USE CASE:
Proptech companies and the hard part of stack detection
Everything below is about one job: stack detection for proptech companies, done in a way that survives a list rather than a single lookup. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Company Tech Stack Detection is the one that does this for proptech companies.
The problem
Proptech companies complicate stack detection, for a reason specific to them. Proptech companies sit between agents, landlords and lenders, and each of those is a different sale, which shapes stack detection. What catches people out on proptech companies, stack detection included: the company you can see is often a marketplace whose customers are the businesses you actually want. There is 1 runnable example of stack detection for proptech companies below.
Traditional Search Tools
- The land registry, for proptech companies. Free in most markets, authoritative on ownership, and it will not tell you who runs the software.
- 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.
