The verdict

Wappalyzer's free browser extension is the right tool for 'what is this site running, right now?' — open the site, click the extension, get the answer. StoreVitals is the right tool for 'what is the health of this store, over time?' — including tech stack detection but adding 30+ other ecommerce-specific checks with continuous monitoring. Wappalyzer's a Swiss army knife for tech curiosity. StoreVitals is a continuous-monitoring layer for stores you actually care about. Both have free tiers worth keeping.
