What is Enlyft?
Enlyft is a B2B technology intelligence platform that uses AI and machine learning to identify which companies are using specific technologies. It tracks 30,000+ technologies across 40M+ companies, and provides predictive analytics to help sales and marketing teams prioritize accounts.
TheirStack takes a different approach — we analyze millions of job postings to detect what technologies companies are actively hiring for. This gives you not just technology adoption data, but hiring intent signals that indicate active investment.
Technology detection: two approaches
Enlyft uses proprietary AI/ML models that analyze multiple data sources to determine technology usage. The specific methodology isn't publicly documented, which makes it harder to evaluate when a detection might be inaccurate.
TheirStack detects technologies from job postings. When a company posts a job listing that mentions PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, or Salesforce, we capture that signal. You can always click through to the actual job posting to verify why we're reporting a technology — full transparency.
Both approaches capture backend and internal technologies that website scanners miss. The key difference is transparency and the additional hiring intent signal that job data provides.
Hiring intent: TheirStack's unique advantage
Enlyft tells you what technologies a company uses. TheirStack tells you what technologies a company is actively investing in. When a company posts multiple jobs mentioning a technology, that's a concrete signal of budget allocation and expansion — much stronger than static install base data for sales prospecting.
Pricing and access
- Enlyft uses enterprise pricing that isn't publicly listed — you must contact sales to learn costs
- There is no free tier, trial, or self-serve option
- The platform is designed for enterprise buyers, not individual developers or small teams
TheirStack offers a free tier with 50 company credits/month, transparent pricing from $59/month, and self-serve API access with public documentation. You can also buy credits as a one-time purchase — no subscription or enterprise contract required. Buy a credit pack, use it within 12 months, and you're done.
Job data
Enlyft does not provide job data. TheirStack gives you real-time access to job postings from 323k sources with:
- 40+ filters (title, description, company, technology, location, salary, and more)
- Built-in cross-source deduplication
- Webhooks for instant notifications
- Historical data back to 2019
UI and contact data integrations
- Beyond the API, TheirStack provides a rich UI where you can run company and job searches and quickly find people contacts from selected companies.
- We integrate with leading contact data providers (Apollo, ContactOut) and LinkedIn (Free, Recruiter, Sales Navigator) to streamline outreach from search results.
When to choose each
Choose Enlyft if you need enterprise-grade predictive analytics with native CRM integration and can commit to enterprise pricing and a sales-led process.
Choose TheirStack if you want self-serve access to technology intelligence with transparent hiring intent signals, a developer-friendly API, and the ability to start free and scale as needed.
