About Detecto
Detecto is an ecommerce platform detection API built for developers and indie hackers who need one thing: to know what platform a store runs on. Send a GET request with a domain, get back structured JSON with the platform name, confidence score, and response time — typically under 400ms. Unlike Wappalyzer ($250/mo with expiring credits) or BuiltWith ($295/mo with cached 2015-era data), Detecto scans live on every request and returns only what matters for ecommerce work. No noisy lists of 30 technologies to parse. Just "platform": "WooCommerce" and you're done. Detects Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, BigCommerce, Wix Stores, OpenCart, Squarespace and more. Ships with a native MCP server, so Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible agent can detect platforms natively with one line of config. Free tier: 10 scans/day. Paid plans from €19/mo (1,000 req/day) to €99/mo (20,000 req/day). No annual contracts, no expiring credits.

Hey! Built Detecto because I was tired of paying $250/mo for Wappalyzer just to know if a store runs Shopify. Live scan, one clean field, €19/mo. Feedback welcome 🙏
