GummySearch shut down in late 2025. Here is what people use now to find buyers on Reddit, with prices checked in October 2026.
The best Reddit lead generation tools in 2026 are Leadhoot for read-only buyer-intent scoring on Reddit, Linkeddit for an all-in-one Reddit suite, Subreddit Signals for a budget intent tool, and F5Bot for free keyword alerts. Octolens and Buska are better if your buyers are spread across many platforms.

Keyword alerts vs intent scoring
Keyword tools email you every post that contains a word. Intent tools read the post and score how likely the author is to buy. On a common category word, keyword alerts mean reading hundreds of irrelevant posts a week. More in keyword alerts vs intent scoring.
