Clay

data-enrichment workflow builder

Clay is a spreadsheet-meets-automation builder for outbound. You bring a list, chain enrichment APIs, then push into a sequencer.

Wavly

Agentic Revenue Operating System

Wavly is an AI revenue workforce: Scout, Closer, Keeper, and Grower — four AI employees on a shared Revenue Graph and Revenue Memory that qualify accounts, convert opportunities, defend customer revenue, and expand ARR with governed autonomy and live CRM attribution. Built for RevOps and pipeline teams from $5M ARR.

Why founders switch

Leave Clay — hire the revenue workforce.

What hurts on Clay

  • High monthly cost before a durable operating loop exists.
  • Enrichment is still push-paradigm — you own the workflows that decay.
  • Tables do not become Scout → Closer → Keeper → Grower handoffs with Memory.

What you get on Wavly

  • No enrichment DAG to babysit — connect CRM and product, hire the workforce.
  • Governed agent actions with provenance instead of brittle column pipelines.
  • Memory compounds from attributed Closer wins and Keeper saves — unique to your revenue.
