[ Book a call ](/book)[ See case studies ](/case-studies) 05 ## Questions people ask What is the difference between BuiltWith and TheirStack? BuiltWith detects technologies on websites, so it sees front-end and web tools with first and last detected dates. TheirStack reads job posts, so it sees tools companies hire for, including back-end ones with no web footprint, plus hiring signals. Which is cheaper to start with? TheirStack has a free tier with 200 API credits a month, then API plans from US$49 a month. BuiltWith plans start at US$295 a month, and API lookups use account credits bought separately, from US$99 for up to 2,000 on BuiltWith's in-app credit page. BuiltWith's free API endpoints cover basic lookups at 1 request a second. Prices verified 25 Oct 2026. Do BuiltWith or TheirStack have webhooks? TheirStack does: webhooks on saved searches fire on new jobs, closed jobs and new matching companies, and each record delivered costs credits. BuiltWith has no webhooks; it offers a WebSocket live feed of new detections on an active plan. Can I use BuiltWith or TheirStack with Claude or another AI agent? Yes. Both run official MCP servers: BuiltWith at `https://api.builtwith.com/mcp` with a Bearer key, and TheirStack at `https://api.theirstack.com/mcp` with OAuth or a key. Calls are billed in each vendor's credits. ## Related [![](/_astro/builtwith.BMJrfeKy_1l28Uz.webp)BuiltWith API review](/tool-directory/enrichment/builtwith)[![](/_astro/theirstack.Cfe10y4N_8kqxG.webp)TheirStack API review](/tool-directory/signals/theirstack)[![](/_astro/exa.rOWjsHOa_Z14cerW.webp)![](/_astro/theirstack.Cfe10y4N_8kqxG.webp)Exa vs TheirStack](/tool-directory/compare/exa-vs-theirstack)[![](/_astro/predictleads.M8zXWdNb.svg)![](/_astro/theirstack.Cfe10y4N_8kqxG.webp)PredictLeads vs TheirStack](/tool-directory/compare/predictleads-vs-theirstack) Read from [builtwith.com/plans](https://builtwith.com/plans), [theirstack.com/en/pricing](https://theirstack.com/en/pricing) and each tool's API docs.
