The company was founded in 2007 by Or Offer in Tel-Aviv, Israel.[1] By 2009 SimilarWeb won the first Israeli SeedCamp, attracting the attention of international media and investors. The company raised its Series A round of $1.1 million[2] with the investment being led by Yossi Vardi, and Docor International Management. SimilarSites, a browser extension to help users find sites similar to those they are visiting, was launched later that year.

On September 24, 2013, the company closed a $6 million[3] Series B round led by David Alliance, Moshe Lichtman with the participation of existing investor Docor International Management.[4] On February 24, 2014, South Africa media giant Naspers invested $18 million into SimilarWeb and leading their Series C round.[5] Within a month, SimilarWeb used a part of the capital for the acquisition of Israeli early-stage company TapDog for a few million dollars in shares and cash, less than a year after TapDog was founded.[6] In November 2014 raised $15 million in a series D investment.[7][8] In July 2015, SimilarWeb acquired personalized content discovery platform developer Swayy.[9][10]

On December 10, 2015, SimilarWeb announced it had acquired Quettra, a Silicon Valley-based mobile intelligence startup, to boost its mobile operations.,[11][12] Quettra provided personalization tools for developers in return for detailed mobile telemetry data.

In July 2017, the company announced a $47 million round of financing led by Viola Growth, Saban Ventures with participation from CE Ventures and existing investors.[13]
