At a glance
Here is where 1Lookup wins against Wappalyzer, and where Wappalyzer still wins.
Both tell you what a website is built with. Wappalyzer is the technology lead platform: monthly plans with a lookup allowance, lead lists of the companies that use a tool, website alerts and an API whose credits appear on the plan table from Business up. 1Lookup is one live call: the site's CMS, shop platform, analytics, marketing tools, hosting and frameworks with versions, detected from its headers, HTML and DNS when you ask, plus the email provider from MX, at a flat credit price on a balance that also pays for phone, email and company lookups.
- About $0.005 a site that answers on Starter, 90% below Wappalyzer's $0.05 on Pro, and nothing for a blocked or missing site
- Every lookup read live at the same price, where a live-only result counts as 5 lookups on Wappalyzer's lookup page
- The API on every plan, with credits that roll over for 3 months instead of expiring after 60 days
- The email provider from MX kept apart from the services DNS verification records name, and versions where the site shows them
What it costs
From $2.00
per 1,000 tech stack lookups; $4.95 on Starter
- Lead lists of the companies that use a technology, with a free sample before you buy, which a one-site lookup cannot build.
- Cached results it says were verified within the last 30 days, and a bulk upload of up to 100,000 websites in a CSV or TXT file.
- Website alerts that say when an account adds or removes a technology.
- A free account with 50 lookups a month, and a browser extension.
What it costs
$250 a month for 5,000 technology lookups on Pro ($0.05 a lookup; arithmetic, not printed)
Short answer
Wappalyzer sells monthly plans: Pro $250 for 5,000 technology lookups ($0.05 each), Business $450 for 20,000 lookups and 20,000 API credits, and Enterprise from $850 for 200,000+. On its lookup page a live result counts as 5 lookups. 1Lookup's Tech Stack Lookup costs 1 credit per site that answers, every lookup live, about $0.005 on Starter or $4.95 per 1,000. Wappalyzer does what 1Lookup does not: lead lists and alerts.
Look up a website's tech stack for $0.005, 90% below Wappalyzer's $0.05.
The same answer for each site: its CMS, shop platform, analytics, marketing tools, hosting and frameworks, with versions. A site that blocks the check, does not exist or does not answer costs nothing.

What replaces what
Here is which 1Lookup product matches each Wappalyzer job.
Wappalyzer counts one lookup per website against a monthly allowance, and a live result counts as 5 on its lookup page. 1Lookup counts one website, always read live, billed in credits only when the site answered with its home page, and nothing for a site that blocks the check, a name that does not exist or a site that does not answer.
Side by side
Both products are measured on the same criteria, using Wappalyzer's own published numbers.
| Criteria | ||
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Monthly plans with universal credits; core phone, email and IP lookups cost 1 credit, enrichment and intelligence products cost more | Monthly plans with a technology lookup allowance: Pro $250 a month for 5,000 lookups, Business $450 for 20,000 lookups and 20,000 API credits, and Enterprise from $850 for 200,000+. The pricing table shows included API credits from Business up. Plan API credits expire after 60 days. On the lookup page, live results only count as 5 lookups each. |
| Starting price | $99/mo for 20,000 credits. At 1 credit each (Tech Stack Lookup API), that is $4.95 per 1,000 tech stack lookups on Starter, down to $2.00 on Enterprise. | $250 a month for 5,000 technology lookups on Pro ($0.05 a lookup; arithmetic, not printed). |
| Free option | Free single lookups via the online tools at 1lookup.io/tools, no account required | A free account: 50 lookups and email verifications a month. |
| Free trial | 7-day free trial on every plan: $5 of credits on Starter, $20 on Growth, Professional, and Enterprise, with no payment today | No separate trial: the free account is the way to try it. |

A real result
This is what one 1Lookup result looks like.
Send a domain
POST a domain, a web address or an email address. It is cut down to the site's host name. An IP address or a private name is refused with a clear error and costs nothing.
We read the home page and DNS at once
1Lookup asks for the home page once and queries MX, TXT, NS and the www CNAME at the same time, with 10 seconds and 2 MB for the page. Internal addresses are refused, redirects included.
Get the stack, flat and grouped
Every technology arrives with its version, group and where it was seen, in one JSON payload. A site that answered bills 1 credit; a blocked or missing site bills nothing.
One call turns a domain into the stack its site runs on

