Replace GummySearch

GummySearch is closing on 1 Dec 2026. For the jobs people used it for, finding conversations, tracking keywords and getting alerts, Redlisten covers them through streams, search and trends, from a dashboard or an API.

What is going away

GummySearch is a Reddit research tool used to find conversations about a topic, track keywords and watch communities, and it has announced that it is shutting down, with service ending on 1 Dec 2026. That date sits between Reddit's RSS cutoff on 13 Nov 2026 and the Data API closing in March 2027, which is the context most of its users are now dealing with. This page sticks to what Redlisten does; it makes no claims about GummySearch's plans or terms.

Where it is a close fit

Keyword tracking is the core of it. A stream matches every public post and comment against your words within seconds of posting and, on paid plans, fills with the last 30 days of matches when created, so a new watch has context on the day it is set up. Delivery to a Slack or Discord channel means the team does not open another tool, and a webhook puts matches into Zapier, n8n, Make or your own code. Counts by day, comparisons and community rankings cover the reporting side.

Search is broader than most people expect from a Reddit tool because comments are indexed in full. The question "has anyone mentioned our product with the word cancel" is one query, and the thread behind any hit is one more call to /comments/{id}.

Where it is not

Redlisten is an API with a dashboard, not a research workspace. There is no curated list of audiences, no built in report builder and no reading view that replaces Reddit itself. If your use of GummySearch was mostly reading and tagging threads by hand, the dashboard is thinner than what you are used to and the permalinks take you back to Reddit for the reading. If your use was tracking, alerting and counting, or you wanted the data in your own tools, the fit is close and the API is the point.

Limits, plainly

As listed on 6 Nov 2026: Free is $0 with one stream, email digests and 250 requests a month. Pro is $29 a month with 10 streams, every delivery type, trends, 50,000 requests and search over 30 days. Team is $99 with 50 streams, comparisons, community rankings and 250,000 requests. Business is $299 with unlimited streams, daily exports and 1,000,000 requests. Yearly billing takes two months off. No daily caps; a stream, search or trends call is one request however many results it returns. The keyword alerts page shows a no code setup, the brand and lead teams page covers the reporting side, and the search page has the syntax.

Common questions.

When does GummySearch stop?

GummySearch has announced that service ends on 1 Dec 2026.

Can I move my keyword lists?

Yes, by creating a stream per keyword set in the Redlisten dashboard or through the API. Each stream takes words to match and exclude, optional communities, and a delivery target.

Do I need to write code?

No. Streams, delivery and keys are managed in the dashboard. The API is there for anyone who wants matches in their own tools.

What does Redlisten not do that a research tool does?

There is no curated audience list, report builder or long form reading view. Redlisten tracks, searches, counts and delivers; reading a thread at length happens on Reddit through the permalink.
