These tools never work well, usually a weak combination of scraping the html, JS tags and checking DNS entries. Siftery tried something similar with a bunch of VC raised and is equally bad.

The only decent one is http://builtwith.com which also happens to be a great 1-man business.

From the website:

Both sites use the same domain provider and the same SSL cert provider. I'd say with medium confidence they are probably 2 products of the same company.

Looks like that's corroborated by the other comments on this page, which makes it even worse.
