BuiltWith Pricing 2026 : Real Cost vs Listed $295/month Plans

BuiltWith implemented massive 2026 price increase (~6× across all tiers). New ladder : Basic $295 (was $50 + per-tech model), Pro $495 (was $200), Team $995 (was $400), Team Ultra $6,000 (was $600-2,000). Single-site Chrome extension free. ~114,000 technologies tracked, historical data since 2007 - still category-leading depth but premium positioning now.

✓ Pick BuiltWith if
  • Your motion is tech-defined ICP (e.g., 'all sites using Shopify Plus') and you need 700K+ tech coverage
  • You need historical tech adoption data (since 2007) for competitive analysis or churn signals
✕ Skip if
  • You only need 1-2 tech signals at low volume - Wappalyzer ($249/mo) or free Chrome ext alternatives
  • You need IT spend per account (not just tech presence) - HG Insights better fit but 10-50× more expensive
Price transparency 10/10
Value at small team 3/10

BuiltWith vs Derrick · price for the same credit volume
ⓘ
Heads up - Derrick is a data layer, not a sequencer. It enriches contacts (email, mobile, company, signals) in its web app (or Google Sheets, Claude, API). If you also need cold-email sequencing, dialer or CRM workflow, you'll keep your existing stack (La Growth Machine, Lemlist…) - Derrick replaces only the data-enrichment line of your BuiltWith bill.

Credits

How BuiltWith counts lookups and exports

BuiltWith bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.

Single-site lookup FREE (Chrome ext)
Tech filter (lead list) Per-filter pricing on Basic
Results per filter 5K (Basic) / 50K (Pro) / 250K+ (Enterprise)
API access Pro+ only
Historical data (since 2007) Enterprise only
Contact data (email, phone) Bundled but weaker than Apollo/Cognism
Read the full credit-system breakdown

BuiltWith's pricing is per-tech-filter on lower tiers and unlimited on Enterprise. Basic at $50/month tracks 1 technology - useful for niche outbound ("all sites on Klaviyo") but limiting for broader stacks. Pro at $200/month tracks multiple filters and is the typical entry for active lead-gen workflows. Enterprise tiers ($400-$2,000+/month) unlock historical data, daily refresh, and multi-user workspaces.

The free single-site lookup tool (via Chrome extension or web form) is genuinely useful - anyone can look up any website's tech stack one at a time, no signup required. It's a lead-gen funnel for the paid lead-list product.

Hidden costs

Hidden costs to know before buying BuiltWith

Things BuiltWith's pricing page doesn't put in big type.

~114,000 technologies tracked (unmatched depth)

BuiltWith tracks ~114,000 technologies - by far the largest tech-stack database. Wappalyzer ~3K, HG Insights focuses on enterprise. For niche tech ICPs (e.g., 'sites using both Klaviyo + Recharge'), BuiltWith is the only tool that can deliver.

Historical adoption data since 2007 (unique)

Enterprise tier unlocks historical tech adoption back to 2007. See when company adopted/dropped specific tech. For trend analysis + competitive intelligence + churn signals, irreplaceable. No competitor in 2026 matches this depth.

Per-tech-filter pricing on Basic ($50/tech)

Basic at $50/mo tracks ONE technology. Multi-tech ICP requires stacking subscriptions OR upgrading to Pro. For 3+ tech filters, Pro ($200) cheaper than 3 × $295 Basic = $150.

Free Chrome extension = best evaluation in category

BuiltWith's free single-site lookup tool is industry-standard - used by millions monthly. No signup, no limits on one-site-at-a-time lookups. For one-off competitive research, no paid tier needed.

Bundled contact data WEAKER than Apollo / Cognism

BuiltWith offers contact data (email, phone) bundled in lead lists - but data quality materially weaker than dedicated providers (Apollo, Cognism, ZoomInfo). For serious outbound, BuiltWith for tech signal + Apollo/Derrick for contact data.

Read the full hidden-costs analysis

What the pricing page doesn't show

The Basic tier's "1 tech filter" is more restrictive than it sounds - many useful queries combine 2-3 technologies (e.g. "Shopify + Klaviyo + Yotpo") which forces Pro tier. Historical data (tech adoption + churn over time) is locked to Enterprise tier - a significant differentiator versus Wappalyzer that doesn't show up in the pricing table. API access gates to Pro and above. Result caps per tier matter at scale - exhausting 50K results on Pro forces upgrades.

Detailed comparison + cost-per-action breakdown

Side-by-side : BuiltWith versus Derrick App on the cost lines that drive total spend, not just the headline tier price :

DimensionBuiltWithDerrick App
Pricing entry $50/month (1 tech filter) Free plan · from €20/month
Technologies tracked 700K+ Via integrated providers
Historical adoption data Since 2007 (unique) N/A
Bundled contact data Included but weaker quality Derrick search + enrich
Outbound automation Not included - data only N/A
Free single-site tool Yes (industry reference) Pair with Sheets

BuiltWith wins on tech-stack signal depth and historical data - no competitor in 2026 matches it. Apollo and Cognism win on contact-data quality. Derrick is the enrichment layer (web app, Sheets, Claude, API) that pairs with BuiltWith for tech-defined ICP workflows.

