Built by one founder, for solo Shopify operators.
No VC money. No 14-person growth team. Just the tool I wished existed when I was running a side-hustle DTC brand at 11pm.
Gerry
Founder, Cheetah Ping
I'm the solo founder behind Cheetah Ping. I've spent the last decade building software for small operators who do not have the budget for enterprise tooling. I built Cheetah Ping after watching DTC friends find out about competitor price drops three days too late. The big tools wanted $49 a month and a SKU mapping spreadsheet before they would do anything useful. So I built the version I wished existed: paste a URL, get pinged in Discord the moment something changes, get back to work. Reply to any of my emails. I read all of them.
Why I built this
For ten years I watched friends running small Shopify stores get crushed by enterprise tooling pricing. The same software a 50-person retention team uses gets sold to a solo founder at the same price, with the same multi-day setup overhead. That is not a pricing tier mismatch. That is a product gap.
Cheetah Ping is the tool I wished existed when I was running a side-hustle DTC brand at 11pm and just needed to know when a competitor dropped their hero price. No SKU mapping. No enterprise sales call. No Slack import wizard. Paste a URL. Get a ping. Get back to work.
Every line of code, every email, every pricing decision goes through one person. That is the trade-off you get when you buy from a solo founder. Slower releases, but the person who writes the reply is the same person who writes the code.
