Clay billing has two parts:
1. Platform Fee (Annual)
- Charged once per year on your subscription anniversary.
- Tiered based on your total number of active units across all projects.
- Covers access to the platform, integrations, and support.
2. Project Fees (Per-Unit, 12 Months)
- Each project has its own 12-month contract, starting on the project launch date.
- Billed annually, separate from the platform fee.
- Projects renew independently.
Example:
- Jan 2025: Project A (400 units) → Platform Fee Tier 1 ($7,500) + $9,600 per-unit fees.
- Sept 2025: Project B (300 units) pushes total units to 700 → Tier 2 ($10,000).
- Clay credits $2,500 (unused Tier 1 months, Sept–Dec).
- Clay charges $3,333 (Tier 2 prorated, Sept–Dec).
- Net uplift = $833.
- Jan 2026: Platform Fee resets at Tier 2 ($10,000).
