### "Best tool for research "

September 29, 2022

3.0

Pros

It enables me to identify the type of softwares used by the accounts I am reaching out too

Cons

The authentication part makes the process time consuming. As when we start doing our research, we are on the go, and it would be great if you guys could consider removing the authentication process.

### "Easy way to filter your leads"

September 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

It makes it super easy to browse your lead's site while your on the phone and see the platform they are using, editions, and other tools. It;'s very easy to use and it leaves a good impression with your possible client that you are knowlgable on the subject. A great tool for sales personal who are not SUPER tech-oriented.

Cons

I wish there was a way that the main paltform (ex: Magento) would show up at the top instead of having to scroll down to find it.

### "My sales team is able to identify the technologies our potential clients are using before our demos."

June 2, 2018

4.0

Being able to identify the tech stack of a company before a demo and before prospecting allows my team to win more business by having relevant conversations from the start!

Pros

I love the new extension that connects to the new view of gmail. I love that we are able to get insights on the tech stack before we engage with prospects.

Cons

I don't have a lot of dislikes with Built With other than being 100% accurate but you won't find that in any solution.

### "Basic functionality is great"

July 7, 2021

4.0

It's a more basic tool, I would not rely on it for in depth tracking or super accurate information but it can certainly make prospecting easier and more personable.

Pros

It is really nice to be able to see what softwares or code a website has on their page by just using the plugin- It makes it really easy for SDR's to prospect into potential clients if they have an updated list of the technologies that company uses

Cons

There are some discrepancies in the data- It is not always as up to date and accurate as you would want it to be. Ex: there are certain websites we know for a fact use certain softwares/technologies but built with often misses it.

### "Understand Technology Stacks"

April 11, 2019

5.0

Pros

Helps you understand which technologies a company is using from their eCommerce platform to their email marketing provider and more.

Cons

It is not always 100% accurate but can provide good insights.

### "It's very expensive. Limited categories but yes the quality of data is good."

July 13, 2018

4.0

Sent an email campaign in the US and AU. It worked for me and my team, we got some conversions also.

Pros

There are enough filters to have the most customized data that can be. The quality of the leads is really nice. I hardly saw any spam or fake leads. For one data you can get leads in bulk also if you know how to use the tool.

Cons

Very expensive. I have hardly seen any tool in this section that is as costly as this. Plus it takes a lot of time to process the data you filter out.

### "Cost effective and easy to use"

October 4, 2022

3.0

Pros

The platform is good value for money and in some cases (but not all) provides accurate client lists.

Cons

Occasionally the data is inaccurate (out of date or switchboard numbers are offered rather than direct dials).

### "Fine what the site is made of, and more...."

February 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

My main use for BuiltWith is understading what platform a certain site is. I use this for website audit for my prospects and clients. Along the lines, I found that this tool offers more, and are also showing a lot of apps I can maximize from these sites I'm reviewing, which is totally cool for a website designer point of view.

Cons

None at the moment, because it satisfies my need for it.

November 14, 2020

5.0

Riche

Pros

Buildwith est facile d'utilisation et possède une base relativement riche de domaine URLs connectés sur les technologies de développement les plus utilisés comme PHP, Java, etc... même dans sa forme gratuite il nous a permi d'identifier 1 à 1 la techno de plus de 20 000 domaine URL dans notre base

Cons

La base préproposée dans la version acheté manquait de MAJ surtout pour les technologies de e-commerce comme magento, prestashop et odoo

### "Very powerful lead generation tool"

July 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

It is great for exporting custom fields such as Alexa ranking, technology used by thdm or revenue information for the prospects to CRMs. The data is accurate and it helps in lead generation and nurturing campaigns.

Cons

Subscription cost is high. Some of the details for contacts are not updated. Requires training to be able to use it, not at all an easy platfom.

### "I use datanyze to qualify accounts on and see what tools they are using"

February 28, 2018

3.0

Free searches on accounts is very useful when there is a full day of prospecting. I find it more reliable than datanyze due to it's unlimited amount of credits. There are useful customizable feature that other tracking tools dont have that can make accessing information very quick.

Pros

Builtwith's unlimited searches is very helpful. Being able to see what marketing automation a company has is very easy and pretty accurate. It makes double checking accounts very fast and effective. The customizable features like hiding descriptions and links make Builtwidth very fast when looking for specific tools on a website.

Cons

The accuracy of Builtwith is so so. I usually prefer datanyze for accuracy. Giving incorrect or missing information will make me sometimes overlook accounts that might be qualified. Also there is no dashboard telling company size or revenue that I can find. This can be hard to tell if it is completely accurate. Sometime Builtwith will not yeild any results and give me nothing to go off of while prospecting.

5.0

Pros

Builtwith is constantly updated with the current tech stack of a website which helps me gather more information about my prospects, understand their pain point and shape up my conversation accordingly.

### "Helps me prospect the right companies"

June 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

This software and add on has really helped me prospect the right companies by finding the marketing automation they currently use and the size and revenue of the company as well.

Cons

The view is not always accurate and it would be awesome if I could solely rely on to see what each company uses.

### "It helps me find the technology behind particular websites"

October 10, 2017

4.0

Pros

I go to BuiltWith whenever I need a lists of tools that dominate the particular category of software solutions. I also use it to lookup the websites that use certain web technologies. I like the market share information and country based analytics and filters. Database seems to be updated quite often.

Cons

Using it for lead generation is somewhat controversial, because it ends up with outbound sales approach to people who never requested it. It's quite expensive too.

### "Check out your competition's stack"

November 2, 2021

5.0

I'm using builtwith whenever I stumble upon an interesting website and when I know that normal tools, or rather my tech stack wont be enough to copy that website. I then paste the URL to check and get insights on what tools have been used. Then my research goes on and finally I get to know what to invest in next. Builtwith is pretty much familiar with all popular CMS, MArketing and other tools. Its a good app to almost spy on your competitor whenever you feel that you need to use the same design or features. I don't know why but I love finding out all tools of my competitors :))

Pros

\- detailed stack listing checked website - gives insights on tool - also gives information on domain details, like age, hosting

Cons

\- for free users it has limited lookups per day..but its nothing negative

### "Great Research Tool for Scoping Website Projects"

October 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

I use this browser extension almost every day, certainly each time I'm researching a prospect or competitor website. With one click you learn about the technology running on the target website. It's great to be able to quickly tell a prospect "Oh I see you're using wordpress with the Avada theme and there's a Facebook pixel so I'm guessing you run FB ads." It's impressive to the non-techy client and helpful in getting your bearings on a new client. I haven't used much of the options on their website, I just stick to quick glances on the browser extension.

Cons

Some websites block this app from reading the build. It doesn't offer whois lookups, which I think would be a good feature for this quick scan. Some features are paid.

### "The best available"

August 29, 2021

5.0

Pros

Within the bounds of what's possible BuiltWith gives an end user a fast way of seeing how platforms are built. I haven't used the lead generation functionality but it appears extremely slick

Cons

The jump from free to paid is steep which is definitely a turn off.

### "Built With is essential in helping us identify the existing MarTech a company is using."

February 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

Built with is dead simple. It's really as easy as clicking a button and know what you're looking for. By knowing the tech stack ahead of time, we can better position our selves as compliments to it.

Cons

Accuracy is about 85%, sometimes other software (like Datanyze) will catch things that Built With doesn't, specifically with Marketing Automation.
