GummySearch closed. The work it did still matters.
GummySearch stopped taking new customers on November 30, 2025 and deletes all user data on December 1, 2026. dist0 does the same core job — reading Reddit for buyer pains — is open today, and turns each finding into a move you can act on.

03 · which one, when
What changes when you switch.
01
dist0 finds leads and drafts the outreach on request.
GummySearch was a research surface: it showed you the conversations, then stopped — you did the synthesis and sent every message yourself. dist0 goes further. Each brief is organized by next move — reach out, content, and offers — and when you ask the Slack bot to expand one, it drafts the work from the real post: a DM to a lead, a reply to a thread, a content brief, or an offer to ship.
Reach out: a lead list of Reddit users who match your buyer, exportable to CSV — ask the bot to draft a DM from someone’s own post.
Content: ask it to turn a recurring pain into a content brief, ready to write.
Offers: ask it to turn an unmet need or competitor gap into a free tool, a feature, or a deal.
02
dist0 watches fewer communities than GummySearch did.
GummySearch let you roam all of Reddit and run deep research — trending communities, product-review breakdowns, audience reports. dist0 is built for a business you already run, not open-ended exploration: it watches a focused set of communities and digests them for you. If your job was broad market research across the whole site, expect a smaller, more opinionated tool here.
You watch a fixed set of subreddits — 5 on Starter, 10 on Pro — not all of Reddit.
No trending-subreddit, product-review, or audience-report dashboards to dig through.
Briefs arrive on a schedule; there are no near-instant keyword alerts.
03
dist0 delivers briefs to your email and Slack.
With GummySearch you had to remember to log in and go digging. dist0 does the watching for you and sends each brief to your email and Slack on a set rhythm, so the Reddit findings keep coming without you having to go get them.
Briefs arrive twice a week on Starter, daily on Pro — empty days are skipped.
Ask the Slack bot to manage subreddits, list leads, or draft a message, in plain English.
It keeps watching the same communities over time, and sharpens as you give feedback.
No. GummySearch stopped accepting new signups, renewals, and payments on November 30, 2025. Existing paid subscribers keep access until their billing period ends — lifetime-deal holders through November 30, 2026 — and all user data is scheduled for deletion on December 1, 2026. If you still have an account, export your audiences, keyword lists, and reports before that date.
Is dist0 a drop-in replacement for GummySearch?+–
Not exactly — it does the same core job but with a different shape. Both read Reddit for buyer pains, competitor mentions, and content ideas. dist0 goes further on action (it finds named leads and drafts your outreach, which GummySearch never did) but is narrower on research (it watches a focused set of communities instead of letting you explore all of Reddit, and it has no trending or product-review dashboards). If your use of GummySearch was ongoing go-to-market, dist0 fits. If it was broad, open-ended market research, expect a smaller tool.
I used GummySearch to research audiences across all of Reddit. Can dist0 do that?+–
Not in the same way. GummySearch let you search any of 130,000+ communities on demand and run deep audience and product-review analysis. dist0 watches a fixed set of subreddits you choose — 5 on Starter, 10 on Pro — and digests them for you. It’s built to keep a steady eye on the communities where your buyers already are, not to roam the whole site for a one-off research sprint.
Can dist0 find leads and draft outreach? GummySearch couldn’t.+–
Yes — that’s the biggest thing it adds. dist0 ships a lead list of Reddit users who match your buyer, which you can export to CSV. Ask the Slack bot to expand a lead and it drafts a DM from that person’s own posts; it also drafts replies, content briefs, and offer plans on request. Everything is copy-and-send — dist0 never posts, comments, or messages on your behalf.
How does the price compare to what I paid for GummySearch?+–
GummySearch ran $29 Starter, $59 Pro, and $199 Mega a month, with a free tier. dist0 is $19 Starter and $49 Pro, with a 14-day free trial that doesn’t ask for a card. You’re trading some research breadth for a lower entry price and the leads-and-drafting workflow.
I’m a GummySearch lifetime-deal holder. Do I need to move now?+–
You keep access until November 30, 2026, but all data is deleted on December 1, 2026 — so plan to export everything before then. There’s no rush to switch this week, but it’s worth starting a dist0 trial early so your watched communities and project memory are already warmed up when GummySearch goes dark.
