building, more approved outreach when a signal hits

Clay is a flexible GTM workflow builder for sourcing, enrichment, waterfalls, AI research, and outbound actions. CapyScout is narrower: it monitors accounts and new-company feeds, explains why now, finds the contact, and prepares outreach for approval.
