Clay reworded the email-sending capability across its plan cards.

WHY IT MATTERS
Buyers comparing Clay's tiers should treat the plan-card bullets as the current sales narrative rather than a definitive statement of entitlements, since the feature table hasn't caught up. Watch whether Clay eventually aligns the feature-comparison table with the new card copy — which would turn this from cosmetic repositioning into an actual downgrade of email-sending access on the Free tier.
BY THE NUMBERS
- Clay reworded the email-sending capability across its plan cards
- Free lost its "Send emails with Clay sequencer" bullet entirely
- Clay appears to be steering the sales narrative toward Growth for anything infrastructure-heavy
THEIR RATIONALE
The new Launch bullet explicitly names "Clay" as a first-class sending option alongside integrations, and Growth's new domain-buying bullet frames that tier as the one equipped to handle sending infrastructure (dedicated domains and inboxes) at scale — positioning email infrastructure as a Growth-tier capability rather than a baseline feature.
THE SIGNAL
The gap between the plan-card copy and the still-unchanged feature-comparison table (which continues to show sequencer email as Included for Free) points to this being a messaging and upsell repositioning rather than a confirmed entitlement removal. Clay appears to be steering the sales narrative toward Growth for anything infrastructure-heavy — domains, inboxes, deliverability — while leaving the underlying access for lower tiers technically intact for now. That's a familiar move in sales-engagement tooling: bundle the compliance/deliverability layer (domains, warmup) as the premium differentiator even before the base feature itself is gated.
