GummySearch Is Closed. Here's What Replaces It
GummySearch closed on November 30, 2025. KarmaGuy finds fresh Reddit threads to reply to today, with four drafts and a free plan.
Free plan, 20 replies a month, no card.
GummySearch closed on November 30, 2025. If you used it to spot questions and requests on Reddit, you need a new way to find those threads. KarmaGuy does not replace GummySearch’s research dashboard. It covers the part most users cared about: finding real Reddit threads where people ask for what you sell. It works best while the post is still fresh. This page is for anyone who built a habit around GummySearch and now needs a working replacement. That is true whether you ran a small project or managed several clients. For a longer list of options, read our GummySearch alternatives guide.

Why do people switch to KarmaGuy?
Research tools never wrote your replies
GummySearch was built for research: spotting demand, ideas, and pain points across Reddit over time. It never drafted a reply for you to send. KarmaGuy picks up where that kind of research ends. It finds today’s threads and writes the reply you would send.
You need something that still works
GummySearch closed on November 30, 2025. Any workflow built around it stopped working that day. KarmaGuy is a separate, active product. Switching now does not leave you exposed to another shutdown from the same tool.
A queue built for daily use, not monthly research
Audience research tools suit occasional deep dives into a market. KarmaGuy suits a short daily habit: check fresh threads, pick a few worth answering, reply, then move on. Most people spend about 15 minutes a day in the review queue.
A free plan with no expiry date
KarmaGuy’s free plan runs 20 replies a month for $0, with no card and no expiry date. That gives former GummySearch users room to test a new workflow before they spend anything.
What do you give up?
GummySearch, while it ran, did something KarmaGuy does not try to do. It built a searchable history of Reddit conversations. Teams could study demand and pain points over months, not just today’s posts. That kind of audience research helped shape product roadmaps, not just draft replies. It also let people validate a product idea before writing a single line of code. That is a different job than replying to a live thread. KarmaGuy only looks at fresh posts inside your chosen freshness window, and it does not keep a long research archive. If deep historical research across Reddit still matters to your team, our GummySearch alternatives guide covers tools built for that job. KarmaGuy was not built to replace it.
How does the switch work?
- Add your project to KarmaGuy with a name, a URL, and a short description of what you do.
- Pick the subreddits you used to research in GummySearch, or start from one of KarmaGuy’s presets.
- Set your freshness window, run your first search, and review the drafts for the threads worth answering.
FAQ
Is KarmaGuy cheaper than GummySearch?
+
GummySearch is no longer available to buy at any price, since it closed on November 30, 2025. KarmaGuy’s free plan costs $0 a month for 20 replies. Paid plans start at $29 a month for more volume.
Will KarmaGuy get my account banned?
+
No tool can promise that, since Reddit can ban an account for many reasons. KarmaGuy lowers that risk because a human reviews and approves every reply before it goes out. Nothing posts automatically, and there is no bot behind your account.
Why did GummySearch shut down?
+
GummySearch’s own site states that it closed on November 30, 2025. We do not have more detail beyond that public notice. Check any final statement on their site for the full story. The site does point former users toward a few alternative tools.
Does KarmaGuy do the same audience research GummySearch did?
+
No. KarmaGuy focuses on fresh threads you can reply to today, not long-term research across Reddit’s history. For research-style alternatives, see our GummySearch alternatives guide.
Can I import my old GummySearch data into KarmaGuy?
+
No. KarmaGuy does not import data from other tools. You start by adding your project and subreddits directly inside KarmaGuy, which takes a few minutes to set up. Your old research can still guide which subreddits and keywords you pick.
Try it on your own subreddits.
