The GummySearch alternative that finds buyers, not just audiences
GummySearch shut down in late 2025. Soonar picks up the Reddit lead-gen workflow: it watches Reddit posts and comments, scores buying intent, explains why each match is a lead, and writes a reply you can paste — so you go from research to revenue in one flow.
Where Soonar goes beyond GummySearch
Audience research finds where buyers hang out. Soonar finds the exact conversation and hands you the reply.
From Reddit research to ranked leads
Soonar stays focused on Reddit for the first launch, but goes beyond audience research with buyer-intent scoring, lead explanations, and reply drafts.
Buying intent, scored
Every post gets a relevance, buyer-intent, and reply-fit score — tuned to whether you sell B2B or B2C — so you act on warm leads instead of skimming feeds.
Reply drafts, not just lists
Soonar writes a context-aware reply for high-intent threads. You edit and post from your own account — no manual research-to-reply gap.
Why it's a lead, explained
Each match comes with a one-line reason it fits your product, plus clear Opportunity / Visibility / Mention lanes, so you trust the inbox.
Why switch from audience research to reply-ready leads
Audience research tells you where buyers gather. Soonar focuses on the exact thread, the reason it matters, and the reply you can review.
Specific conversations, not just communities
Soonar ranks current posts and comments where someone is asking for help, comparing tools, or describing a workflow pain.
Buyer intent before reply writing
The system scores relevance, buying intent, and reply fit first, so drafts are reserved for threads worth joining.
From research to action in one flow
A useful match includes the thread context, why it is a lead, and a reply draft you can edit before posting.
GummySearch vs Soonar, feature by feature
