Where Wappalyzer is stronger
- The browser extension, used by over 2.5 million people, and an iOS app.
- Lead lists with company size, industry and traffic filters, plus contacts and verified emails.
- CRM enrichment in Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive.
- It has been doing this since 2008, with data “from millions of websites”. Our index is young.
- A $10 plan if all you need is a couple of hundred manual lookups a month.
- Our crawler doesn’t run JavaScript, so it misses some single-page app frameworks and script-only widgets.
Where Tellstack fits
- An API on every plan: the free key has the whole API, and 10,000 lookups cost £49 against Wappalyzer’s $450 Business plan for 20,000.
- Bulk jobs and lists run on the same credits as single lookups, with no separate add-ons.
- The evidence behind each finding: the header, cookie, script, meta tag or DNS record.
- Watches on a technology, so you hear when a site you track adds it.
Switching
Our fingerprints share Wappalyzer’s old open format, so technology names and categories will mostly look familiar. Run a free key over a sample of the domains you already enrich and compare before you move a pipeline.
