How to Detect Shopify Apps other shopify store using?

Topic summary

A user seeks alternatives to the now-defunct Fera extension for detecting which Shopify apps competitors are using.

Recommended Tools:

  • Web-based detectors: ShopScan.app (offers paid features), ShopScope.top (free) — both scan stores and provide app lists with links plus theme information
  • Browser extensions: Wappalyzer, BuiltWith, Koala Inspector, and Store Leads (Chrome extension) — analyze technology stacks and provide competitor insights including best-selling products
  • Manual method: Inspect page source code (Ctrl+U) to find app-related scripts or tags

Important Limitations:

Participants note these tools may not detect 100% of apps, particularly backend or server-side integrations. They should be used as assistive resources rather than definitive sources. Screenshots comparing detection results from different tools show varying levels of detail captured.

I was wondering how to detect shopify apps a website using? What is the best tool? I used to use Fera extension. But it’s not working anymore.

Hi,

This is Richard at PageFly - Shopify Advanced Page Builder app.

You can use ShopScan.app. It’s an updated Shopify App Detector. Provides all the app a store using with app links and the theme name.

Visit: https://www.shopscan.app/

Hoping my solution helps you solve your problem.

Best regards,

Richard | PageFly

To detect which Shopify apps another store is using, you can inspect the store’s website code or use third-party tools like BuiltWith, Wappalyzer, or Shopify App Detector. These tools scan the site’s technology stack and can identify installed Shopify apps, though they may not detect every app, especially those that operate on the backend.

You can use the Koala Inspector tool, a Shopify spy tool, to analyze your competitors. It provides insights into their best-selling products, theme details, the apps they are using, and many more.

To detect Shopify apps a website is using, tools like Wappalyzer or BuiltWith are reliable alternatives. These browser extensions or platforms analyze a site’s technology stack and can often identify Shopify apps integrated into the store. Additionally, you can manually inspect the store’s page source code (Ctrl+U or right-click > View Page Source) for references to app-related scripts or tags. Keep in mind that some apps may not be easily detectable due to server-side integrations.

Hi there are 2 ways to find out which apps one shopify is using

  1. Shopify app detector website

such as:

https://shopscope.top/ (free)

ShopScan.app (with paid products on the website)

both all theme can scan apps on one Shopify store

check the same store detected by these 2 tools

  1. Google Chromes

such as :

storeleads google chrome (Free)

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/store-leads/lknjbkoecedolkpbcpolldlfhcblgemh

But these tools may not be 100% equal to what apps on the site

they are only the assistant for you

I hope this tip can help you
