The caveats
Alert Commerce. Its scale figures differ between its own pages: 1M+ stores on About and 1.5M+ on Pricing, 1M contacts on one and 800K+ on the other. It calls itself a private beta while charging $199 a month, with a card required to start the trial. It names no founder or team beyond operators who have sold Shopify apps. It gives no address or jurisdiction for Alert Commerce, Inc. Every alert gives you a named person's email for outreach they did not ask for. So the consent question is yours, not theirs.
etailinsights. Nothing about the price is published. There is no pricing page, and both calls to action are a demo request or a trial signup. The terms put the figure on an order form and add 3% to card payments. That looks like an annual contract, not a card and a login. Coverage is the bigger question: 750 technologies is platform and stack level. Nothing on the public site shows detection of individual Shopify apps. So it is not shown to answer the question this category exists for: which stores run my competitor. It is worth listing only as a contact database for retail brands, some of which happen to be on Shopify.
