The replacement lane is crowded with monitoring subscriptions, and most of them are fine. One option is not a subscription at all: a done-for-you report. This page compares all of them, including the ones that are not us.

GummySearch was the tool for mining Reddit for pain points, buyers, and product ideas. It shut down on November 30, 2025 after failing to reach a commercial licensing agreement for Reddit's API.
It did not die of a bad product. It was profitable at about $35k MRR with more than 10,000 customers. The API deal fell through and the product went down with it. Existing users keep degraded access through late 2026. Everyone else needs a new home.
The uncomfortable lesson: a tool built on someone else's API can be profitable, loved, and gone within a quarter.
Before you compare tools, decide which job you are actually hiring for.
You want a stream: keyword mentions, intent signals, leads, every week, forever. Pick one of the tools in the table below. They are built for exactly this. We do not sell monitoring, so we have no stake in that race.
You want one question answered: where do my buyers gather, and what do I post there? That is a report, not a dashboard. That is SellSniper, and it is the only done-for-you option in this lane.
Where we have not verified a price, the table says so instead of inventing a number. Check each tool's site before you buy.

If the monitoring rows blur together, that is the honest picture. It is a crowded lane of similar tools competing on features. We are not competing in it.
Real talk: if you loved GummySearch for the always-on stream, buy a monitoring tool. Buska watches the most ground, 30+ platforms with intent scoring. Prowlo has the simplest bill, $19/mo flat after the trial, covering Reddit and X. Replymer drafts replies for you. F5Bot costs nothing and does honest keyword alerts. None of these are us, and all of them are reasonable choices for that job.

It depends on what you used GummySearch for. For continuous monitoring, the tools in the table sell that service, and F5Bot provides free keyword alerts. For one done-for-you answer, SellSniper is the only option in this lane: one $65 report with 10 named communities, their posting rules, and 3 ready-to-edit posts.
F5Bot is free and emails you when chosen keywords appear on Reddit, up to 200 keywords. SellSniper's free scan is also free: paste your product URL and get a ten-specialist AI campaign across community and owned channels.
GummySearch depended on Reddit's API, and losing that licensing deal is what killed it. SellSniper reports are researched by hand from public pages, with no Reddit API dependency, so there is no API agreement to lose.
