TL;DR
GummySearch was a popular Reddit audience research tool that shut down in November 2025 after failing to negotiate Reddit's Data API terms. Reddit Scout Pro is a Chrome extension alternative that runs entirely in your browser — no API dependency means no shutdown risk. It offers keyword monitoring, 6-category intent scoring (0-100), a built-in lead CRM with starring/archiving/notes, CSV export, and on-page keyword highlighting. Free tier available. Pro is $6.99/month or $49.99 lifetime.
GummySearch Is No Longer Available
Shut down after failing to reach a commercial agreement with Reddit's Data API. Existing paid users retain access until end of billing period; lifetime deal holders get access through December 2026. All accounts permanently deleted December 1, 2026. This happened in November 2025.
Why People Need a GummySearch Alternative
GummySearch shut down permanently
GummySearch closed in November 2025 after Reddit changed its API policies. All user accounts will be permanently deleted by December 2026. If you relied on GummySearch, you need a new tool immediately.
API-dependent tools face the same risk
GummySearch relied entirely on Reddit's Data API. When Reddit tightened access, GummySearch couldn't survive. Any web app that depends on Reddit's API faces the same existential risk. Browser-based tools avoid this entirely.
GummySearch was expensive for what it offered
GummySearch charged $29-$199/month. The $29 Starter tier offered little more than Reddit's native search. The $59 Pro tier was required for AI insights. Reddit Scout Pro offers intent scoring and lead management starting at $6.99/month.
Research-only — no lead management
GummySearch was built for audience research, not lead generation. It had no built-in CRM, no lead scoring, no way to track conversations or export prospects. You had to manually copy links to a spreadsheet.
