Pricing: what you actually pay
For list building, TechPeeker costs 60% to 78% less than Wappalyzer. The gap is widest when you need more than two technologies, because Wappalyzer's Pro plan stops at two.
| What you need | TechPeeker | Wappalyzer | You save per year (monthly billing) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead lists for 1 to 2 technologies | Starter: $99/mo | Pro: $250/mo | $1,812 |
| Lead lists for any number of technologies | Starter: $99/mo | Business: $450/mo | $4,212 |
| Unlimited lists plus API access | Business: $149/mo | Business: $450/mo | $3,612 |
| Five or more people on one account | Enterprise: custom | Business: $450/mo (5 seats) | Depends on quote |
Both tools take about 17% off for annual billing; TechPeeker Starter is $980/year and Business is $1,480/year. Wappalyzer's plan credits expire after 60 days, so unused lookups don't carry over for long.
If a team of five needs its own logins, Wappalyzer Business can be the better deal. For one or two people building lists, TechPeeker is far cheaper.

Lead lists and exports
TechPeeker gives you more lists for less; Wappalyzer gives you outreach-ready emails.
Both tools build lists like "every Shopify store using Klaviyo" or "every site running HubSpot" and export them to CSV.
TechPeeker includes unlimited technology lists, unlimited keyword searches, unlimited leads per export and advanced filtering from the $99 Starter plan. You don't need to upgrade to add another technology to your targeting.
Wappalyzer lets Pro users slice one or two technologies into as many lists as they like. Building lists across any mix of technologies needs Business at $450/month. Its strength is what comes with the list: built-in email verification, so fewer bounces when you load contacts into a sequencer.
Checking one site at a time
Wappalyzer wins here, and it's the main reason people know the name.
Wappalyzer's browser extension shows a site's CMS, analytics, ecommerce platform, frameworks and more with one click while you browse. The free account adds 50 lookups and 50 email verifications a month, plus 5 website alerts.
If you mostly check sites one by one, Wappalyzer's free extension is hard to beat. If you check a site now and then, especially Shopify or WordPress sites, TechPeeker's dedicated theme and app detectors work in any browser with nothing to install.
API, contacts and CRM
API. TechPeeker's Business plan ($149/month) includes 25,000 API requests a month plus bulk lookup; see API access and the API docs. Wappalyzer lists included API credits from its Business plan (20,000 a month at $450). Those credits expire after 60 days, which hurts if your usage goes up and down.
Contacts. Wappalyzer adds email finding and verification, so you can go from a list of domains to verified emails in one tool. TechPeeker focuses on company and technology data, so you'd pair it with your usual email finder.
CRM. Wappalyzer connects to HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive on paid plans. TechPeeker connects through its API, so you can push data into any CRM, but it takes a bit of setup.

Switching from Wappalyzer to TechPeeker
Most teams can switch in an afternoon:
- Export your lists. Download any Wappalyzer lists you've bought before you cancel.
- Check coverage. Look up the technologies you target on TechPeeker's Browse by Technology page.
- Rebuild your lists. Recreate your key lists with the same filters, then compare a sample against your Wappalyzer export.
- Keep an email verifier. If you relied on Wappalyzer's email verification, add a standalone verifier to your outreach stack.
- Reconnect your CRM. Point your CRM or Zapier flow at TechPeeker's API.
- Cancel or pause Wappalyzer. Wappalyzer lets you pause a plan for up to three months, which is handy if you want a safety net while you test.
