A launch you never named
Found on a launch board. Same buyer, same promise, uncomfortably familiar page.
Hey, SaaS Founder!
Someone’s probably cloning you right now..
Somebody just pasted your website into an AI coding agent and typed “clone this, make no mistakes.” Probably one of your oldest customers.
I'm Ruz. Founder of LeadShark + Pesky. When everyone and their mother started cloning me (LeadDuck, LeadDonkey, Lead-effing-Zebra 🦄) I was burning 2-3 hours / day monitoring them. So I built agents to do it for me. That became Pesky.
You've ignored these clones and your competitors for long enough, and left things to chance (trust me, I've made the same mistake)
Just add your website! Pesky finds competitors circling your moat. Then keeps scanning every day, on autopilot. For new clones + emerging threats. We watch, so you can relax!

Candy vs Chocolate
Candyland makes things. The Chocolate Kingdom makes copies, mindlessly, and floats them over on donut boats. It is just… a lot… of boats.
The lighthouse is us. We watch the waters so you don't have to, and when a boat gets too close we lob a donut. Sprinkles. Splash.

NOT ANOTHER SOCIAL LISTENING TOOL
Known rivals are easy. Pesky watches the market against a living map of your moat—and surfaces new overlap before it becomes obvious.
Found on a launch board. Same buyer, same promise, uncomfortably familiar page.
A company on your list changed its homepage and now overlaps your core claim.
Your public positioning changed. Pesky updates the map before judging everybody else.
EVERY MORNING
Pesky starts with your own site: who you sell to, what you promise, what you charge. Then it checks every competitor against that, every day, and tells you who got closer.

QUESTIONS
No. Pesky keeps a knowledge base of every company it reads for you: what they claim, who they sell to, how they price, and every signal since you started. The morning brief is one output. The API and the MCP server give your own tools the same base.
No, and that is the point. The names you know are where it starts. Pesky also reads launch sites, forums and social for companies that overlap your job and your buyer, and proposes the ones that do, with the evidence. Nothing joins your list without your yes.
The few things that make you the obvious choice: the job you do, who you do it for, the claim only you make, the proof behind it, how you price, where you are found. It’s our first guess from what’s public. You fix it, and it updates as you move also.
Every launch and mention on the sources is matched against your moat. A new company that describes your job, sells to your buyer or copies your claims scores as close, and goes in the brief as a proposed name, with where it was found and what overlaps.
One brief, at the hour you pick, in your time zone: your own drift, known rivals getting closer, and new companies found. Each marked act, watch or ignore. A quiet day is two lines.
Every new account starts with 7 days of it free, no card. Then €50 a month per company, with everything in it: up to 25 competitors, every source read every morning, and the morning brief. Pay yearly and get two months off (€500 a year per company). It's on the Pricing tab behind the dice button.
