How do I get a list of Contao websites?

A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 91,362 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. The lists of websites that recently moved to or away from Contao are included. See pricing.

How does BetaScan detect Contao?

Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using Contao when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.
