A hands-on walkthrough for the 135,000 GummySearch users who need a new home. We'll map your audiences, keywords, and conversations to SubredditSignals — and be honest about what doesn't carry over one-to-one.
SubredditSignals is a different kind of tool. If you go in expecting a GummySearch clone you'll be frustrated. Here's the trade you are actually making.
The vocabulary changes when you switch. This table maps the ideas you already know onto their SubredditSignals equivalents — and flags the two places where there simply isn't one.
The GummySearch column describes concepts at a high level; product specifics may differ, so verify against your own account while it remains available.
Curated collections of subreddits you group and monitor.
You add a brand/product and attach the communities where its buyers hang out. Starter tracks 1 brand across up to 10 subreddits; Pro tracks up to 5 brands across up to 25.
Alerts when a keyword shows up in a community.
Keywords are still tracked, but each match is scored for buyer intent rather than just flagged — so a genuine buying question ranks above a passing mention.
The stream of Reddit posts and comments in an audience.
Every matching post becomes a lead card scored across five dimensions (Lead Gen, Fit, Engagement, Relevance, Authenticity), with hot leads flagged to the top.
Grouping posts by type, such as solution requests or pain points.
Instead of manual buckets, each lead is classified Problem Aware → Solution Seeking → Comparing → Purchase Ready, so you tailor the reply to where they are.
You draft every Reddit comment from scratch.
AI drafts an authentic, on-brand reply for any lead. Copy, tweak, and post — no direct equivalent existed in GummySearch.
The browse-and-explore interface for researching communities and trends.
SubredditSignals is a scored-lead engine, not a research explorer. It tells you which threads to act on now rather than giving you an open canvas to browse. This is the biggest workflow change.
Trend charts, top themes, and audience breakdowns.
There's no demographics dashboard. The nearest Pro tools are Pain Points Radar (recurring problems in a community) and Competitor Intelligence — related, but not a like-for-like analytics replacement.
A first-party pixel ties Reddit threads — and AI-engine answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude — to real visits and conversions. Net-new to your workflow.
Once a tool winds down, account access can disappear on the provider's timeline, not yours. Before you do anything else, grab a copy of what you'll want to rebuild from — while you can still log in.
Check your account settings for any export or download options, and confirm the details in whatever shutdown notice you received — we can't speak to what GummySearch does or doesn't offer here. Even a quick copy-paste into a notes doc is enough: the lists you need for SubredditSignals are short.
This mirrors the real setup flow. Most people are done in under ten minutes.
Sign up and start a 14-day free trial. You land straight in a short guided setup.
Paste your product URL to auto-fill the details, or type your name, description, pain point, and business type (B2B or B2C) manually. This is what the AI matches conversations against — the closest analog to defining an audience's focus in GummySearch.
SubredditSignals suggests relevant communities and pre-selects the strongest ones. Add the subreddits from your old GummySearch audiences here — select up to 10 to start. You can also type in any custom subreddit.
Starter tracks up to 10 subreddits; Pro tracks up to 25 across as many as 5 brands.
Once you're in the dashboard, open Lead Settings to turn on automated keyword monitoring and add your own keywords. Every match is scored for intent, so you're not drowning in raw mentions.
On the Pro plan, paste an incoming Slack webhook URL in Notifications to get high-intent leads pushed to a channel. Starter users get email alerts instead.
Finishing setup kicks off an automatic scan of your subreddits, so your first scored leads appear within minutes. After that, new posts are scanned continuously in the background.

SubredditSignals has two plans: Starter at $29/month and Pro at $59/month (both cheaper billed annually — about $24 and $49.17/month). Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, so you can compare it against your old tool's cost before paying a cent. We won't quote GummySearch's pricing here since those plans are being wound down.
Yes. Both Starter and Pro start with a 14-day free trial. That's enough time to rebuild an audience, post a reply, and see whether the scored-lead workflow fits how you work.
Nothing imports automatically — there's no data pipe between the two tools. In practice you re-create your audiences by adding their subreddits as tracked subreddits and re-entering your keywords. Because the lists are short, most people finish in 10–15 minutes.
The biggest change is workflow: SubredditSignals doesn't replicate GummySearch's browse-first audience-discovery interface or its audience analytics and demographic breakdowns. It's built to surface and score buying moments rather than to explore communities open-endedly. If audience research was your main use case, expect a different experience.
Roughly 5–10 minutes: sign up, add your brand, select your subreddits, and set keywords. The first scan runs automatically when you finish, so your first scored leads land within minutes of completing setup.
Rebuild your first audience, set your keywords, and watch scored leads land within minutes \x2014 plenty of trial time to find out if it fits.
