Comment on This startup tells you when companies try your competitors’ software

I wonder how different this is from what https://builtwith.com is doing?

Seems to be much the same, but with a slightly more b2b marketing element and higher pricing with less data! Have used builtwith before and was very happy with their monthly ($299) plan. If anything I'd expect a competitor to offer lower prices.

It sounds like they're focused on the deltas ("site x just added y") whereas builtwith seems more focused on stats and what sites are using now.

probably not much beyond how they are marketing it.

And the fact that BuiltWith is free.

If want to check an individual site, if is free. But if you want to set up monitors across a swath of sites and technologies, they have plans priced from $295-995/mo. https://builtwith.com/plans

I think the biggest difference is that BuiltWith cannot tell when somebody started to use your competitor YESTERDAY. By the time they report it, it's already too late.

Another thing is Datanyze is more enterprise oriented (Salesforce integration, People/Company information, etc)

Hi nice article congrats on the coverage - we do have this functionality for anyone interested - http://trendspro.builtwith.com/pro-features#alerts

Mixrank(YCS11) provides very similar data in addition to their ad and mobile app datasets.
