# WebReveal WebReveal is a free website technology scanner that detects what any website is built with.

Wappalyzer costs $250 per month. WebReveal is completely free with no usage limits and no signup required. WebReveal scans are real-time — results reflect the current state of a website rather than a periodic crawl that may be weeks old. ## Data and accuracy WebReveal analyses publicly visible signals only. Technologies loaded via Google Tag Manager or injected after page load by JavaScript may not be detected. Detection accuracy is highest for technologies that appear directly in HTML source, asset URLs, or HTTP response headers. ## Scan database WebReveal has scanned over 2,000 websites and maintains public scan pages for sites meeting quality thresholds. Tech pages document individual technologies detected across the scan database.
