More than firmographics. 20 fields per credit, no HubSpot needed.Clearbit is now Breeze Intelligence, bundled into HubSpot as basic firmographic fields inside HubSpot Pro. Kustiq delivers 20-field AI profiles with growth signals and rule-based churn risk on every profile, standalone or with any CRM. Pro adds the churn dashboard with Stripe-grounded CLTV bands and a calibrated 90-day churn probability. No HubSpot dependency.
§1The short version
Kustiq differs from Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) in three ways most teams notice on day one.
- No HubSpot dependency. Kustiq works standalone, with HubSpot, or via API with any CRM. Clearbit is now Breeze Intelligence and requires HubSpot Professional or Enterprise (~$800+/mo) to access.
- Strategic profiling, not just firmographics. 20 fields per company including business model, growth signals, and competitive positioning. Clearbit fills basic firmographic fields (size, industry, revenue).
- Built-in churn risk and prospect discovery. Every Kustiq profile carries a churn-risk score and an ICP score. Lookalike discovery is built in. Clearbit is enrichment-only.
Use Breeze on inbound, Kustiq on outbound. Clearbit's value lives inside HubSpot's first-party cookie graph; if the team isn't on HubSpot Pro+, that value evaporates. Kustiq has no HubSpot dependency, so it covers the case Breeze can't — outbound prospecting on accounts that haven't visited your site yet.

§6Other Clearbit alternatives we compete with
§7Six questions, six intents
01 · Real?Is Kustiq a real Clearbit alternative?
For standalone enrichment and for teams not on HubSpot Pro, yes. Kustiq returns a deeper per-company profile than Breeze fills, with churn risk and ICP scoring included. For teams that already pay HubSpot Pro+ and only need firmographic auto-fill on CRM records, Breeze is built into the workflow they already use.
02 · Catch?What is the catch · why is Kustiq cheaper?
Kustiq isn't bundled into a $800+/mo CRM. The pricing line is the whole bill. $0.15 to $0.30 per profile, paid only when a profile is generated. Where it stops working: integration depth. Breeze writes natively to HubSpot fields; Kustiq pushes via the official HubSpot integration but isn't embedded in HubSpot UI.
03 · MigrateCan I migrate my Clearbit / Breeze enrichment to Kustiq?
Export the company list from HubSpot to CSV, drop the file into Targeted Outreach, and Kustiq re-profiles each company. The Kustiq HubSpot integration writes back to the same HubSpot company records, so the team's existing properties keep updating.
04 · MissingIs Kustiq missing anything Clearbit has?
Native in-HubSpot field auto-fill on inbound forms. Reveal-on-website-visitor flows that ride HubSpot's tracking cookie. Breeze does both, Kustiq does neither. If your inbound funnel runs on HubSpot's first-party cookie graph, keep Breeze on the inbound side and use Kustiq for outbound prospecting.
05 · PricingHow does Kustiq pricing compare to Clearbit at 400 enrichments a month?
Breeze enrichment credits scale with the HubSpot tier; getting to 400 enrichments a month typically lands the team on HubSpot Pro at $800+/mo minimum. The same 400 enrichments on Kustiq Pro fit inside the $119/mo plan, with deep profiling and churn risk on every record.
06 · Both?Can I use Kustiq and Clearbit together?
They work together on different sides of the funnel. Many HubSpot teams keep Breeze for inbound auto-fill and add Kustiq for outbound: scoring, churn risk, prospect discovery, and verified contacts. Both write to HubSpot company records, so SDRs see one view.
Profile a company free. No card, no scheduled call.
Try profiling without a HubSpot login. Drop a domain into /try; Kustiq returns the same firmographic depth Breeze writes back, plus the churn signal and ICP score Breeze doesn't ship. 3 profiles a week, no card.
