Clearbit API in 2026: What Still Works and What Replaced It

Facts checked October 16, 2026. Every fact here comes from Clearbit's help center and changelog, HubSpot's knowledge base and product catalog, and posts by HubSpot employees on HubSpot Community, read on October 16, 2026. The endpoint status table comes from requests we sent that day without an API key.

Can you still get a Clearbit API key?

Not as a new customer. Clearbit's help center says it is no longer offering new standalone Clearbit subscriptions, and its API key article says keys are available only for Clearbit accounts created in 2023 or earlier. New buyers are sent to HubSpot. Clearbit.com itself is now a one-page "Clearbit has joined HubSpot" site with a customer login, and its pricing page redirects to the homepage.

If your company had a paid Clearbit account before 2024, your key may still work; contract questions go to your Clearbit customer success manager.

What happened to Clearbit, and when?

No end-of-life date has been published for the paid Clearbit APIs: Enrichment (Person, Company, Combined), Reveal, Prospector and Discovery.

Does the Clearbit API still work for existing customers?

Yes, as of October 2026. Answering a question about the Streaming APIs in October 2025, a HubSpot employee wrote that the Person and Company APIs were not affected by the upcoming sunset and that Clearbit "continues to operate as a standalone product suite", with business as usual across paid services.

The public API reference is gone: dashboard.clearbit.com/docs now redirects to a login page. To see what still answers, we sent requests without a key on October 16, 2026. A route that exists returns 401 auth_required; a made-up path on the same host returns 404 unknown_route.

Those paths come from Clearbit's older public docs. The current reference sits behind the login, so confirm the details there before you change a production integration.

Limits and billing for existing accounts, per Clearbit's help center:

• Rate limit: 600 requests a minute to each API, except Reveal and Streaming. For enrichment it is a soft limit: requests over it are queued at low priority, not rejected.
• What counts: one enrichment request is one call, and a unique lookup counts once per billing period.
• Credits: Prospector and Discovery cost 2 credits per record created; Reveal costs 0.1 credit per unique IP revealed. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over.
• Batch: $0.30 a row, only for accounts that signed up before March 1, 2024.

Clearbit does not publish list prices for its subscriptions. Our Clearbit pricing guide collects what is known.

What replaced the Clearbit Logo API?

HubSpot's developer team recommended logo.dev, which it called a free, high-quality logo-fetching service. The swap is one URL: replace https://logo.clearbit.com/:domain with https://img.logo.dev/:domain?token=YOUR_TOKEN. Logo.dev's free plan requires an attribution link and, per its pricing page, covers 500,000 logo requests a month. Logo.dev describes itself as built by members of the original Clearbit team; that is the vendor's own claim.

Paying Clearbit customers can still get logos through the logo attribute of the Company Enrichment API, though Clearbit says logos will not be developed further.

What does HubSpot offer instead of Clearbit enrichment?

HubSpot's Data Enrichment, launched in 2024 as Breeze Intelligence, fills company and contact properties on records inside a HubSpot account:

• Plans: included with paid Starter, Professional and Enterprise hubs; the free CRM is not listed.
• Cost: HubSpot's knowledge base says data enrichment does not consume HubSpot Credits. Smart properties, buyer intent and the Data agent do, at $0.010 a credit; intent costs 10 credits per company a month.
• Inputs: a company domain for companies; first name, last name and a business email for contacts.
• Volume: you can enroll up to 100 records at a time from an index page, plus segments, imports and workflows for larger runs.

What it does not do matters for developers. HubSpot documents no enrichment endpoint you can call from outside HubSpot with an email or a domain and get a profile back; enrichment runs on records already in your portal. And for Clearbit Connect's job, a HubSpot employee wrote in February 2025 that HubSpot does not provide contact email addresses.

How much does Clearbit enrichment cost in 2026?

New buyers cannot pay Clearbit for enrichment anymore, so the price question now has a HubSpot answer. Enriching records in HubSpot comes with paid seats and uses no HubSpot Credits, while intent signals and the Data agent draw on credits. The figures below were read on November 10, 2026, on HubSpot's product catalog and knowledge base and Clearbit's help center, except the Batch price, read October 16.

