GummySearch Alternative for Reddit keyword tracking and brand alerts after the shutdown

GummySearch was an audience research tool for Reddit. Its own product page described it as a way to search, summarize and gain insights from 130,000 active subreddits: find the communities where your customers gather, then read the threads it sorted into pain points, solution requests, money talk and people seeking alternatives. Its last price list, still published on its site, ran from a Free plan limited to 50 keyword searches, through Starter at $29 a month with unlimited searches and keyword tracking, Pro at $59 with advanced search, content performance reports and Slack or Discord, to Mega at $199 for research firms and agencies. Annual billing saved 33 percent.

On November 30, 2025 GummySearch closed for business. Its closing notice says the shutdown was to comply with Reddit's API policies, which it described as forbidding commercial applications. New signups are closed. Active subscribers keep access until the end of their billing period, at most one year, lifetime-deal holders keep access until November 30, 2026, and free users can only export or delete their data. So every former customer is on a clock, and anyone who found GummySearch through an old recommendation cannot sign up at all.

EyeOut is not a clone of GummySearch, and it is worth being exact about which half of the job it takes over. GummySearch had two halves. The research half helped you discover subreddits and mine them for ideas, and EyeOut does not do that. The tracking half, which GummySearch described as getting notified of conversations about your brand, complaints about competitors and requests in your product category, is exactly what EyeOut is built for. You add brand, product, competitor and category keywords, and EyeOut scans Reddit, Google News and Mastodon every 30 minutes on every plan, with Hacker News, Lemmy and Apple Podcasts episode titles and descriptions added from Growth. Each mention is scored for sentiment toward your brand, negative mentions trigger an email, and a daily digest groups the rest into themes. From the $149 Growth plan, a crisis radar compares each keyword's last 24 hours with its own 7-day average and alerts you when it breaks from normal, and Slack alerts and share of voice against three competitors come with it. EyeOut does not watch X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn or review sites, it is not real time, and it does not backfill mentions from before you add a keyword.
