Start with BeProfit — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
BeProfit
BeProfit combines e-commerce webhooks, ad platform spend APIs, and cost inputs into simple profit arithmetic. Rebuilding this using Supabase, Airbyte, and Metabase or Next.js takes minimal core development. The main burden is handling external ad network API updates.

Littledata
Littledata acts as a middleware server fetching Shopify order webhooks and dispatching them to GA4, Meta, and Segment using server-to-server APIs. While you can easily write a Cloudflare Worker to forward these events, maintaining client-side cookie ID matching and handling ad-platform API changes adds ongoing maintenance burden.
