VersionDB vs Wappalyzer
Wappalyzer is the browser extension most people meet first. Its lead lists need a plan, and each plan measures list targets, lookups, verifications and API credits separately.
Wappalyzer pricing checked 22 September 2026 against their pricing page. Prices change, so check before you compare.
$250 buys one month of Wappalyzer Pro, or 42,500 complete rows from VersionDB.
Wappalyzer Pro gives one user two lead list technology targets, plus 5,000 single-website technology lookups and 5,000 email verifications a month. API credits and CRM enrichment start at Business.
At VersionDB the same $250 is a one-off export of up to 42,500 sites. Each row carries everything we have on that site: its full tech stack with versions, and the emails, phone numbers and social profiles the company publishes on its own website. You keep the file and nothing renews.

What VersionDB does differently
Just the leads, none of the overhead
Wappalyzer's plans bundle single-site technology lookups and email verifications, plus API credits and CRM enrichment from Business up. VersionDB only sells the lead list, so if leads are all you need, you are not paying for the rest.
Entry plan still limits you to two technology targets
Pro is $250 a month for two lead list targets. Unlimited targets start at Business ($450). Every VersionDB export can filter on up to 10, chosen from all 4,522.
One price per row, not four allowances
A Wappalyzer plan is measured in list targets, technology lookups, email verifications and, from Business up, API credits that expire after 60 days. Each runs out on its own. VersionDB charges per row, and a row is everything we have on that site.
No plan to take out
Wappalyzer needs a plan before you can access lead lists. A VersionDB export is a single payment, and the CSV is yours to keep.
Contacts in the same file
Emails, phones and social profiles arrive as part of the row. You can filter on them too, for example only companies with a personnel email, a free address like Gmail, a mobile number or a personnel LinkedIn profile.
Search is free
Searching VersionDB and seeing the exact match count costs nothing and needs no account. Wappalyzer's free tier is 50 technology lookups a month.
Wappalyzer is the better choice sometimes
- You primarily need to identify the stack on individual known sites (extension + lookups).
- You need verified email deliverability; we report what is published on the site and do not verify.
- You want an API for programmatic detection (Business and above).
- You need CRM enrichment (Business and above).
- You already live in the extension and the lists are secondary.
- You want the lead list and none of the surrounding tooling.
- You buy lists now and then. One month of Pro costs the same as an export of up to 42,500 complete rows, contacts included.
- You want to filter on up to 10 technologies per list, not two targets.
- You want a list without taking out a plan.
- You want contacts included in every row.
