HOW THEY DIFFER
The short version.
On our benchmark Clay takes the higher SDR Score (72 to 69) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.
On channels, Coldreach is wider — 2 of 4 versus 1. If the channel your buyers answer on isn't covered, the rest barely matters.
On price, Clay starts lower — $185/mo against from $899/mo — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in how hands-off each one is.
So Clay suits mid-market/agency/startup teams; Coldreach leans toward mid-market/smb.