Each paid HubSpot plan includes credits every month: 500 on Starter, 3,000 on Professional and 5,000 on Enterprise for most hubs, and 5,000 or 10,000 on a Professional or Enterprise Data Hub or Customer Platform. They reset monthly and do not roll over. At 10 credits per company a month, tracking intent on 200 companies takes 2,000 credits, which is $20 a month at the pay-as-you-go rate once your allowance is used up. Enriching the contacts at those companies adds nothing.

Older guides still quote Breeze Intelligence at $45 a month for 100 credits. HubSpot's product catalog, read November 10, 2026, has no Breeze Intelligence line at all, and its knowledge base says data enrichment does not consume HubSpot Credits. Other vendors sell enrichment that runs inside HubSpot too; our ZoomInfo Enrich guide covers one of them.

What should you use instead of the Clearbit API?

Match the replacement to the job the Clearbit call did:

Clu, disclosed. We make Clu, which gives you AI agents that run your GTM. Clu, our GTM agent, finds buyers across 1B+ profiles, gets verified emails and direct dials from 25+ providers, writes and sends sequences, and syncs to HubSpot or Salesforce. Our enrichment API opens the same waterfall to your own code: it verifies every work email before returning it, charges 1 credit per verified work email and 10 per phone number, and returns a company record from a domain for 1 credit. API keys and CRM sync come with Pro at $89 a seat a month and Enterprise; the MCP server, which gives AI agents the same tools, is included from Starter at $49. The data enrichment API explainer covers how this kind of API works, and the Clearbit alternatives page compares the wider field.

What replaced Clearbit Reveal, Prospector and Connect?

Clearbit sold more than its enrichment API. Reveal turned a website visitor's IP address into a company, Prospector found contacts at a target company, Forms shortened sign-up forms, Connect found a person's work email, and free tools such as the TAM Calculator sized markets. Here is where each job goes as of November 10, 2026.

Where does Clearbit get its data?

Clearbit's help center describes how its dataset grows. When a customer submits an email address Clearbit does not have, Clearbit runs a real-time search of its data sources, and both the email and what it finds are added to its dataset, which may be shared with other customers. Customers can switch that off with the Community Data Opt Out, which Clearbit says can lower email match rates by as much as 5% (article last updated April 10, 2024, read November 10, 2026). For how first, second and third-party data differ, see our guide to 3rd party data providers.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Clearbit API free?

No. The free tiers of the Name to Domain and Risk APIs ended on April 30, 2025, and the free Logo API shut down on December 8, 2025. The Autocomplete API is the exception: Clearbit's help center says it can still be used without an account or an API key, though it no longer returns logos.

Is Clearbit shutting down?

Not for existing paid customers, as far as anything published says. No end-of-life date exists for the paid APIs, and a HubSpot employee wrote in October 2025 that Clearbit continues as a standalone product suite. New subscriptions are closed, so the customer base can only shrink.

What happened to logo.clearbit.com?

It shut down on December 8, 2025, after a deprecation notice on March 18, 2025. The date was first announced as December 1. HubSpot points developers to logo.dev instead.

Does HubSpot have a data enrichment API?

Not one that works outside HubSpot. HubSpot's Data Enrichment fills properties on records in your HubSpot portal, including records created through forms and integrations, but HubSpot documents no endpoint that takes an email or a domain and returns a profile.

What are the alternatives to the Clearbit API?

It depends on the job the Clearbit call did. Records inside HubSpot get HubSpot Data Enrichment (formerly Breeze Intelligence) on a paid plan, and logos come from logo.dev, which HubSpot recommends. For enrichment from your own code, use a standalone API such as People Data Labs or Clu (our product), which gives you AI agents that run your GTM and an API that charges 1 credit per verified work email, from Pro at $89 a seat a month.

What is Breeze Intelligence called now?

Data Enrichment. A HubSpot employee wrote in May 2026 that Data Enrichment, formerly called Breeze Intelligence, is now included with paid plans. Buyer intent and the Data agent are priced separately in HubSpot Credits.
