Off-topic but I'd never heard of CatchJS before. As the founder of TrackJS[1] I can't help but feel they were heavily inspired by our product... almost too inspired considering their logo and marketing copy.

(We've been around since 2014, so we pre-date them by 4 years)

You both have an incredibly generic logo/header/copy template so I'm not really sure what you're trying to imply. Your site copies the format of Stripe and they were around in 2010, pre-dating you by 4 years.
Wait a company logo about javascript that uses {}? Maybe thrown into a single color circle? Mild Shock.

Edit: I will give you that their web page header and pricing looks very similar.

Lars from CatchJS here.

Anyone can go on archive.org and verify that they changed their color scheme and header to ones very similar to CatchJS in Feb 2020, after CatchJS had used that look for 2 years. Thank you for also pointing out the pricing page, where the same is true.

I've now received a cease and desist from their attorney stating that the looks are too similar. It's nice that they've paid for an attorney to make my point for me, but they seem to have mixed up who did what here.
