The hard part of stack detection for insurtech companies

Read this if you need stack detection for insurtech companies and you would rather see the real options than a pitch. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Company Tech Stack Detection is the one that does this for insurtech companies.

The problem

Insurtech companies complicate stack detection, for a reason specific to them. Insurtech companies are brokers, carriers or software pretending to be one of the two, and the label rarely says which, and stack detection inherits that. On insurtech companies, stack detection rarely catches this: a broker and a carrier look identical from the homepage and buy nothing alike. There is 1 runnable example of stack detection for insurtech companies below.

Why it matters

Knowing that one of the insurtech companies already runs something you integrate with turns the pitch from an argument into a demonstration.

How we would run it

  1. Start with one of insurtech companies you already know, so a wrong stack detection answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run Company Tech Stack Detection across your list of insurtech companies, which carries 1 ready made setup for stack detection.
  3. Read ten rows of stack detection on insurtech companies by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

  • The regulator's firm register, for insurtech companies. Free, and it separates the broker from the carrier in one lookup.
  • 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.
