Scrupp vs Clearbit
Clearbit is an API-first B2B data enrichment platform (now part of HubSpot), focused on firmographics and website visitor identification. Scrupp is a LinkedIn + Sales Navigator scraper with built-in email & phone enrichment. Here's the honest side-by-side — including where Clearbit still wins.
Quick answer
Scrupp vs Clearbit — which should you pick?
Clearbit (acquired by HubSpot in 2023) is an API-first data enrichment tool that specializes in firmographic data (company size, revenue, tech stack) and website visitor identification (Reveal). It's powerful for marketing teams enriching inbound leads but doesn't do LinkedIn scraping. Scrupp focuses on outbound: LinkedIn/Sales Navigator scraping, email finding, and phone enrichment. Pick Clearbit if you need inbound lead enrichment and website visitor ID. Pick Scrupp if you need outbound LinkedIn prospecting with verified emails.
When each wins
Clearbit or Scrupp — honest verdict
You're a marketing team enriching inbound leads with firmographics (company size, revenue, tech stack) and identifying anonymous website visitors. You use HubSpot and want native integration.
You're an SDR or outbound sales team building prospect lists from LinkedIn/Sales Navigator and need verified work emails + phone numbers. You do cold outreach, not inbound enrichment.

Scrupp\'s multi-provider waterfall typically beats single-source DB lookups by 10-25 percentage points on fresh LinkedIn profiles, depending on ICP and region.
LinkedIn caps Sales Navigator search results at 2,500. Scrupp splits large searches into filtered queries and merges results — Clearbit doesn\'t.

Benchmarks are approximate and depend on ICP, region, and time. Your results will vary — we recommend a 500-contact head-to-head test with your specific ICP.
"We replaced our Clearbit setup with Scrupp for Sales Navigator exports and email enrichment. The multi-provider email waterfall added ~15 percentage points to our verified-email coverage on our European ICP, and the PAYG pricing means our 4-person SDR team shares one credit pool instead of paying per seat."
