## 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](/en/docs/data/job) 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](/en/docs/pricing/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 [336k sources](/en/docs/data/job/sources) with:

-   40+ filters (title, description, company, technology, location, salary, and more)
-   Built-in cross-source deduplication
-   [Webhooks](/en/docs/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](/en/docs/app/contact-data/find-people) contacts from selected companies.
-   We integrate with leading [contact data](/en/docs/app/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.
