Can I migrate a Wappalyzer export to Web Radar?
Yes. Drop the CSV into our importer and we map company + tech columns automatically.
Is Web Radar cheaper than Wappalyzer?
For targeted lead lists, yes. $29 for a single dataset beats $149/month when you need Shopify merchants in France once. For continuous monitoring of thousands of domains, Wappalyzer's subscription may win.
