Tech detection

Detect the stack. Synthesize the pitch.

Mama runs the same tech detection as BuiltWith and Wappalyzer — across 25,000+ tools, refreshed every 4 hours. The difference: she tells you what each stack means for your pitch. Adds, drops, ICP-fit signals — synthesized into the brief, not dumped as a list.

Categories Mama detects

The categories your buyer cares about.

We detect 25,000+ tools across 23 categories — but the brief surfaces the ones that change your conversation. Six categories drive 80% of the pitch-relevant signals across our data.

Analytics & data
2,847 tools
Amplitude Mixpanel Segment Snowflake Fivetran dbt + 2,841
Why it matters: Analytics swaps tell you the data team is rethinking the stack. Highest-converting tech change in our data.
Sales & CRM
1,420 tools
Salesforce HubSpot Apollo Gong Outreach Salesloft + 1,414
Why it matters: New CRM = new contract = open vendor doors. CRM migrations cluster other buying decisions around them.
Marketing & email
3,205 tools
HubSpot Marketing Mailchimp Customer.io Iterable Mutiny SendGrid + 3,199
Why it matters: Marketing infra changes signal growth investment. Best leading indicator of marketing-team build-out.
Infrastructure & DevOps
4,180 tools
AWS Vercel Cloudflare Datadog PlanetScale Stripe + 4,174
Why it matters: Infra additions signal scaling pain. Buyers for adjacent tools get triggered by stack expansion.
Customer experience
980 tools
Intercom Zendesk Plain Front Help Scout Crisp + 974

Change detection

The change is the signal. Not the snapshot.

BuiltWith and Wappalyzer take snapshots — useful, but every list looks the same after 90 days. Mama tracks the deltas. When a tool gets added, when one gets dropped, when a stack rewrite is underway — that's the moment your pitch matters most.

How Mama confirms a tech change

Three independent signals, or it doesn't ship.

A single source missing one scan is the most common cause of false-positive tech detection. Mama only flags a change after at least two of three independent methods confirm it — so the brief never embarrasses your rep.

1
Website tag scan
Looks for amplitude.com in script tags, network calls, and CDN paths across the public site. Detects front-end deployment.
✓ Detected · Apr 21
2
Job description scan
Parses public JDs for explicit tool mentions — "experience with Amplitude". Confirms internal adoption, not just a marketing-team experiment.
✓ 4 roles confirm
3
GitHub org scan
Checks public repos and package manifests for SDK imports — "@amplitude/analytics". Confirms production-level integration.
⚠ Org private — skipped
2 of 3 confirm — change shipped. Tag scan and JD scan agree; GitHub is private so we skip rather than guess. The brief notes "high-confidence change" with the two confirming sources cited.
Tech → pitch synthesis

The stack is the input. The pitch is the output.

Tech changes are raw data. Mama synthesizes them into a sentence your rep can actually paste — by cross-referencing with the company's stage, your ICP, and what tools cluster around each change.

Tech delta
Greenhouse Ashby
Rippling · ATS migration detected via JD posting changes · confirmed by 14 new "Ashby" mentions in careers pages over 4 weeks
In the brief

Rippling is mid-migration from Greenhouse to Ashby — confirmed by 14 new "Ashby" references in postings over the last 4 weeks. ATS swaps cluster with VP of People hires or TA leadership shifts — both worth checking before reaching out.

Right window to pitch: interviewer enablement, structured-interview training, hiring-team analytics. Adjacent tools usually get re-evaluated in the next 60 days.
Tech delta
Snowflake dbt Fivetran
Linear · 3 modern-data-stack tools added in 6 weeks · correlates with first-ever "Senior Data Engineer" hire posted in March
In the brief

Linear is building a modern data stack from scratch in Q2 — Snowflake + dbt + Fivetran all added over 6 weeks, immediately following their first Senior Data Engineer hire. The "we just hired a data engineer" moment.

