SiteIntel vs Wappalyzer

FAQ
SiteIntel vs Wappalyzer — what is the difference?
Wappalyzer focuses on technology detection (extension + API). SiteIntel returns tech detection plus metadata, social profiles, public emails, and a screenshot in one API call, so it suits enrichment and lead-research features rather than tech detection alone. Both offer a way to try them first.
Does SiteIntel have a free tier?
Yes. SiteIntel offers a free tier (50 requests/month) on RapidAPI so you can test it before upgrading.
