Updated 24 Sep 2026, the date of the latest episode or confirmation citing any tool on these layers. Cite as: GTM Vault, The Stack Index, “The enrichment and data tools operators run, by operator count”, https://pro.gtmvault.co/stack/most-run/enrichment-and-data, updated 24 Sep 2026.
How to read this page. The order is a count, not a score. Each number is how many operators described running the tool on a GTM Vault episode or in a confirmed stack, one citation per episode, in their own words. A tool named only as displaced by something else is not counted as run. Nothing is inferred from reviews, traffic or pricing, nothing here is a recommendation, and placement in the index is not for sale.

Every tool run by more than one operator, by count. Each row jumps to who runs it and what they built.
What these layers do
An enrichment waterfall is two layers working together: sources that supply records, and a resolution layer that merges, dedupes and decides which answer wins. A waterfall is the resolution layer calling several sources in order.

Common questions
- What are the best enrichment waterfall tools?
- On the GTM Vault record, 10 operators described running 13 tools across the source layer and the enrichment and resolution layer. Ordered by how many operators run each: Clay (7), Apollo (6), Apify (2), Lead Magic (2), ZoomInfo (2). The number in brackets is operators on the record, not reviews, traffic or revenue. Every count is one citation per episode, in the operator's own words, from Show Me Your Stack, the GTM Vault Podcast or a confirmed stack.

- What do these layers do?
- An enrichment waterfall is two layers working together: sources that supply records, and a resolution layer that merges, dedupes and decides which answer wins. A waterfall is the resolution layer calling several sources in order. Source: Where raw records enter: companies, people, firmographics, scraped listings. Enrichment and Resolution: Waterfall enrichment, dedupe, entity matching across sources.
- Is this a ranking of the best tools?
- No. The order is the number of operators who described running the tool on a GTM Vault episode, nothing else. The index carries no score, no sponsored placement and no editorial preference. Placement is not for sale and no count is edited. Updated 24 Sep 2026.
- How many operators are behind these numbers?
- 10 distinct operators across these layers. A tool appears only once an operator described running it in a working system; tools named only as displaced by something else are not counted as run.
