From Clearbit to Breeze Intelligence

Clearbit launched in 2014 as a standalone B2B data enrichment company, building a reputation for its developer-friendly APIs that appended firmographic, technographic, and contact data to email addresses, domains, and IP addresses. Over the following decade it became a staple integration for sales and marketing teams working inside Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, and Segment.

In December 2023, HubSpot announced it had acquired Clearbit, and by 2024 the product had been absorbed into HubSpot's Breeze AI suite under the name Breeze Intelligence. The standalone clearbit.com product and self-serve signup were retired for new customers, and as of 2026 enrichment, buyer intent, and form-shortening capabilities are sold exclusively as an add-on to a paid HubSpot subscription rather than as an independent SaaS product.

How the enrichment technology works today

Breeze Intelligence still relies on the underlying Clearbit data engine: a combination of first-party crawling, public records, partner data, and machine learning models that assemble structured company and contact profiles from a fragmented web. Enrichment happens directly inside HubSpot CRM records, forms, and workflows, so marketing and sales teams see enriched fields (employee count, industry, revenue range, technology stack, job title, seniority) without leaving the HubSpot interface.

The product is priced on a credit system: each successful enrichment or intent lookup consumes one credit from a monthly pool that resets and does not roll over. Buyers must already hold a paid HubSpot Starter, Professional, or Enterprise seat before they can purchase Breeze Intelligence credits, which represents a meaningful shift from Clearbit's old plug-and-play pricing.

Who still uses it and alternatives

Existing HubSpot customers who valued Clearbit's enrichment accuracy are the primary remaining users, since the tool now only makes sense within the HubSpot ecosystem. Teams on other CRMs, or teams that want enrichment decoupled from a marketing platform subscription, generally evaluate alternatives such as Clay, ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, or Cognism instead.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Deep native integration with HubSpot CRM, forms, and workflows removes the need for a separate enrichment tool if you are already on HubSpot
  • Data quality and match rates are generally considered strong, inheriting the original Clearbit data engine
  • Form shortening measurably improves conversion rates on gated content and demo request forms
  • Buyer intent data helps sales teams prioritize accounts that are actively researching solutions
  • Enrichment happens automatically inside existing HubSpot workflows, reducing manual data entry

Cons

  • No longer available as a standalone product; a paid HubSpot subscription is now mandatory just to purchase credits
  • Total cost of ownership has increased significantly since the HubSpot acquisition, with mid-market teams often paying well over 1000 USD per month
  • Monthly credits expire with no rollover, which can waste unused capacity
  • Teams on non-HubSpot CRMs have much more limited access to the technology than before the acquisition
  • Pricing has become more layered and harder to predict, combining HubSpot tier costs with separate credit-pack costs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Clearbit still a separate product in 2026?

No. Clearbit has been rebranded and folded into HubSpot as Breeze Intelligence, and it is no longer sold or signed up for as a standalone product.

Do I need HubSpot to use Clearbit or Breeze Intelligence?

Yes. As of 2026, Breeze Intelligence requires an active paid HubSpot subscription before enrichment credits can be purchased.

What happened to the Clearbit API for developers?

HubSpot has wound down the general-purpose standalone Clearbit APIs for new customers in favor of the in-product Breeze Intelligence enrichment features inside HubSpot.

How much does Breeze Intelligence cost?

Pricing is credit-based, with entry packages around 45 to 50 USD per month for 100 credits on top of a required HubSpot subscription that starts around 30 USD per month, though actual total spend varies by plan and volume.

What can Breeze Intelligence do that plain HubSpot forms cannot?

It enriches contact and company records automatically, shortens forms by pre-filling known fields, identifies anonymous website visitors at the company level, and surfaces buyer intent signals.

What are good alternatives if I am not on HubSpot?

Teams outside the HubSpot ecosystem commonly evaluate ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, Cognism, or Clay for comparable enrichment and intent capabilities.

Did the underlying data quality change after the acquisition?

The core enrichment data engine originates from the original Clearbit technology, though it is now positioned and packaged under HubSpot's Breeze AI branding.

Can existing Clearbit API customers keep their old integration?

HubSpot has been migrating legacy Clearbit customers toward Breeze Intelligence and HubSpot subscriptions rather than maintaining the old standalone product indefinitely, so long-term continuity of the old API is not guaranteed.
