When I first looked into Clearbit pricing, I expected a simple plan and a flat monthly fee. But since its rebrand to Breeze Intelligence under HubSpot AI, the pricing structure has become far more layered.
Between credit packs, HubSpot tiers, and add-on costs, it’s easy to underestimate your total spend. So here’s a full breakdown of what Clearbit really costs and what to look out for before you sign up.
Breeze Intelligence is an add-on feature for existing HubSpot users. It starts at $45/mo for an annual commitment, or $50/mo if you choose the monthly option.
This gives you 100 Breeze Intelligence credits and access to the Starter Customer Platform.
So, depending on whether you have the Professional Customer Platform or the Enterprise Customer Platform, you could be set back around $1184 to $4135/mo annually.
The Breeze Intelligence enhancement includes HubSpot’s Starter edition of Marketing, Sales, Service, Content, Operations, and Commerce Hubs.

When I tested Clearbit, now rebranded as Breeze Intelligence under HubSpot AI, I wanted to understand what I was really paying for.
Here’s the short version:
According to the HubSpot website, plans are based on a credit system. Credits unlock enriched data for a contact or company record.
Here’s what each credit tier unlocks:

Here’s how Breeze Intelligence credits work:
Breeze Intelligence credits are used when employing the following features:
Any previously enriched data that the user or another integration hasn’t overwritten will not be charged a credit.
Each Breeze Intelligence credit tier corresponds to a specific monthly usage period:
Clearbit is good for marketing teams looking for email addresses and database enrichment. However, due to the way Breeze Intelligence structures its pricing, it might not be worth it if your teams require unrestricted credits, integrations, and wider coverage for DNC list screening.
If you’re looking for a tool to make it easier to prospect across NAM, APAC and EMEA without limited credits, Cognism is for you.
Here’s what makes Cognism different from Clearbit:
In a satisfaction survey, software buyers who evaluated data enrichment tools scored Cognism higher than Clearbit.
Some buyers say that Clearbit needs to improve the quality of enrichment, as there are many duplicates. Others mention that the intent signals can be improved.
These are all factors Cognism excels at. In the 2024 Forrester Wave report, Cognism scored 5/5 for geographic coverage of contact data and 5/5 in data security and privacy.
But don’t take my word for it!
You can only cancel or downgrade your Breeze Intelligence credit packs at the end of your contractual commitment period.
