USE CASE:

Telling which tools a business already pays for

If you need a way of telling which tools a business already pays for, this is the honest list of how stack detection gets done. The tools named are Mamba Labs Apify actors, run by you and priced per row, Company Tech Stack Detection included for stack detection.

The situation

Knowing a prospect already runs a CRM you integrate with changes the pitch from an argument to a demonstration. Knowing they run your competitor changes it again. Most of this is detectable from the website, and the detectable part is exactly the marketing stack, which is not always the part you care about.

Traditional Search Tools

  • BuiltWith. The reference dataset with history and reverse lookup by technology. Priced accordingly, and still the first place most people go.
  • Wappalyzer. Free as an extension, cheap as an API, shallower than BuiltWith on history. Fine for a live check on a single account.
  • Their integrations page. Companies list what they connect to. It is self reported, public, and frequently more accurate than any detector.
  • View source and check the DNS. Script tags, DNS records, the login subdomain. A minute per company for someone who knows what to look for, and the signatures are public.
