StoreRadar reference · every claim dated and sourced
Ecommerce store databases compared: all 15, with verified pricing
11 store databases and 4 partial substitutes and adjacent tools, compared on price, database size, contact data, export rights and refresh cadence. Nothing is ranked. Our own weaknesses are in the table.
The short version: for cross-platform coverage with history, Store Leads ($250/mo for exports) is the reference. For a one-time file, the only two options are StoreRadar ($149, 2.67M live Shopify stores) and BuiltWith ($10,224, 6.99M detected Shopify domains). For native contacts on top of store data, StoreCensus and StoreInspect (from $49/mo). The table below has the other eleven and the fine print.

Declared
interest
Yes, a vendor wrote this comparison. StoreRadar sells one of the products below. Here is how to trust it anyway: every number is a vendor claim read on the vendor's own public pages on September 1, 2026, our own weaknesses print in the same columns as everyone else's, and nothing is ranked. Where a competitor is the better tool for a job, the table says so. When we could not verify a point publicly, the cell says "unpublished" instead of a guess.
The products count different objects. "Live stores", "detected domains", "brands" and "customers" are not interchangeable, which is why Shopify totals below range from 273,495 to 6,994,533. Each size cell keeps the vendor's own unit.
The ledger
15 products, side by side
All figures are vendor-published claims as of September 1, 2026, in the vendor's own unit. None has an independent full-database audit, ours included. Scroll sideways; the product column stays put.

Things to check before you buy
The advertised entry price is rarely the working price. What moves it, per product, ours included.
| Product | Advertised entry | What changes the effective price |
|---|---|---|
| Store Leads | $75/mo | CSV and API start at $250/mo, not the $75 headline tier. All platforms $450/mo, history $950/mo, extra seats $35/mo. |
| BuiltWith | $295/mo | The $295 Basic tier covers only 2 technologies. The one-time Shopify dataset costs $10,224. Current API entitlement is unclear. |
| Wappalyzer | Free / $250/mo | The list API needs Business at $450/mo, not the $250 Pro tier. Bundled plan credits expire after 60 days. |
| StoreCensus | Free / $49/mo | The $49 tier is Shopify-only with no decision-makers. A store contact plus one decision-maker costs 3 credits before outreach starts. |
| StoreInspect | Free / $49/mo | Reveal credits and export quota are separate budgets, neither rolls over, and trials auto-convert. Refunds within 7 days can be voided by material use. |
| FisherLeads | Free / $50/mo | Export caps are tight (2,000/mo at entry) and the API needs the top tier. Extra export-credit pricing is unpublished. |
| TechPeeker | $99/mo | Both self-serve tiers include 1 team member. API requires the $149/mo tier. Trial limits unpublished. |
| StoreRadarthat's us | $149 once | Verified emails cost $99 extra. Refunds are generally limited to a corrupt or materially short file. The Daily Feed is a waitlist with no public price yet. |
| BrandNav | Free / $49/mo | Entry tier caps at 2,000 stores/mo with $24.50/1,000 overage. Multi-user seats are labeled 'Soon'. The Enricher is priced separately. |
| BootLeads | $79/mo | Integration pushes share the export quota, unused rows do not roll over, and API needs the $299/mo tier. |
| Openmart | Free / $149/mo | Export and contact reveals consume separate credits, so a fully enriched list costs both. Annual rates require annual billing. |
| Adyntel | 50 free credits | Pay-as-you-go pack prices are unpublished. Subscription credits roll over only up to 2x the plan limit. |
| Apollo | Free / $49/seat/mo | Advertised rates are annual-billed. Organization's $119 needs 3 seats ($357/mo minimum). Credits do not roll over. |
| Similarweb | Demo-gated | Everything that matters (price, seats, caps, term) requires a demo and a written quote. |
| FindNiche | Free / $12/mo | Unlimited searches on paid tiers still display only 300 stores per query. Whole-corpus export rights are unpublished. |
Product notes
Each product in three sentences
Store Leads Store database
The broadest direct vendor: hundreds of platforms plus installed apps and historical change data back to 2019. The gate buyers hit most often: the $75/mo tier is a search UI without CSV or API, and repeatable exports start at $250/mo. Native emails are non-personal store addresses; named people come from third-party enrichment such as Apollo.

