THE STORY
Started in a garage. Powered by frustration.
In 2022 we were running an eBay store doing about $40k/month in networking gear. Margins were thin and the competition was sharp.
Every Friday, we'd sit down to do "competitor research" — manually clicking through 30 stores, copying prices into a spreadsheet. By the time we noticed a $200 price drop on a key product, we'd already lost two days of sales.
We tried Terapeak. Too retrospective. We tried ZIK. Too broad. We needed something that told us right now what changed and what to do about it.
So we built it. For ourselves first. Now for you.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Three principles we don't bend
See first, react never
Reactive sellers lose. The seller who sees the price war forming wins. Everything we build serves that one principle.
Built by sellers
Every feature ships through the test: 'Would I have used this when I was running my store at 2am?' If no, it doesn't ship.
Honest software
No dark patterns. No fake urgency. No 'free trial' that auto-charges $200. $1 means $1. Cancel means cancel.
PROMISES, NOT MARKETING
What we don't do
A short list of things we'll never do — even if they'd grow us faster.
- Auto-renew you into a $200/mo plan from a 'free trial'
- Sell your data to anyone, ever
- Run dark patterns to make cancel hard
- Promise auto-repricing miracles we can't deliver
- Pretend we work for marketplaces we don't (we're eBay-only by choice)
- Spam you with 'engagement' emails when nothing happened
If we ever break one of these, email us and we'll refund you on the spot. No questions.

What people are saying
"The closest thing to having a competitive intelligence analyst on staff."
EBAY SELLERS WEEKLY
"Finally, a tool that tells you what to do — not just what happened."
RESELLER UNDERGROUND
"If you're doing $5k+/mo on eBay, you're leaving money on the table without something like this."
THE FLIP SHOW PODCAST
A NOTE FROM THE TEAM
If you're reading this and you're an eBay seller — we get it. The platform doesn't tell you when you're being undercut. Your accountant doesn't know what an MPN is. And nobody else seems to care that you lost $400 last week to a competitor you didn't see coming.
We care. We built this for you. And we'll keep building it as long as you'll have us.
Try it for $1. If it doesn't pay for itself in your first month, email us — we'll refund you and shake your hand.

Sellers, first. Builders, second.
