Where Clay wins
Teams that already have a signal and want to enrich and route it.
Where Sygnal wins
- Individual-level signals: the actual person asking, not a fuzzy account score
- Under-48-hour freshness so the buying moment is still open
- Scored against your ICP blueprint (semantics, intent, pain, competitor mentions)
- Self-serve pricing a fraction of enterprise intent platforms