What's included

What's included in every BuiltWith plan

What you actually get on BuiltWith's paid tiers (synthesised from real-user G2 + Capterra reviews) :

  • Deepest tech detection in the category - ~114,000 technologies tracked is materially more than Wappalyzer's ~3K or HG Insights' enterprise focus. For niche technology targeting (specific Klaviyo apps, payment processors, build tools), BuiltWith is the only tool that surfaces them at scale.
  • Historical tech adoption data unique to BuiltWith - The platform tracks technology adoption and churn since 2007. You can find companies that recently switched from Mailchimp to Klaviyo, or sites that just installed Stripe - high-signal triggers for outbound timing.
  • Free single-site tool is a brilliant funnel - Anyone can look up any website's full tech stack for free, no signup. The tool is so useful that it's become the de-facto industry reference for "what's this site running" - and it converts curiosity into qualified leads for the paid product.

The verdict

Is BuiltWith worth paying for? Our verdict

Pick BuiltWith if…

  • Your motion is tech-defined ICP (e.g., 'all sites using Shopify Plus') and you need 700K+ tech coverage
  • You need historical tech adoption data (since 2007) for competitive analysis or churn signals
  • Your volume fits within Basic (1 tech) or Pro (multiple techs) tiers

Skip BuiltWith if…

  • You only need 1-2 tech signals at low volume - Wappalyzer ($249/mo) or free Chrome ext alternatives
  • You need IT spend per account (not just tech presence) - HG Insights better fit but 10-50× more expensive
  • You need high-quality contact data - BuiltWith's contact bundle is weaker than Apollo/Cognism

Pick Derrick instead if…

  • You need to enrich BuiltWith's tech-filtered company lists with contact data - Derrick from €20/month
  • You want phone + email + firmographic enrichment on top of tech signal (BuiltWith contact data weaker)
  • Your team wants the enrichment layer in a web app with nothing to install, or in Sheets, Claude and the API
Try Derrick free →

BuiltWith is the right tool for sales teams whose ICP is defined by technology adoption - Shopify merchants, HubSpot customers, companies running specific stacks. The detection depth (~114,000 technologies) and historical data (since 2007) are genuinely unique and no competitor matches them. The platform fails as a general enrichment tool - contact data quality lags Apollo, and the per-tech-filter pricing punishes complex ICPs. For its core ICP - tech-defined outbound at scale - BuiltWith is the only tool deep enough to do the job, and the $495/mo Pro tier is reasonable value. The free single-site lookup remains the best industry-reference tool for ad-hoc "what's this site running" curiosity.

How much does BuiltWith cost?

+

BuiltWith starts at $295/month (Basic tier - 1 tech filter · 5,000 results · monthly refresh). Higher tiers scale to $600-$2,000+/month (Enterprise (Tier 2-3)). For a credit plan whose unused credits roll over, Derrick App starts at 20 EUR/month for 10,000 credits spent in the web app, Google Sheets, Claude or the API.

Is BuiltWith free?

+

BuiltWith's free tier provides Free single-site lookups - useful for evaluation but rarely enough for production use. Paid plans start at $295/month. For a genuinely free entry point, Derrick App offers a free tier with 100 credits/month.

What's the real total cost of ownership for BuiltWith?

+

BuiltWith's headline price ($295/month) is the floor. The Basic tier's "1 tech filter" is more restrictive than it sounds - many useful queries combine 2-3 technologies (e.g. "Shopify + Klaviyo + Yotpo") which forces Pro tier. Historical data (tech adoption + churn over time) is locked to Enterprise tier - a significant differentiator versus Wappalyzer that doesn't show up in the pricing table. API access gates to Pro and above. Result caps per tier matter at scale - exhausting 50K results on Pro forces upgrades.

How does BuiltWith pricing compare to Derrick?

+

BuiltWith starts at $295/month (per-tech filter) and scales with usage + seats. Derrick App runs on credits : a free plan with 100 a month, then 10,000 for 20 EUR, spent row by row in the web app, Google Sheets, Claude or the API, and what you do not use rolls over. For sales teams targeting tech-stack icp that don't need the full tech stack intelligence platform feature surface, Derrick is the lower-friction comparison anchor.

Are BuiltWith credits / seats / tiers flexible?

+

Tier-by-tier flexibility on BuiltWith depends on the plan. See the plans table above for per-tier credit caps, seat counts, and upgrade triggers. Annual billing typically saves ~15-30% versus monthly across the category. The free tier (Free single-site lookups) is genuinely free, but caps usage tightly.

What's the cheapest BuiltWith alternative for solo / SMB use?

+

For web app or spreadsheet workflows, Derrick App from 20 EUR/month is the most direct lower-cost alternative. For broader B2B database access at low entry cost, Apollo has a generous free tier (10K credits/month). For pure email finding, Hunter starts at €34/month. See the full BuiltWith alternatives guide for the ranked decision framework.
