# BuiltWith review (2026): is the free plan enough?

> Find which websites use a given technology, and build lists

Checked Nov 12, 2026 · graded Nov 12, 2026 by ToolGPA.

BuiltWith tracks the technologies that websites use and lets you search that data in reverse: list the sites running a particular platform, tool or keyword, then export the results with business contact names, emails and titles where publicly listed. Single-site lookups are free. Paid plans add list reports, usage alerts, trend history and CRM integrations.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: D.** $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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Single-site lookups are free. The lists and exports are not, and there's no free plan for them.
- **Features: C.** Technology lists, contacts, alerts, trends and spend data. Basic is limited to 2 technologies, 2 keywords and 2 retail reports.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You have to know what to search for and how to build the list.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with six integrations including CRM and AI agent connections.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A library of papers and sources to search.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics 365 among them, and has an API.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
