Our verdict on PublicWWW
PublicWWW is a web source-code search engine for teams that need to find websites using specific technologies, libraries, platforms, widgets, themes, analytics identifiers, or other technical patterns. Searches can cover HTML, JavaScript, CSS, plain text, and indexed HTTP server response headers, using snippets, signatures, keywords, and query syntax. Results include website popularity ranking, snippets, and downloadable data, making the product a fit for technology discovery based on publicly indexed web code rather than company-level intelligence.
The free plan provides access to the top 3M websites. Paid access is offered through Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers. Pro costs $49 per day, $79 per week, $109 per month with monthly billing, or $1,090 per year with annual billing; it adds access to all websites, 100 searches per day, and up to 100K rows. Business costs $199 per month or $1,990 per year and raises capacity to 200 searches per day and up to 300K rows. Enterprise costs $499 per month and provides 300 searches per day and up to 1M rows. These plans suit different search volume and result-size requirements, while the daily Pro option makes short-term access possible.
PublicWWW also fits workflows that need structured output. Search results can be downloaded as CSV, and the read-only API can return JSON, XML, CSV, TSV, NDJSON, or plain text. The web and API platforms support research, list building, and technical filtering where source-code evidence is the primary signal. Choose it when discovering technologies from website code, headers, and recognizable signatures is the main requirement. Teams seeking company profiles, historical technology tracking, or intent signals should choose a product built around those datasets instead.
