FAQ

What is data enrichment?

Data enrichment is the process of adding missing details to your existing records — such as job title, company size, industry, email, or phone number — by matching them against third-party data sources. It improves lead scoring, segmentation, routing, and personalization.

Is there a free data enrichment tool?

Several tools offer free tiers with limited monthly credits, including Apollo.io, Lusha, and Hunter. These are enough to test match quality or enrich a small list, but higher volumes and premium data (like verified mobile numbers) generally require a paid plan.

What is a data enrichment waterfall?

A waterfall queries multiple data providers in sequence for the same record, using the first source that returns a match and falling through to the next when it doesn't. Tools like Clay popularized this approach because no single provider has complete coverage, so chaining sources raises overall match rates.