BuiltWith Store database
A web-technology database whose ecommerce lists are technology detections, not verified merchants. Its 6,994,533 live Shopify domains run roughly 2.3x what live-store vendors count, because domains include redirects, aliases and historical detections. Besides StoreRadar it is the only vendor here selling a one-time file: the Shopify dataset costs $10,224 in Parquet or TSV.
Sources: builtwith.com/plans, datasets · read 2026-09-01
Wappalyzer Store database
Web-wide technology fingerprinting with lead-list exports. It counts 1.5M live Shopify websites, well below the Shopify-focused vendors. The practical API floor is the $450/mo Business tier, and bundled plan credits expire after 60 days.
Sources: wappalyzer.com/pricing, list API docs · read 2026-09-01
StoreCensus Store database
Shopify and WooCommerce only, with native role-based contact enrichment on credits: a store contact costs 1 credit, each decision-maker 2. The $49/mo Starter tier is Shopify-only and has no decision-makers. Two of its pages disagree on app coverage (8,300+ vs 8,500+) and neither carries a data date.
Sources: storecensus.com/pricing, database page · read 2026-09-01
StoreInspect Store database
Shopify-only prospecting: filters, buying signals, contacts, CSV, API and MCP from $49/mo. Unusually transparent about contact quality: its own study of 555,842 stores found a verified, role-mapped decision-maker on 1.1% of them. Reveal credits and export quotas are separate, neither rolls over, and trials auto-convert.

FisherLeads Store database
A daily feed of newly launched ecommerce sites across 30+ platforms, not a full installed base. Its July 2026 report tracked 103,634 new sites, of which 48,785 were Shopify. Do not compare its counts with the full live-store totals of other vendors.

TechPeeker Store database
Technology-list exports with no per-export row ceiling, from $99/mo. Its Shopify list is small (273,495+ stores, updated monthly) next to the 2.6M to 3.3M that Shopify-focused vendors count. Contact totals and verification methods are unpublished.

StoreRadar Store database that's us
Our product, so read this row knowing who wrote it; the numbers are the same dated public claims we hold everyone else to. One job: the whole Shopify database as a raw one-time file ($149, 482 MB CSV plus SQLite, 53 fields, 60 days of fresh re-downloads), rebuilt daily with each store recrawled about every 7 days. The honest weaknesses: Shopify only, no dashboard, and contacts are published storefront emails, not named people.

BootLeads Store database
Multi-platform store search (Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, PrestaShop, Magento, BigCommerce and more) with public business contacts. Its dated Shopify report explains the searchable index includes password-protected stores, which is why 3,251,904 searchable exceeds 2,805,504 public. API and unlimited exports need the $299/mo tier; unused export rows do not roll over.

Openmart Store database
Store discovery with named-owner enrichment on credits: company email 0.3 credit, owner email 3, owner phone 8, and exporting itself costs 1 credit per 20 leads on top. It claims 14M+ active stores across 400+ platforms but publishes no platform-level counts, no definition of active, and no refresh schedule.

Adyntel Adjacent tool
Not a store census: it tracks 232,586 ecommerce brands currently running ads, including a downloadable list of 19,414 active-ad Shopify stores. Useful for qualifying by live ad spend and creative. No emails, phones or people, and brands without detectable ads are outside its universe.

Apollo Partial substitute
A general B2B people database, included here only as the contact-enrichment half of the job: it finds named people and verified emails or phones after you already have a domain list from a store database. It publishes no ecommerce or Shopify store count, and its licence covers internal use, not reselling lists.
Sources: apollo.io/pricing · read 2026-09-01
Similarweb Partial substitute
Traffic, online-revenue and market intelligence for domains you already know, with named contacts at 25 credits per reveal. Sales Intelligence pricing is demo-gated and the formerly public prices are stale. Included as a substitute for prioritizing a list you bought elsewhere, not for building one.

