BuiltWith Reviews & Product Details

Buildwith is an fantastic tool. It provides all the details about the technology behind a website. It is the first place I go when I am doing a site audit for my clients or to do a competitor analysis. One of the coolest features is the global trends. There you can see the breakdown about a specific technology.

I think the only thing I don't like is the price. Even though Buildwith is very powerful and there is no service like it, they should offer affordable price for small/medium companies what want to use the premium service.

I use Buildwith when I am doing an site audit. It provides the information I need every single time.

Builtwith technology profiler is my essential chrome add-on to audit technology-rich websites. It helps me uncover the technology stack implemented for digital marketing as well as the platform that supports the website. There is no trick or knowledge required. Simply hit the button and you will have a holistic report of the subject website. If you are working in an agency, you would love playing with the Reports feature, in which you can set particular technology and list up websites that are using it.

I would love to have a data export feature.

I'm using Builtwith to run a quick audit for the competitor study. It provides an overall understanding of the system behind the subject.

I love that I can use the free account and still be able to view which eCommerce platform the site may be on today. It helps us do a small amount of research prior to discussing an website with the merchant.

I can only view 5 detailed pages on the free account per day. As my pipeline grows, I could definitely see me upgrading to the paid version.

It's great to see some underlying softwares being used by eCommerce merchants. Even if the BuiltWith results may be slightly outdated, it helps us continue to ask the relevant questions right from the start of the conversation.

I like the browser extension that lets the tool immediately usable and also the possibility to do deeper searches with the premium account

In its premium version is a bit expansive

I used it in order to suggest possible integrations to my leads

The best thing about it is the training which they provide in the form of webinars and documentations.The software is very helpful in generating leads.It also helps in importing contacts.

Its tough to segment leads in this software.Also their customer support is not good.

I used it for my business development work.

The chrome extension of the tool is super cool. With just one click you get all the technologies a website has and it helps me prepare well for my call with the customer. By just looking at the data I am in a much better position to give the custom integration solution to my customer.

Sometimes it does not work on a couple of websites. I think it's because the websites are too new or I don't know.

The customer website identification.

The ability to get website analysis and technology trends can be used in other applications including improving the exisitng website or determine what technology gaps a website may have. Website developers are also able to ascertain the type of technology that was used to achieve various tasks and functions related to website designs and interfaces.

Using BuiltWith is free. However, there are other products associated with BuiltWith that offer additional features and also have a payment plan or pricing associated with these features. For instance, BuiltWith TrendsPro which is a research tool for sales teams and marketers , has a minimum monthly cost of $295 per month. User can get free technology usage statistics and information by using BuiltWith.but i belive feature might get limited in future because of this.

BuiltWith is an application that people can use to acquire information about the technology behind a website. The application also provides competitive analysis about each website. Structured like a search engine, users provide the name of a website, as a keyword or search term. Then BuiltWith provides backend details, analytics and business intelligence information for the specified website. Usage formation can also be provided by BuiltWith.

Relatively easy to get a list build up and running. If you've ever used any other web based tool you'll be able to figure it out. Have recently upgraded the interface once you get your lists built that include new options like CRM format export but I haven't had a chance to use many of those yet.

Once you build a list the way to export it isnt REALLY clear, its there but you have to dig a little bit.

Using it to pull lists of users of other products that our product compliments.

The plug-in extension made evaluating companies' websites super easy and efficient. Most of the time they had accurate information that allowed for me to leverage said information to create personalized outreach. When I was leveraging the builtwith platform, it allowed for me to confidently make statements regarding a companies software usage, thus being able to sell more specifically into that organization. Additionally, Builtwith provides historical data as well, so it serves as a great method of measure if they had previously been a client of my current company. I am a huge fan of the information and insights that Builtwith provides, and I would love to continue using builtwith. They have a google chrome extension that is absolutely fantastic and I have really enjoyed using it. I just hope that they can cleanup their current data exports so that BuiltWith can be used at scale.

The platform is very very expensive. Beyond that, the data outputs I get from the lists they generate is so unorganized that it is almost impossible for me to ingest it into my CRM. Its a whole lot of awesome data, but nothing I can really do with it since its so dirty. I struggle to understand why the output of builtwith cannot provide data in a clean and understandable fashion. Especially considering they leverage URLs, but then display obscure URLs in the exported data. Just simply pulling the companies name, rather than their URL to categorize them could be a very simple fix to this issue.

Understanding what softwares companies are leveraging that directly integrate with the offering we provide. BuiltWith has done a great job addressing these issues on a singular basis, ie. when I am on a companies specific website. But, when it comes to list generation, BuiltWith has created more problems than solutions, since they provide 0 integrations with outside platforms, and do not provide their data in a clean ingestible fashion.

Being able to see what technologies companies are using is great as an SDR. My main goal is to look for marketers who are using certain tools. When I see those tools, it gives me an indication they would be a good fit for the product my company is building.

I dislike the inability to run a report on a trial, it's easy to use on a surface level, but seems a bit harder to use on a deeper level.

Being able to see what competitive or complimentary software companies are using when visiting their websites. It's helped me resonate with prospects when reaching out.

I like that BuiltWith generally is more accurate than the competitive tools that I have used in my technology searches.

I dislike that there is no indication as to how much a company is spending on the technologies as it just shows what tech they use.

BuiltWith allows me to research companies with a click of a button rather than spending time on the web hunting down technology information.

It provides apt data based on the technologies used by the company

Other details of company like location headcount are sometimes not accurate

Able to find accurate information on companies based on technology used

Very reliable source for scraping technologies from websites

nothing, this tool is great. It's much more reliable than other tools I have used

lack of lead intelligence, lack of website intelligence

The accurate and up to date data regarding the platform that our prospects are utilizing

I wish I knew what ERP a company or WMS was on.

It has really assisted are Inside sales teams identify what E-commerce platform are prospects are utilizing. (Both Magento & Shopify are really big to us) Very useful

The intel I can leverage on a call about their tech stack and how we integrate with it.

That it doesn't pick up on everything or is sometimes wrong.

Contextualizing our outreach and making our pitch relevant to their current stack.

It's almost too easy to use and provides so much information with a simple click of the plug in. Almost always is correct.

Rarely this tool is inaccurate or misses tags.

Helps me identify the platforms that my clients are using so I can request the appropriate log in credentials since they rarely know what their site is running on. Makes communications much easier. Also I can see what tagging or markup they may have from previous versions of site development tools to help clean up their code.

Very easy to use, great tool with a very clear, useful purpose

CMS detection isn't always consistent, particularly with different version of Drupal.

Using the tool to identify technology platforms in use by competitors. Helps level set and establish better competitor research.

Generates the most crucial information for any website you need, be it the servers that are being used or meta-information related to the website !

The pricing is not very flexible and could be improved a bit !

I'm working on a startup with 5 engineers and we mostly use builtwith for profiling various information metrics that we feel are required at some or the other point and this tool suffices all our needs

The detailed tech stack up is perfect to understand websites

There are some websites which blocks builtwith and some technologies which isn't shown

finding competitor technologies deployed on a website

Since I do a ton of prospecting, Builtwith helps me open up conversations and identify worth while accounts of targeting. A lot of the time, tech stacks are hidden which makes it really hard to reach out to companies who might have an actual need for Datadog.

I dislike that some times the information is inaccurate.

I am trying to appropriately outreach to companies who are hosted in the cloud. To do this I need to have an understanding of what their tech stack is and what their company is built on so I can appropriately reach out for the right reason.
