The caveats
BuiltWith. Its Shopify detail stops one level above where an app vendor works. Its own Shopify page breaks the platform into products and more than 40 themes, and lists no individual app detection anywhere. This category exists for one question: which stores run my competitor. Store Leads answers it with 8,127 tracked apps and install dates, and this does not appear to answer it at all. Price is the other half: $295 a month is the floor, against $75 for Store Leads and $49 for StoreInspect Pro. That tier buys 2 technologies, 2 keywords and 2 reports, unlimited anything starts at $495, and a second seat at $995. There is no free trial either, only the permanent single-site lookup, so there is no way to test a segment at volume before paying. Buy it for the merchants who are not on Shopify yet: everything it does inside Shopify is cheaper and deeper two rows up.
StoreInspect. Nobody is named. There is no company, no founder and no location, and a support address is the whole contact page. That is a lot of trust to give a vendor selling you 1.4 million merchants' contact details. Treat the contact side as your own compliance question. The site says the data is public. That is not the same as saying an outreach campaign built on it is lawful where you or the merchant are. The store counts are self-reported, and the refresh cadence is described as regular without a number. So how current any single record is cannot be checked from outside.
