Methodology, tested services & customer references
Companies checked: Atlassian (atlassian.com), Canva (canva.com), Shopify (shopify.com), Okta (okta.com), HubSpot (hubspot.com), Databricks (databricks.com), OpenAI (openai.com), Ramp (ramp.com), Stripe (stripe.com) and Airbnb (airbnb.com). We selected well-known technology companies often named in customer references, with roughly fewer than 15,000 staff and matching website and corporate domains. This is a selected sample, not a representative market survey.
The starting point: vendors’ own customer logos and case studies. A company logo, customer story or testimonial published by a service vendor supplied a reference pair: for example, Stripe named by BrowserStack becomes stripe.com × BrowserStack. We then checked whether each collected tool result named that vendor or a matching product.
The reference set contains 316 relationships from 207 vendors: 175 involving vendors in anvendor's catalogue, reviewed individually, plus 141 involving additional vendors. For the additional group, a named product belonging to the vendor counted. Three SendGrid references duplicated Twilio relationships and were excluded. BuiltWith’s comparison scores only Stripe’s 19 reference pairs; no BuiltWith results were collected for the other nine companies.
What the percentages mean. On competitor pages, found ÷ published reference pairs is positive-reference recall. There are no verified negatives, so this does not measure precision. References may be old, describe one team or favour prominent companies. The catalogue subset favours anvendor's coverage; the added vendors came from collected tool lists, so vendors no method reported are omitted. We build anvendor and did not independently verify paid contracts. Missing evidence does not establish non-use.
A separate category analysis: the visibility infographic starts with 714 anvendor findings across 266 distinct services at those ten companies, rather than the 316 published reference pairs. Each finding is classified by service category and checked for traces in website/DNS/infrastructure results, job signals, both or neither. Its percentages are shares of anvendor findings, not retrieval accuracy. BuiltWith covers Stripe only, Sumble its Tech Stack tabs; the collected surfaces do not represent every competitor's full product.
Pricing: 20 selected GitHub estimates use published plans and estimated usage or company size. Vendr's saved GitHub benchmark covers 984 purchases from a different population. The interval overlap provides context; no named company's invoice was checked. Results were saved at different times, rather than collected simultaneously.

Each name links to a vendor-published reference page. The CSV maps every company-service pair to its source; this list describes the reference set, not anvendor's entire catalogue or all technologies returned by competitors.

BuiltWith reads the technology a website exposes. anvendor detects company use of SaaS and business services, including tools used behind a login. For analytics, a CMS or a CDN, BuiltWith is the stronger fit. For a company's HR, finance, security or learning tools, the website is only part of the evidence.
What each tool sees
BuiltWith combines website fingerprints with other public signals, including its hiring-derived Operational Stack. Its technology history is useful for finding installations and removals. anvendor checks company-service use on demand and adds estimated adoption and annual spend where available; it does not provide a website stack or an installation timeline.
| BuiltWith | anvendor | |
|---|---|---|
| What it observes | Website scripts, tags, headers, DNS and other public signals | Company-service evidence found through live scans |
| SaaS behind a login | Some coverage through Operational Stack and other public evidence | Coverage includes CRM, HR, design, documents, ticketing, code hosting and storage |
| Depth inside a company | Technology presence and history; no company seat estimate in the reviewed result | Estimated adoption to help assess the scope of use |
| Spend figure | No vendor-specific spend range in the reviewed company profile | Estimated annual spend ranges from sourced plans and estimated usage; estimated rates labeled |
| Runs tool → companies | Yes — technology-filtered lead lists | Yes — find companies with evidence of using a competitor |
| Best at | Website technology prospecting and installation history | SaaS prospecting beyond website visibility, with live checks on demand |
Stripe: 266 technologies and 67 services
The saved BuiltWith profile for stripe.com listed 266 technologies; anvendor returned 67 services. Those are different units: BuiltWith includes website infrastructure and libraries. Of 19 vendor-published Stripe relationships, BuiltWith retrieved 3 and anvendor 11. Two were shared; together they retrieved 12. This is a Stripe comparison: BuiltWith was not collected for the other nine companies.
On real company domains
| BuiltWith | anvendor | |
|---|---|---|
| stripe.com · GitHub | Found | Found |
| stripe.com · BrowserStack | Not found | Found |
| stripe.com · Temporal | Found | Not found |
“Found” means the collected result named that vendor or a matching product. “Not found” means it was absent from that result, not that the company does not use it.
Published customer references: stripe.com · GitHub; stripe.com · BrowserStack; stripe.com · Temporal. These references supply the yardstick; the table reports our saved tool results.
BuiltWith's GitHub and Vercel matches came from Operational Stack or verified links, rather than page code. Treating BuiltWith as only a script scanner would miss that distinction.
How to read the results
We compared Atlassian, Canva, Shopify, Okta, HubSpot, Databricks, OpenAI, Ramp, Stripe and Airbnb against 316 customer relationships published by 207 vendors. Of these, 175 involve vendors in anvendor's catalogue and 141 involve vendors outside it. We reviewed matches individually for the first group; in the second, a named product of the vendor counted.
This measures how many published relationships each method retrieves, not precision or the complete stack. Customer references can be old, favour well-known companies and omit vendors none of the methods reported. We build anvendor; its detections were not independently verified as paid contracts. See the methodology, tested services and published reference links.
Which to use
- BuiltWith: website technologies, a broad domain index and installation history.
- anvendor: competitor customers and internal SaaS, with adoption and spend estimates.
Competitor use can signal a need in the category and help your team qualify a lead. It does not establish budget, dissatisfaction or intent to switch. Check the account against your ideal customer profile and identify a reason to reconsider before outreach. Spend ranges are estimates, not invoices or guaranteed deal sizes.
anvendor may reuse recent findings. Results less than 30 days old are treated as fresh; an already purchased result can be reopened without another charge. Choose Refresh to request a new paid live scan. Empty or failed checks return their credits.
Frequently asked questions
Is anvendor a BuiltWith alternative?
anvendor is an option for finding companies using competing SaaS, including usage hidden from website scanners, with live checks on demand. Compare coverage for the vendors you sell against. BuiltWith is the stronger fit for website technology detection, which anvendor does not provide.
Does anvendor show when a company started using a tool?
No. There is no adoption-history timeline. Every result carries the date it was observed, and a service anvendor stops finding for a company drops out of that company's results, but there is no installed-then-removed view.
Can I try anvendor without paying?
Yes. Discovering companies is unlimited and free on every plan. The Free plan includes 20 credits per 30 days. One credit buys one company analysis or one detected company-service lead; empty or failed checks are not charged.
