looking for a gummysearch alternative
gummysearch shut down. it stopped taking new signups on november 30, 2025 after failing to reach a commercial license agreement with reddit's data api, and on december 1, 2026 the service closes and all user data is deleted. around 140,000 founders and marketers used it. if you are one of them, export your data and pick a replacement.
what gummysearch did well
deep reddit audience research. it was built by a solo founder who understood reddit properly, and for learning what a subreddit actually talks about it was the best tool in its category. nothing here is a knock on it.
what cuehq does differently
gummysearch was for research. cuehq is for acting. it watches four platforms rather than one, scores every conversation and drops about three in four, and drafts a reply in your voice that you post yourself.
