Looking for a GummySearch alternative?

GummySearch stopped accepting signups on November 30, 2025 and shuts down completely on November 30, 2026. If you used it to find your audience on Reddit, here's an honest guide to what to use now.

What happened to GummySearch

GummySearch couldn't reach a commercial API agreement with Reddit — the pricing (about $0.24 per 1,000 calls) made its live-query business model unsustainable. Existing customers keep access until November 30, 2026, after which all saved data is deleted.

Where Nichory fits

Nichory covers the discovery half of what GummySearch did — finding the right subreddits for your niche — and it's free. We maintain a curated directory of communities with weekly-refreshed sizes, activity signals, age, and links to each community's self-promotion rules.

  • Free niche search — type your topic, see the communities that matter
  • Curated niche guides — hand-organized lists for 27 niches
  • Signal score — size + momentum in one number, so you don't waste time on dead communities
  • Rules links for every community — the #1 way to avoid bans
