Looking to find out what tech powers a website or what companies are using X technology?

BuiltWith probably popped up as your go-to, and while it's a solid tool that’s been around forever, it's expensive and it can feel clunky and outdated.

Luckily, new tech lookup tools have stepped up, bringing more options with unique perks.

Here’s a quick breakdown of three popular alternatives for 2024: Wappalyzer, Ful, and AppRack.

Wappalyzer.com

Launched in 2008, Wappalyzer is an established player in the tech detection game, known for its massive dataset. It can identify thousands of technologies across millions of websites—everything from CMSs and eCommerce to analytics and infrastructure details.

Pricing: Starts at $250/month, with plans that scale up based on users and features. The “Pro” plan ($250) includes basic tracking, while “Business” ($450) offers more users, unlimited tracking, and API credits. Custom enterprise plans start at $850.

Who it’s for: Teams that need a big, reliable tech database, especially those wanting API or CRM integration to make tracking and data imports easier. The price might be steep for solo users, but it’s perfect for companies needing powerful insights.

Ful.io

Newer to the scene (founded in 2022), Ful.io is rapidly growing. It has a big database of over 300 million domains and 75,000+ technographic signals, covering all the basics like CMS, hosting, and more.

Pricing: Straightforward and affordable, with plans starting at $250/month for 2,500 credits, which includes full lookup features and responsive support.

Who it’s for: Great for small to medium businesses that need a robust tech database without the higher prices. It’s simpler than Wappalyzer but offers solid coverage for anyone looking to keep costs down without losing quality.

AppRack.io

Just launched in 2024, AppRack is a bit different. Instead of checking a site’s tech stack, it helps you find companies using specific tech, making it super useful for sales and marketing.

Pricing: Pay-as-you-go at $0.05 per record, so you’re only paying for the data you need. Perfect if you need flexibility and don’t want to commit to a monthly plan.

Who it's for: Ideal for teams focused on lead generation or outreach targeting companies by tech stack. It’s a budget-friendly option for gathering targeted leads and saves money by charging per record.
