USE CASE:
The hard part of stack detection for martech companies
What follows is the honest set of ways to get stack detection on martech companies, including the ones that are not ours. Mamba Labs builds the Apify actors named here, so Company Tech Stack Detection is something you run yourself against your own list of martech companies.
What is actually going wrong
Martech companies frustrate stack detection, for a reason specific to them. Start from this: martech companies run the loudest websites in software, because their own marketing is the product demo, and stack detection follows. Worth knowing about martech companies, since stack detection inherits it: their sites carry every tag under the sun, so a tech stack detector returns forty tools and no signal. Company Tech Stack Detection carries 1 ready made setup for stack detection on martech companies.
Why it matters
Detection sees the front end of martech companies and nothing behind a login, which is often exactly the part you care about.
Traditional Search Tools
- BuiltWith, for martech companies. Deep history on a noisy stack, and you pay for the depth.
- 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.
