FCD Coverage Gap vs BW

Finding the right company domain is the foundation of every outbound campaign. Get it wrong and your emails bounce. Get it right and your outreach lands where it should.

BuiltWith has been around for over two decades. It built its reputation on technology stack detection — tracking what tools and platforms websites use. Domain lookup is part of what it does, but it was never the primary focus.

FindCompanyDomain.com was built to do one thing exceptionally well: turn company names into accurate domains at the lowest cost possible.

We ran a head-to-head comparison across 16,939 records. Here is what the data shows — and what it means for your outbound workflow.

What stands out immediately: 71.6% exact agreement across nearly 17,000 records. Seven in ten lookups — both tools return the same domain. For a focused domain-lookup tool going head-to-head with a 26-year-old incumbent, that is a strong baseline — and it is only the starting point.

More importantly: FindCompanyDomain never returns blank when BuiltWith also returns blank. Zero cases. FCD does not lose on coverage against BW. The 4.3% gap — 736 cases where FCD returned blank but BW had a result — is the primary improvement area being actively closed. For US-focused outbound lists, this gap is materially smaller than the headline number suggests.


Mismatch Analysis

Where FindCompanyDomain Wins Cleanly

Inside the 24.1% of mismatches, a manual review of 500 cases revealed something important: BuiltWith regularly matches the wrong domain entirely. This is not a minor edge case. It is a systematic pattern.

Real examples from the 500-case review
OPEX LLC

coachrx.app BW ✗
IO NET S.r.l
io.net FCD ✓
bookingdesigner.com BW ✗
Key Media Pty Ltd
keymedia.com FCD ✓
brokernews.com.au BW ✗

In these cases FindCompanyDomain wins cleanly. BuiltWith matched a subsidiary, a product platform, or an entirely different company. For outbound teams this is a serious operational problem — you send an email to the wrong domain, it bounces or lands at a stranger's inbox, and your sender reputation pays the price.

BuiltWith's advantage in remaining mismatch cases was concentrated in one specific pattern: international companies where the country-specific domain (.nl, .au, .de) is the correct primary domain. That is a known gap with a clear fix — legal entity suffix detection is on the FCD roadmap.

Pricing

Cost — The Clearest Difference

BuiltWith is built for technology stack intelligence. Its pricing reflects that scope. You are paying for a platform that tracks 50,000+ web technologies. Domain lookup is one feature inside a much larger, more expensive product.
