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.
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.