Here are Wappalyzer and 1Lookup side by side on the terms you check before you sign.
The terms that decide what a year actually costs, rather than what the first month does. “Not listed” means we could not verify it on either product’s published pages, not that the answer is nothing.
| Term | 1Lookup | Wappalyzer |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum commitment | None. Monthly plans with no contract and no minimum volume; cancel any time | Not listed |
| API access | Included on every plan and during the free trial; there is no tier that unlocks it | The pricing table lists included API credits on Business (20,000) and Enterprise (200,000+). |
| Rate limit | 200 requests per 10 seconds for each API key on standard lookups and 1,000 requests a minute for each key on number type, HLR and MNP, and each account can make up to 1,000 requests a minute in total across all its keys; higher limits are available on request | Not listed |
| Support | Starter: Email Support; Growth: Priority Email & Chat Support; Professional: Chat + Live Meeting; Enterprise: Dedicated CSM | Not listed |
This is the Wappalyzer fine print worth reading twice.
Published terms that change what Wappalyzer costs or what you can do with it. Each one links to the Wappalyzer page it was read on, because a claim about somebody else’s contract should be checkable in one click.
Live results only count as 5 lookups each on the lookup page.

Questions
People ask these questions before they switch from Wappalyzer.
How does Wappalyzer pricing work?
Monthly plans with a technology lookup allowance: Pro $250 a month for 5,000 lookups, Business $450 for 20,000 lookups and 20,000 API credits, and Enterprise from $850 for 200,000+. A free account has 50 lookups a month. API credits included in plans expire after 60 days. Checked October 2026.
How much does 1Lookup charge for the same lookup?
1 credit per site that answers, free when the site blocks the check, does not exist or does not answer. On the Starter plan ($99 a month for 20,000 credits) a site is about $0.005, which covers 20,000 lookups a month and is $4.95 per 1,000. At the Enterprise end of the rate card it is about $0.002.
Is 1Lookup cheaper than Wappalyzer?
Yes at every printed volume. Wappalyzer's Pro plan is $0.05 a lookup and 1Lookup's Starter price is about $0.005, 90% less. At 20,000 lookups a month Wappalyzer's Business plan is $450 and 1Lookup's $99 Starter plan covers the same 20,000. At 200,000 a month Wappalyzer starts at $850 and 1Lookup's Professional plan is $799.
Are the lookups live on both?
Every 1Lookup lookup reads the site when you ask, at the same price. Wappalyzer recommends cached results it says were verified within the last 30 days, and on its lookup page a live-only result counts as 5 lookups.
Which plan includes the API?
On 1Lookup the API is on every plan, the trial included, on the same key and credits as the dashboard. On Wappalyzer's pricing table, included API credits are listed from the $450 Business plan up, and they expire after 60 days.
Where does Wappalyzer beat 1Lookup?
On lists and alerts. Wappalyzer builds lead lists of the companies that use a technology, with a free sample before you buy, alerts you when an account changes its stack, takes up to 100,000 websites in one upload, and has a free account and a browser extension. 1Lookup reads one site at a time, today, and does not sell lists.
When is a 1Lookup tech stack lookup free?
When the site blocks the check (a 401, 403 or 429 answer, or a bot challenge page), when the name does not exist, when the site has no home page, and when it does not answer in time. Each costs 0 credits. Only a site that answered with its home page is billed.
What is the best Wappalyzer alternative?
If you want lead lists, alerts or a browser extension, Wappalyzer is the fuller tool. If you want every lookup live at one price, the API on every plan, credits that roll over for 3 months and nothing charged for a blocked site, 1Lookup's Tech Stack Lookup is about $0.005 a site.
Is Wappalyzer worth it in 2026?
Yes if you use its lead lists and alerts. If you mostly look up the stacks of sites you already have, compare the price per lookup: $0.05 on Pro against about half a cent on 1Lookup, live every time.
