GummySearch is winding down. Your lead flow doesn't have to.
If you used GummySearch to find customers inside Reddit conversations, intenthound picks up that job, and widens it. Reddit, Facebook groups and X, every post scored for real buying intent by AI, the good ones delivered to Slack with a suggested reply.
Heads up: GummySearch stopped new signups and renewals on November 30, 2025, and has said stored data will be deleted in December 2026. Export your saved audiences and keywords while you still can.
A good tool, ended by a licensing decision.
GummySearch built a loyal following of founders and marketers who used it to research Reddit audiences and catch conversations worth joining. In late 2025 it announced it was winding down: it couldn't secure commercial licensing for Reddit's data API, and the economics of the licensed API didn't work for an independent tool. No new signups or renewals since November 30, 2025, and existing users' access winds out through 2026.
The lesson its users are drawing isn't just "find a replacement." It's don't let your lead flow depend on one platform's API terms. That's exactly how intenthound is built: Reddit is one of three sources, alongside the Facebook groups where buying questions get asked every day and X. Public posts are collected on our own infrastructure, never through your accounts, and never dependent on a single platform's commercial API program.
intenthound is the alternative if GummySearch was your customer-finding tool. It monitors the communities your buyers actually ask in: subreddits, Facebook groups, X. It reads every new post with AI, scores it 0–100 for buying intent, and pings you in Slack, Discord, Telegram or Teams with a reply drafted in your brand's voice. No dashboards to babysit, no auto-posting, no bots on your accounts.
If GummySearch was mostly your research library (subreddit discovery, audience stats, historical deep-dives), we'll be honest: that's a different job, and we only do part of it. Read the "who should switch" section below.

Who should switch, and who shouldn't
Switch to intenthound if you used GummySearch to…
- Catch "anyone recommend…?", "what do you use for…?", "we're switching from…" posts and turn them into customers
- Track keywords and pain phrases across communities without reading feeds all day
- Get alerted fast enough to be one of the first helpful replies
- Find buyers who will never fill out a form or click an ad, especially in private Facebook groups ads can't reach
Look elsewhere if you mainly used it to…
- Discover new subreddits and study audience sizes and growth, a Reddit-research specialty we don't replicate
- Mine years of archived threads for product research. intenthound watches forward, not backward
- Browse categorized pain-point libraries as a research exercise. We surface live conversations, not reports

Questions GummySearch users ask us
Is GummySearch shutting down?
Yes. GummySearch announced it is winding down after it couldn't secure commercial licensing for Reddit's data API. New signups and renewals stopped on November 30, 2025, existing access runs out through 2026, and stored data is scheduled for deletion in December 2026. Export your saved audiences and keywords before then.
Is intenthound a direct replacement?
For finding customers in community conversations, yes, and it goes further, with Facebook groups and X alongside Reddit, AI intent scoring on every post, and alerts with suggested replies. If you used GummySearch mainly for subreddit discovery and historical audience research, that's a different job and we only do part of it, see the comparison above.
Could intenthound lose Reddit access the way GummySearch did?
intenthound doesn't depend on Reddit's commercial API program. Public posts are collected through dedicated scraping infrastructure. Just as important, Reddit is one of three sources: Facebook groups and X are monitored too, so your lead flow never lives or dies on one platform's licensing decisions.
Does intenthound auto-post replies?
No, deliberately. Auto-posting gets accounts banned and burns trust in the exact communities you're trying to build a reputation in. intenthound drafts a suggested reply matched to your brand and the buyer's intent. You review it, make it yours, and post it yourself.
Do I have to connect my own Facebook or Reddit account?
No. intenthound never logs into your accounts. Monitoring runs entirely on our own infrastructure. Zero risk to your personal or brand profiles, which matters in Facebook groups where automation on your own account can get you banned.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $49/month with a free trial on Starter and Growth, month-to-month with no annual lock-in. See pricing for what's in each plan.
Don't rebuild your lead flow twice.
