A Clay Alternative That Turns Prospecting Workflows Into Results
Clay is powerful for building custom GTM workflows, but getting from an idea to an executed workflow can mean configuring providers, waterfalls, tables, signals, and outbound integrations. Lev8 lets you describe who you want and what you want to do in plain language. Lev8 then handles search, qualification, enrichment, monitoring, and outreach in one workflow.

Product Comparison
Precise. Deeper. Wider. Faster. Cheaper.
More. Sharper. Faster.
And it actually understands intent.
Get more usable matches with Swarm Search
Lev8 runs a swarm of search agents in parallel, combining quick search, layered semantic search, and broad open-web exploration. Results are ranked and verified together, so you get broader coverage without giving up speed or precision.
Get more reliable identities with Entity Resolution
Lev8 assigns every person and company a unique entity ID and uses it as ground truth across search and enrichment. Supporting evidence is tied back to the same entity, reducing duplicate profiles, identity mix-ups, and hallucinated matches.
Get more relevant results with Intent Verification
Lev8 continuously builds an intent profile from your request, then checks results against both the overall goal and each individual condition. This multi-layer verification keeps results aligned with your real criteria, not just the keywords in your query.
Reach prospects where they hang out
With Lev8, every verified match comes with the channels they actually use. Send personalized outreach over email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, or WhatsApp — and manage replies and follow-ups in one place.

Subject: Congrats on the Pre-Seed, Marcus
Hi Marcus,
Saw NeuralPath just closed $1.2M and the repo hit 47 commits last week - clearly moving fast. Curious if you're thinking about how your outbound scales as the team grows.
We help founders automate the research layer so your first message always lands.
Worth 15 minutes?
Best, Tony
FAQ About Lev8, AI
Prospecting & Outreach
Yes. Lev8 is an alternative to Clay for teams that want to find, qualify, enrich, monitor, and reach prospects from a single workflow. Although Clay gives you powerful building blocks to create GTM workflows, Lev8 focuses on turning a plain-language request into an executed workflow with less setup.
Clay is a powerful GTM workflow platform built around data providers, enrichment, waterfalls, tables, signals, and integrations. Lev8 takes a search-first approach: describe the people or companies you want, and Lev8 handles discovery, qualification, enrichment, monitoring, and outreach in one workflow.
For teams primarily using Clay for prospect discovery, enrichment, research, and outbound workflows, Lev8 can be a simpler alternative. If you need highly customized, table-based workflows with extensive provider configuration, Clay may be a better fit. Lev8 is designed for teams that want to go from a goal to qualified prospects and actions with less manual setup.
Yes. Lev8 can enrich prospects and companies with additional contact, company, and research data as part of the workflow. Instead of manually configuring multiple enrichment steps, you can describe what information you need and let Lev8 handle the research and qualification.
Yes. Lev8 brings outreach directly into the prospecting workflow, allowing you to move from finding the right prospects to personalized outreach without relying on a separate outbound workflow for every use case.
