Comparison
DiscoLike vs TheirStack
TheirStack derives technology signals from hiring evidence. DiscoLike detects vendor footprints across websites and external infrastructure, then combines them with company discovery and research.
TL;DR
TheirStack uses job postings to identify technology mentions and estimate usage. That can reveal internal tools that leave little evidence on a public website.
DiscoLike detects observable vendor relationships and makes them searchable alongside website text, company profiles, and customer lookalikes. A business does not need to be hiring for its website and infrastructure to provide evidence.
Choose the source that answers your targeting question. Use DiscoLike for vendor-based account discovery; consider TheirStack when hiring activity or internal-stack clues are central to your campaign.
DiscoLike indexes more than 82 million companies, ~3x the coverage of LinkedIn-dependent databases. On Starter, a query returning 1,000 new company records uses $3.68 in credits ($0.18 query fee plus $3.50 for records), and plans start at $99/month.

Observed vendor footprints and hiring evidence
DiscoLike combines website integrations and external infrastructure evidence. You can use the resulting vendor relationships as criteria when searching the company index, without requiring a company to publish a vacancy.
TheirStack's methodology explains how it derives technology usage from job postings. Mentions are evidence, but the meaning depends on context: a role can describe an existing stack, a migration, or experience the employer wants.
Keep that distinction when building an outreach message. A detected technical footprint and a hiring requirement support different statements about the account.
Choose evidence that supports the claim you plan to make to a prospect.
Which companies can appear in the list?
For a campaign targeting service businesses using a particular vendor, DiscoLike can combine vendor criteria with a description of the service and a country filter. Customer domains can seed a lookalike search to narrow the result to a useful segment.
TheirStack's technographics API provides source-linked signals and historical context. Hiring evidence can help with backend tools that are difficult to detect externally. Companies without relevant hiring evidence need another discovery source.
Neither source reveals every tool at every company. Evaluate the technologies important to your offer, then measure relevant companies found and the evidence available for each match.
Pricing: compare the app and API separately
TheirStack's pricing page lists app packs from $109 for 1,000 company credits and API subscriptions from $49/month for 1,500 credits. A company result costs three API credits; a job result costs one. The API entry price is lower than DiscoLike's $99 subscription, but the included records and product scope differ.
DiscoLike's Starter plan charges $0.18 per company query plus $3.50 per 1,000 new company records, drawn from the $99 subscription balance. One query returning 1,000 new companies consumes $3.68; it does not make the subscription cost $3.68. Contact and research usage should be budgeted separately under the relevant rates.
For occasional app exports, compare the one-time purchase with a subscription. For an ongoing pipeline, price the expected company, job, contact, and research volume. See DiscoLike pricing for all plans.
Agentic workflows and the next step
TheirStack documents MCP access alongside its API. DiscoLike also exposes MCP, with a REST API, SDK, and CLI. Both can supply an automated workflow.
In DiscoLike, follow vendor targeting with contact search and custom DiscoGen research, then hand off to your CRM. If hiring evidence is also useful, evaluate it as an additional input to account qualification.

FAQ
Common questions
How is DiscoLike different from TheirStack?
DiscoLike combines observed vendor footprints with company discovery and research. TheirStack uses hiring evidence for technology and company searches. The right choice depends on the evidence your targeting requires.
Can job postings reveal technologies a website cannot?
Yes. Internal software may be named in hiring materials while leaving no public website footprint. Read the source context before treating a mention as confirmed deployment.
Which product has the lower starting price?
TheirStack's API starts at $49/month; DiscoLike starts at $99/month. TheirStack also offers app packs from $109. Compare record allowances and the work included, rather than treating app credits and API credits as equivalent.
Does DiscoLike require a company to be hiring?
No. Its company discovery and vendor targeting use website and infrastructure evidence. A company can be found without an active job posting.
