Last updated September 27, 2026

Our read

GTM and enrichment tools started as a better way to buy contact data and turned into a way to run outbound sales as a system. Clearbit popularized 'data enrichment' as a product in 2015, and Clay coined 'GTM engineer' in 2023. G2's Sales Intelligence list grew from 301 to 490 products in about 21 months, well ahead of market growth. The name is contested. The complaint about ZoomInfo is stale data sold on opaque, auto-renewing annual contracts. AI research agents are shifting the unit of work from an exported list to an executed workflow. HubSpot bought Clearbit in 2023, and ZoomInfo has launched its own orchestration product. We've audited eleven companies here.

Open question for founders
Once incumbents bundle multi-vendor enrichment into their own platforms, is the product advantage the workflow or the community of operators who build on top?
