Starnus vs Clay

What makes Starnus different
Built for teams that want less setup and more execution
01
Plain-English instead of workflow overload
With Starnus, you do not need to think in tables, formulas, or enrichment waterfalls first. You can describe the goal in plain English and let the workflow come together from there.
02
More than just data orchestration
Starnus is not only about shaping lead data. It helps connect sourcing, enrichment, messaging, campaign execution, and follow-up in one outbound flow.
03
Automation built in
Users can automate repetitive outbound work without building complex systems themselves. That includes finding leads, enriching data, generating messaging, launching sequences, and tracking replies.
04
Better fit for small teams
Many startups do not have a GTM engineer or RevOps operator to maintain advanced workflow logic. Starnus is built for founders and lean teams that want speed and clarity.
05
Managed service if you want hands-on help
Starnus also offers a managed service for teams that want more than software. Our GTM engineers help run the workflow with you, and you get at least two weekly meetings for updates, alignment, and next steps.
