Head-to-head comparison

nRev vs Clearbit: Which One Fits Your GTM Motion?

Clearbit was a standalone enrichment tool. Since HubSpot's acquisition it's Breeze Intelligence, credit-based and locked to a HubSpot subscription. nRev runs enrichment plus outbound, LinkedIn automation, and CRM cleanup, independent of any single CRM.

TL;DR

Clearbit doesn't exist as an independent product anymore. Since HubSpot's 2023 acquisition, it's rebranded as Breeze Intelligence, sold only as a credit add-on on top of a mandatory HubSpot subscription, with no standalone API and no rollover on unused credits. nRev runs its own enrichment waterfall across 100+ providers, works with whatever CRM you already have, and adds outbound, LinkedIn automation, and CRM cleanup on top, all for one flat monthly fee.

Why teams switch

No mandatory subscription to another platform

Breeze Intelligence only works as an add-on inside a HubSpot subscription, so the real starting cost is HubSpot's Starter plan plus credits, not just the credit price. nRev's enrichment runs independent of any specific CRM.

Enrichment that doesn't stop at enrichment

Clearbit, now Breeze Intelligence, only enriches records. nRev enriches and then acts, running outbound, LinkedIn automation, and CRM cleanup on the same data.

Credits that don't expire mid-motion

Breeze Intelligence credits expire every month with no rollover, so unused capacity is lost. nRev isn't metered the same way, so a slower month doesn't waste what you paid for.

When Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) might be the right choice

  • You're already fully committed to HubSpot as your CRM and marketing platform and want enrichment inside that ecosystem
  • Your enrichment needs are light enough that 100 credits a month reliably covers it
  • You don't need outbound execution, LinkedIn automation, or signal-based targeting at all, just contact and company data

Some teams keep Breeze Intelligence for basic enrichment inside HubSpot and run nRev for everything downstream, outbound, LinkedIn, and signal-based targeting. Ask us about pairing the two.

Clearbit becoming a HubSpot-only add-on meant we needed a HubSpot subscription just to keep the enrichment we already relied on. Moving that to nRev meant we weren't paying for a CRM we didn't fully use just to get data.

Frequently asked questions

Should I switch from Clearbit to nRev?

If you're paying for a HubSpot subscription mainly to keep Breeze Intelligence enrichment, yes, it's worth comparing costs. nRev runs its own enrichment waterfall independent of any CRM, and adds outbound, LinkedIn automation, and signal-based targeting that Clearbit never offered, even before the acquisition.

Does nRev replace Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) entirely?

Yes, for enrichment specifically. nRev's waterfall enrichment covers what Clearbit did as a standalone product, without requiring a HubSpot subscription to access it, and adds outbound and LinkedIn automation on top.

Can I migrate from Clearbit to nRev easily?

Yes. Most teams export their existing enrichment fields and target account list, point nRev's enrichment waterfall at the same accounts, and layer in outbound and LinkedIn automation from day one, no CRM migration required.

Is nRev more affordable than Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence)?

Often, yes, once the mandatory HubSpot subscription is counted. Breeze Intelligence credits start around $45 a month for 100 credits, but that's on top of at least a $20-a-month HubSpot Starter subscription, and unused credits expire monthly. nRev's Nudge plan is $149 a month flat, with nothing else required and no expiring credit pool.

The verdict on Clearbit vs nRev

Clearbit was a strong standalone enrichment tool before HubSpot's acquisition folded it into Breeze Intelligence. Now it only works as a metered add-on inside an active HubSpot subscription, credits expire monthly, and it never ran outbound or LinkedIn automation even in its independent days. nRev runs its own enrichment waterfall with no platform dependency, and adds the execution layer, outbound, LinkedIn automation, and signal-based targeting, on top.

  • No mandatory subscription to another platform just to access enrichment
  • Enrichment that feeds directly into outbound and LinkedIn automation, not a dead end
  • Flat monthly plans instead of a metered credit pool that expires unused
