BuiltWith report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for lists of sites using a technology
BuiltWith tells you which websites use a given technology and builds lists from that, and one-off site lookups are free. But paid plans start at $295 a month with nothing cheaper, and the first plan covers only 2 technologies.
Who BuiltWith is for
- Fits if you sell to companies that use a particular platform
- Works for agencies hunting sites on a given tool
Who BuiltWith is not for
- Pricey if you're one person, since the first paid step is $295 a month
- Tight if you want breadth: Basic allows 2 technologies and 2 keywords
- Skip it if you only want a contact finder, because it lists sites, not people first
- Watch out: the minimum term is 1 year on yearly plans, and the yearly price wasn't shown on the page
Why BuiltWith gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$295 a month on Basic, about six times the $49 middle of lead-finding tools, with the dearest tenth starting at $99. It's a different kind of data, but there's no cheaper step.
- CFree plan and trialSingle-site lookups are free. The lists and exports are not, and there's no free plan for them.
- CFeaturesTechnology lists, contacts, alerts, trends and spend data. Basic is limited to 2 technologies, 2 keywords and 2 retail reports.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You have to know what to search for and how to build the list.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with six integrations including CRM and AI agent connections.

Keep BuiltWith, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace BuiltWith you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 49 other lead and email finders grade higher. It costs $3,540 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics 365 among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. BuiltWith’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
