Personal CRM comparison
Resyl vs Clay
Clay is now rebranded as Mesh (me.sh).
Clay — now rebranded as Mesh — automatically builds your network from your connected accounts and enriches profiles from public web data. Resyl does the opposite: nothing is scraped, and you capture only what you choose. If you want intentional, private memory of real conversations instead of passive profile aggregation, Resyl is the better fit. (Note: this is clay.earth / Mesh, not clay.com, the separate B2B sales tool.)

What Clay does
Clay (Mesh) connects your email, calendar, LinkedIn, and X, then automatically pulls in everyone you interact with and enriches their profiles from the web. It scores relationship strength and surfaces news about your connections so you never maintain a spreadsheet by hand.
Where Clay shines
Effortless auto-enrichment. It builds your network from your connected accounts and keeps profiles fresh from public web data — genuinely useful for investors, recruiters, and connectors who work a large existing network.
Where Clay falls short
- Passive aggregation, not intentional capture — it logs who you know, not what you talked about
- Enrichment pulls data about people from the open web — a privacy trade-off Resyl deliberately avoids
- Weak on "what did we actually discuss" — there's no deep, free-form memory you write yourself
- Rebrand churn (clay.earth → Mesh) and a credit/paid wall for full features
- Desktop-leaning — not built for fast, in-the-moment mobile capture
Why people choose Resyl
- You decide what's remembered — intentional capture beats passive scraping
- Private by design: Resyl never enriches profiles from the open web; your data stays yours
- Free-form memory + AI recall — ask what happened and get the substance, not a profile
- Mobile-first 10-second capture — log a moment the instant it happens
- AES-256-GCM encryption with per-memory sharing via QR and Communities
Resyl vs Clay — FAQ
Is Clay the same as Mesh?
Yes. The personal CRM that lived at clay.earth rebranded to Mesh (me.sh) in 2024. The clay.earth domain still redirects. It is not the same as clay.com, which is a separate B2B sales-enrichment platform.
How is Resyl more private than Clay/Mesh?
Clay enriches your contacts by pulling data about them from the public web. Resyl never does this — it only stores what you intentionally capture, encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with per-memory sharing controls.
Does Resyl auto-import my network like Clay?
No, and that's deliberate. Clay auto-aggregates everyone from your connected accounts. Resyl is built around intentional capture, so your memory holds what matters to you instead of a scraped contact dump.
