## The 60-second version

**Clearbit is now part of HubSpot.** HubSpot bought it in late 2023, shut down Clearbit's free tools on April 30, 2025 and its free Logo API in December 2025, and now sells Clearbit's data as Breeze Intelligence inside HubSpot ([Clearbit](https://clearbit.com/blog/the-future-of-clearbits-free-tools)). If you don't run HubSpot, or you need enrichment from code, you need a new company enrichment API.

- **Bulk firmographics at the lowest price per record:** People Data Labs, $0.10 down to $0.05 per company, 100 free a month.
- **Sales teams that also want contacts and sequences:** Apollo. Most sources put API access on its Organization plan.
- **Live research on a company, with sources** (tech stack, funding, hiring, news, pain points, people, your own questions): [browserfoundry by Keirolabs](https://www.browserfoundry.cloud/?utm_source=keirolabs&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=clearbit-alternatives), 2 to 21 credits a company depending on fields.
- **Just the logo:** logo.dev, which HubSpot and Clearbit themselves recommend.

## What happened to Clearbit

| Date | What changed |
|---|---|
| Late 2023 | HubSpot acquires Clearbit |
| 2024 | Clearbit's data becomes Breeze Intelligence inside HubSpot |
| April 30, 2025 | Free platform, weekly visitor report, TAM calculator, Connect and the free Slack integration shut down |
| December 2025 | Free Logo API (`logo.clearbit.com`) shut down |

**Code that still calls `logo.clearbit.com` or the free endpoints is broken.** Existing paid enrichment customers were pointed to authenticated APIs and HubSpot; new buyers get Clearbit's data through HubSpot.

## Clearbit alternatives compared

| Alternative | Data | Price | Free | API access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **HubSpot Breeze Intelligence** | Clearbit's company and contact data | HubSpot credits | – | Inside HubSpot |
| **People Data Labs** | Company and person records from a static dataset | Company: $0.10 down to $0.065 per match monthly, $0.05 annual at volume ([pricing](https://www.peopledatalabs.com/pricing/company)) | 100 company records a month | Yes |
| **Apollo** | Contacts plus company data, sequences | Organization plan about $119 per seat per month annually, 3-seat minimum (third-party reports) | Free web plan, no API | Organization plan, per most sources |
| **browserfoundry** | Live lookup: overview, tech, hiring, news, funding, pain points, people, custom questions | 2 to 21 credits a company; all seven fields about $0.06 on Essential, $0.02 on Startup | 750 credits at signup | Yes, the product is the API |
| **logo.dev** | Logos by domain | free tier with attribution | yes | Yes |

**Two kinds of enrichment.** PDL, Apollo and Clearbit look a company up in a database built in advance: fast, structured, sometimes months stale. browserfoundry researches the company when you ask, from its website, DNS, job boards and the press, and returns the sources: slower (seconds, not milliseconds), current, and checkable.

## Enrich a company in one call

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.keirolabs.cloud/api/v2/company \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEIRO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"company": "linear.app", "fields": ["overview", "tech", "hiring", "funding"]}'
```

| Field | What it returns | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| `overview` | Description, industry, headquarters, founding year, products and named customers, from the company's own site | 2 |
| `tech` | Tech stack, each item with evidence (homepage, DNS, job posts) | 2 |
| `hiring` | Open roles from the company's public job boards | 4 |
| `news` | Recent coverage | 2 |
| `funding` | Latest round, total raised, investors, with sources | 4 |
| `pain_points` | Problems customers report, from public complaints and reviews | 2 |
| `people` | Founders and leadership from the company's own pages | 5 |
| `custom_fields` | Your own questions, answered with a source URL and quote | 2 each |

Ask for only the fields you need; you're charged for those, and refunded for any field that fails. `company` accepts a domain or a name.

## Replacing Clearbit's Company API in Python

**Clearbit's Company API returned `name`, `domain`, `description`, `tech` and `metrics`. Here is the same shape from browserfoundry:**

```python
import os, requests

def enrich(domain: str) -> dict:
    r = requests.post(
        "https://api.keirolabs.cloud/api/v2/company",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KEIRO_API_KEY']}"},
        json={
            "company": domain,
            "fields": ["overview", "tech", "funding"],
            "custom_fields": [
                {"name": "employees", "description": "Approximate number of employees"},
            ],
        },
        timeout=120,
    )
    r.raise_for_status()
    d = r.json()
    ov = d.get("overview") or {}
    return {
        "name": d["name"],
        "domain": d["domain"],
        "description": ov.get("description"),
        "industry": ov.get("industry"),
        "headquarters": ov.get("headquarters"),
        "founded": ov.get("founded"),
        "tech": [t["name"] for t in d.get("tech", {}).get("stack", [])],
        "funding": d.get("funding", {}).get("summary"),
        "employees": d.get("custom", {}).get("employees", {}).get("value"),
    }

print(enrich("linear.app"))
```

That call is 10 credits: overview 2, tech 2, funding 4, one custom field 2. About $0.03 on Essential. `overview` already includes description, industry, headquarters, founding year, products and named customers.

## Custom questions: the part Clearbit never had

**Fixed schemas answer fixed questions.** Custom fields let you ask what your sales team actually qualifies on, and every answer must quote its source, or it comes back `null`:

```json
"custom_fields": [
  { "name": "sells_to_enterprise", "description": "Does the company sell to enterprise customers? true or false" },
  { "name": "soc2", "description": "Is the company SOC 2 certified?" },
  { "name": "pricing_model", "description": "How does the company price its product: per seat, usage-based, flat?" }
]
```

```json
"soc2": {
  "value": true,
  "source": "https://example.com/security",
  "quote": "We are SOC 2 Type II certified"
}
```

## Which Clearbit alternative should you pick?

- **You live in HubSpot:** Breeze Intelligence is the path of least resistance.
- **You enrich millions of records in a warehouse:** People Data Labs, for price per record.
- **Your SDRs want contacts, emails and sequences in one tool:** Apollo.
- **You enrich accounts from code or an AI agent and want current, sourced facts:** browserfoundry. Pair it with [tech stack lookups](/blog/builtwith-alternative) and [funding data](/blog/crunchbase-api) from the same endpoint.

New browserfoundry accounts get 750 credits with no card, enough to enrich about 35 companies with all seven fields.
