Why teams pick Derrick over BuiltWith and Wappalyzer
3 core reasons SDRs and ops teams switch to Derrick. Click to expand each.
01
Skip the dashboard - enrich straight from formulas
＋
Derrick is a web app, nothing to install: import your list, enrich it, and each column populates inline. The same enrichment runs in the web app (and in Google Sheets, Claude and the API), Claude (MCP) and the API. No platform-switching, no CSV round-trip.
02
Transparent pricing : free plan, then €20/month
＋
BuiltWith ($295/month (Basic)) and Wappalyzer ($250/month) follow the SaaS-standard model : tier the features, cap the credits, upsell when you outgrow it. Derrick works the other way round : one credit balance, six plans from 0 to 320 EUR a month, and unused credits roll over on the paid ones. Predictable spend for teams that hate budgeting around credit-pool refills.
03
Plug Derrick into Claude / ChatGPT via MCP - no glue code
＋
In 2026 an AI agent has to be able to call your data tool directly. Derrick speaks MCP out of the box: point Claude or ChatGPT at your sheet, ask it to enrich 200 LinkedIn URLs with mobile numbers, and it runs. The REST API covers the unattended path for a CRM workflow or a nightly job, and both the API and MCP are included from 47.50 EUR a month (Plus plan), not held back for an enterprise contract. BuiltWith and Wappalyzer need either a custom integration or a middleman like Zapier for the same workflow.

"This app saved me so much time and effort. Great for anyone looking to build a contact list or network at scale quickly. As a start-up it's been invaluable."
Alex Clark
Director | SaaS GTM Leader
"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."
David Sire
Mortgage Broker at Zero Point Mortgage
"Derrick is a very simple and user-friendly app to enrich your contacts database. Best thing: you can test it for free. And then the price is so low, it's a no brainer."
Etienne Grange
CEO Form'actions
"I have been using other expensive apps or freemium like phantombuster, but Derrick has replaced them all. I love the simplicity of the Google sheet add-in, but what is best is the efficiency it delivers."
Julien Walon Cohen
CEO & Co-founder @ Diffly | B2B Sales Advisor
"Super easy to enrich linkedin urls using this tool. Both personal and company url data can be easily enriched with a click of a button."
Zaid Bilal
RevOps Professional
"Amazing Tool, I would like to advocate this to my colleagues. So that you can get more users. Keep it Up. 5 Stars!"
Asif Hanzala
Lead Generation Specialist at IdeaPeel
"The LinkedIn scraping and email finder combo is incredibly powerful. I can build a complete prospect list with contact info in under an hour. Absolute must-have for outbound."
Michael Kim
SDR Team Lead at CloudScale
"This app is fantastic. Brilliantly created to help small and mid sized businesses."
Dan Hughes
Founder/CEO, AlmanacIO
"Have tested over 10+ LI scraper apps, Derrick beats them all. Simple to use, accurate data, and affordable price."
The two tools answer the same question with different collection mechanics, and that is the real deciding factor. BuiltWith builds its picture from scheduled recrawls of the web, so it is strongest on large, stable lists of widely deployed front-end technologies and it carries adoption history back to 2007. Wappalyzer detects the stack at page load through a browser extension, so its reading of client-side technology is fresher but it covers roughly 3,000 technologies against 700K+ on the BuiltWith side. Both under-detect back-end and very recent products, which is why a technographic filter should never be your only targeting signal. Derrick sits at a different layer: it fills the company and contact columns of a sheet you already have, from €20 a month, with a free plan at 100 credits a month.
How do BuiltWith and Wappalyzer pricing actually compare in 2026?
+
BuiltWith entry-paid tier : Basic at $295/month. Next tier up is Pro ($495/month). BuiltWith's free tier : Free single-site lookups. Wappalyzer entry-paid tier : Starter at $250/month. Next tier up is Pro ($450/month). Wappalyzer's free tier : Free Chrome extension. For comparison : Derrick App runs on a single credit balance per plan, starting free with 100 credits a month and 20 EUR for 10,000, spent in the web app, Google Sheets, Claude or the API.
What's the biggest reason to pick BuiltWith over Wappalyzer?
+
Breadth of detection and history. BuiltWith tracks 700K+ technologies against roughly 3,000 for Wappalyzer, and it holds adoption data going back to 2007, so a query like "sites that dropped this payment processor in the last 18 months" is answerable there and not elsewhere. That breadth comes from scheduled recrawls, which is also its limit: back-end technologies and very recently launched products are frequently missed. Entry pricing is $295 a month on Basic, $495 a month on Pro.
What's the biggest reason to pick Wappalyzer over BuiltWith?
+
Freshness and zero friction. Wappalyzer reads the stack at page load through a browser extension, with no signup for single lookups, so what you see reflects the site as it is served today rather than the last recrawl. The trade-offs are coverage and volume: roughly 3,000 technologies tracked, a free tier capped at 50 lookups a month, and paid entry at $250 a month. For one-off checks while browsing, the friction is close to zero; for list-scale targeting, the cap is what you hit first.
Can Derrick replace both BuiltWith and Wappalyzer?
+
Yes, for the job most sales and RevOps teams actually run. Derrick reads the technologies on any website for 2 credits per site. The plan that unlocks Website Technologies opens at 20 EUR a month for 10,000 credits, and the free plan gives you 100 credits a month at zero cost to test it on your own domains first. What changes the economics is where the answer lands: Derrick reaches you through four doors, and every one of them carries the same data. The Google Sheets extension enriches a list column by column. The MCP server answers inside Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client, so you can ask for a stack in the middle of a conversation. The REST API runs the same lookup unattended inside a CRM workflow, and it is included from 47.50 EUR a month (Plus plan) rather than gated behind an enterprise tier. A web app arrives very soon for teams who would rather not open a spreadsheet at all. If your requirement is a historical archive of technology adoption going back two decades, that is a different product category and you should buy it as one.
How do I test a tech-stack tool before I commit to a plan?
+
Run your own list, not the vendor's demo. Take 50 domains you actually sell to, push them through each candidate, and count three things. First, the fill rate: how many of the 50 come back with a stack at all, because a tool that tracks a hundred thousand technologies but misses your segment is worth less than one that covers it. Second, the freshness: check a handful of sites you know changed recently, and see whether the reading reflects today or the last scheduled recrawl. Third, what happens after the detection, because a technology name is not a lead. Ask whether the tool hands you the contact behind the domain or expects you to bring your own, and whether it can run without a human clicking export. A vendor-published coverage number tells you far less than your own 50 rows do. With Derrick you can do exactly that on the free plan, 100 credits a month, and Website Technologies costs 2 credits per site, so a 50-domain test runs on the free tier.