Right window to pitch: BI tools (Hex, Mode, Metabase), reverse ETL (Hightouch, Census), data observability (Monte Carlo). They're about to make 3–5 tooling decisions in 90 days.
Tech delta
Pendo no replacement
Notion · Pendo last detected 1 week ago · no replacement product-analytics tool has appeared in any tag, JD, or GitHub scan
In the brief

Notion just removed Pendo with no replacement detected. Either evaluating alternatives now or rolling their own product-analytics layer. High-intent window — the decision is open right now.

Right window to pitch: Amplitude, Mixpanel, FullStory, PostHog. Stranded-tool windows close fast — usually a 2–3 week evaluation cycle. Reach out this week.
Honest head-to-head

vs BuiltWith. vs Wappalyzer. Three different jobs.

BuiltWith has the deepest tech database. Wappalyzer has the slickest free plugin. Neither was built for outbound. Here's the honest comparison, written by us — read it with that in mind.

BuiltWith has the deepest tech database. Wappalyzer has the slickest free plugin. Both are great at what they do. Mama is the only one that turns a tech change into a sentence your rep can paste into an email. Pick the tool for the job — sometimes that means all three.

Tech detection questions

What everyone asks about tech detection.

Specifically about how detection works — pricing details and brief mechanics live on their own pages.

Every detected stack is rescanned on a 4-hour rolling cadence. On Pro, you can trigger an on-demand refresh from the brief — useful when you've just seen a press release and want to confirm before reaching out. The brief always shows the exact "last scan" timestamp so reps know how fresh the data is. Cached briefs older than 24 hours auto-refresh on the next lookup.
Three methods working together. Website tag scan for anything exposed in HTML, script tags, network calls, or CDN paths. JD scan parses public job descriptions for explicit tool mentions ("experience with Amplitude") — this catches internal tools that never appear on the marketing site. GitHub org scan checks public repos and package manifests for SDK imports. Most enterprise tools that don't show in the website tag get caught by JD or GitHub. SPAs that load tools post-auth are the hardest to catch — for those we rely heavily on the JD signal.
We've been continuously scanning since launch. Solo plans see 30 days of change history; Team sees 12 months; Pro sees everything. The most useful window for outbound is the last 60 days — fresh enough that the buying decision is still open, old enough that you can see the trajectory. The stack timeline in the brief defaults to that window, with a toggle for longer history.
Honest answer: BuiltWith's basic tier is cheaper than ours ($295/mo for API access vs our $599/mo Pro), and Wappalyzer's API starts at $250/mo. If you only need raw tech detection data and don't care about brief synthesis or signal cross-referencing, BuiltWith is a fine choice. Mama charges more because we bundle tech detection with five other signal categories, the synthesis layer, the brief, the workflow integrations. We're optimized for outbound teams replacing 3–5 tools, not data analysts replacing one. Full pricing breakdown →
On Pro, yes. Define the tool's detection fingerprints — script tag patterns, package import strings, JD keyword patterns — and Mama starts tracking it across all accounts in your workspace. Useful for category-specific tools we haven't prioritized yet (compliance tools for fintech, specialized analytics for healthcare, etc.). On Solo and Team, drop us a request at [email protected] — we add new tools roughly every week, and customer requests jump the queue.
Yes — that's a major part of our roadmap. Programmatic /tech/[slug] pages for the top 500 technologies ship in the next few months, expanding to 25,000+ at maturity. Each page will show: who uses it, recent adopters, recent churners, alternatives, head-to-head comparisons, and a sample of companies in your ICP that recently changed their relationship to it. Same shape BuiltWith built their moat on, with the synthesis layer added.
The three-method verification (tag + JD + GitHub) is the main defense. A tool only enters the brief when at least two of three methods confirm it. When only one source detects a tool, we flag it as "single-source · low confidence" rather than hiding it — your rep sees both the signal and the caveat. If a customer disputes a detection we got wrong, we fix it within 24h and re-scan their workspace. Honest false-positive rate across our last 30 days: 0.7% of detected tools.