FindNiche Adjacent tool
A dropshipping product-research suite with a real Shopify store search module, included as adjacent. Cheap ($12 to $99/mo), but there is no contact layer, no public store total, and paid tiers display at most 300 store records per query.

How we verified this page
- Every number was read on the vendor's own public pricing, documentation or report pages on September 1, 2026. They are vendor claims, not audited facts. No vendor here publishes an independent full-database audit.
- "Unpublished" means we could not verify the point from public material. It is not an estimate.
- Units are kept as the vendor defines them: detected domains, live stores, brands and customers are different things and are not merged.
- We re-verify every price and count quarterly and update the date at the top of this page.
- One structural bias to know: our own row carries fewer "unpublished" flags than competitors' rows, because we can read our own systems and can only read their public pages. Treat that asymmetry as a limit of the method, not as evidence we are cleaner.
- Spotted an error? Tell us and it gets fixed within a day.

A real person built this, not a faceless data vendor
Hi, I'm Jean-Romain Krupa, Jean-Ro to most. I live in France with my wife and our two kids, and I build products that help other builders find their customers.
I've spent years in go-to-market and B2B data. Finding the right people with clean data is literally my job. StoreRadar is the tool I wished existed: the whole Shopify map, in one file you can own.
No support black hole. If something's off with your file, you're emailing me, and I answer.
Everything you need to know
The questions buyers actually ask before paying for a store database, answered without a sales pitch.
Why do vendors report such different Shopify store counts?
They count different objects. BuiltWith counts 6,994,533 live Shopify domains, including redirects, aliases and historical detections. Live-store vendors count validated storefronts: Store Leads lists 3,021,959, BootLeads 2,805,504 public stores, StoreRadar 2,667,154, StoreCensus 2,164,439. One market researcher measured about 39,000 BuiltWith Shopify detections for South Africa against roughly 2,514 live by their own test. Ask any vendor what exact test produces the 'live' label.
Are the contact emails deliverable?
No vendor in this comparison publishes an independent bounce audit. Verification claims range from MX-only checks to SMTP checks to nothing stated. In StoreRadar's own MX testing, roughly 39% of store contact domains cannot receive mail at all (vanity domains without a mail server, plus junk data), and any vendor collecting the same public data inherits the same reality. Ask what percentage of your exact filtered segment passes SMTP validation today.
Do these databases include decision-makers or just store inboxes?
Every direct store database ships storefront contacts: info@ addresses and published phones. Named people are an enrichment layer on top: StoreCensus and Openmart sell it on credits, BrandNav as a separate product, and many buyers bolt on Apollo. For calibration, StoreInspect's own study found a verified, role-mapped decision-maker on 1.1% of 555,842 stores.
How reliable are the revenue and traffic estimates?
They are modelled, not measured. Store Leads' own methodology write-up calls third-party traffic estimates 'notoriously inaccurate', especially for new domains. Treat revenue and traffic fields as ranking signals for prioritization, and ask each vendor whether a field is measured, modelled or bought from a third party.
What is the cheapest way to get a full Shopify store list once?
Two products sell one-time files: StoreRadar at $149 one-time (2,667,154 live stores, 60 days of fresh re-downloads) and BuiltWith at $10,224 (6,994,533 detected domains, a broader but noisier unit). Every other product requires a subscription, with CSV export typically gated to tiers between $49 and $450 per month.
What export limits should I check before paying?
Four things. Whether your tier includes CSV at all: Store Leads' $75 tier does not, and Wappalyzer's list API needs its $450 tier. Monthly row caps: 2,000 to 500,000 depending on vendor and tier. Whether API access needs a higher tier: it usually does. And whether unused quota rolls over: it usually does not. The 'things to check' table above lists the specific gate per product.
Is buying and emailing these lists GDPR-compliant?
Store-level data (domain, platform, apps, a published business address) is mostly company data. Named-person enrichment is personal data and needs a lawful basis, notice handling and erasure propagation. No vendor's marketing page settles this for you: get the licence and data-processing terms in writing and have counsel review them. This page is not legal advice.
Spotted a wrong number?
Every claim on this page is dated and sourced, and we re-verify quarterly. If a price or count is out of date, tell us and it gets fixed within a day.
