Competitor monitoring for founders
What is Pesky?
Pesky is a competitor monitoring tool. It finds the companies competing with you, reads them every morning, and sends you one short email on what moved and why it matters to your company.
How it works
- It finds your competitors. Type your website and Pesky names your 10 closest, ranked direct, overlapping and adjacent. Free, in about 30 seconds. Edit the list any time.
- It reads them every morning. Their homepages (the exact words added and removed), domain rating, launches on Product Hunt and AppSumo, and what people say on Reddit, Hacker News and YouTube. On GROWTH, their LinkedIn and X too.
- It tells you what matters. One email at the hour you choose: who moved, what changed, and a line on why it matters to you. Everything stays on your dashboard, searchable, morning by morning.
What you see every morning
A competitor rewrote their homepage to promise what yours promises. Another launched on Product Hunt. A Reddit thread says a third halved their price for small teams. A fourth stayed quiet, and you know that too, because it was checked.
That's the morning brief. See a sample, written about made-up companies.

What Pesky isn't
It isn't an SEO keyword tool: it looks for companies doing your job for your buyer, not sites ranking for your words. It isn't a social listening tool tracking every mention of a keyword. And it isn't an enterprise battlecard platform for a sales team of fifty. It's built for a founder who wants to stop checking competitors' sites by hand.

What is Pesky?
A competitor monitoring tool for founders and small teams. It finds the companies competing with you, reads them every morning, and sends one short email on what moved and why it matters to your company.
Is Pesky free?
Finding your competitors and keeping your list of 10 is free, for good. Reading them every morning and the morning email start on IDEA at $29 a month.
How does Pesky find my competitors?
Type your website. Pesky reads it, looks at who you're compared with across Google, LinkedIn and X, and an AI judge names the companies a buyer would put side by side with you, ranked direct, overlapping and adjacent. You can edit the list any time.
What does the morning email say?
Which competitors moved overnight and how: new words on their homepage, a launch on Product Hunt or AppSumo, a Reddit or Hacker News thread, a domain rating change, a LinkedIn or X post. Each with a line on why it matters to you. Quiet competitors are listed too, so you know they were checked.
Is Pesky a social listening tool?
Not quite. Social listening tools track every mention of keywords. Pesky watches named competitors: what they change, launch and post. On GROWTH it also reads what people say about them and about you on LinkedIn and X.
Who is Pesky for?
Founders, solo makers and small teams who want to know what competitors are doing without checking their sites every week. Bigger teams that need battlecards and Slack workflows may be better served by enterprise competitive intelligence tools.
