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.
Winning Hunter. The store side is what you would pay for, and it is the least documented part. The app filter is a substring match on app names. There is no published count of apps it recognizes, or of how often a store is rescanned. The revenue figures are estimates with no method attached. Everything else is priced for ad research you will not use. The 500k+ users and 5M+ stores are its own figures. There is a free trial that takes no card. So the app filter can be tested against a competitor whose installs you already know before paying.
