The Verdict
Clearbit is built for b2b marketers and growth teams, with a focus on data-enrichment and reveal-visitors. Heap targets product teams and growth teams and leads with auto-capture and retroactive-analytics.
Both tools use custom enterprise pricing — you'll need to contact sales for a quote, which makes direct cost comparison difficult.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Clearbit offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Heap takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Both tools are a solid fit for growth teams — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
