GummySearch alternative with real-time intent alerts
Stop manually searching Reddit for leads. CatchIntent monitors 24/7 and alerts you the moment high-intent conversations happen.
Why teams switch from GummySearch
Real challenges that lead people to look for alternatives
Manual search required
GummySearch is a research tool, not a monitoring tool. You have to actively search and browse to find leads — it doesn't come to you.
No real-time alerts
By the time you manually search, the conversation may be hours or days old. Timing is everything when engaging buyers.
Research-focused, not sales-focused
GummySearch is built for audience research and content ideas. It's not optimized for finding and converting buyers.
Time-intensive workflow
You need to regularly log in, run searches, and manually review results. This doesn't scale when you're building a product.
No intent classification
GummySearch shows you conversations but doesn't tell you which ones have buying intent vs. just casual discussion.
Reddit-only platform
GummySearch focuses exclusively on Reddit. Buyers on Hacker News, Bluesky, or other platforms are invisible to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CatchIntent a research tool like GummySearch?
No, CatchIntent is a monitoring and lead generation tool. While GummySearch helps you research audiences, CatchIntent automatically finds and alerts you to buying opportunities in real-time.
Can I still do audience research with CatchIntent?
CatchIntent's signals give you insight into what your target audience is asking for, but it's optimized for finding leads, not general research. Many teams use both tools for different purposes.
How much time will I save compared to GummySearch?
Most users report saving 5-10 hours per week. Instead of manually searching and reviewing results, you receive only high-intent signals that are ready to engage.
Does CatchIntent have subreddit discovery like GummySearch?
CatchIntent focuses on monitoring specific keywords and finding intent signals. For subreddit discovery and audience research, GummySearch may still be useful as a complementary tool.
What if I want both research and monitoring?
Many teams use GummySearch for initial research to understand their audience, then CatchIntent for ongoing monitoring and lead generation. The tools serve different purposes.
How does pricing compare?
CatchIntent offers a 7-day free trial. Our paid plans are competitively priced with GummySearch, but the ROI is typically higher because you're getting qualified leads, not just data.
