GummySearch shut down. Adlicio covers 9+ platforms.
GummySearch was Reddit-only. When their commercial license with the Reddit API broke down in 2026, the platform shut down, taking thousands of paying audience researchers with it. Adlicio is the multi-platform successor: Amazon, Trustpilot, Reddit, Etsy, Steam, YouTube, Quora, Hacker News, Google Maps, Product Hunt, and more, all via your browser session, with zero API dependency.
Used by hundreds of e-commerce operators and copywriters
Why former GummySearch users move to Adlicio
- 14× the source coverage. GummySearch covered Reddit. Adlicio covers Amazon (across 20 country marketplaces), Trustpilot, Reddit, Etsy, Steam (game and community reviews), YouTube comments, Quora, Hacker News, Google Maps, Product Hunt, Notion, and more.
- No API dependency.GummySearch shut down because they couldn't reach a commercial agreement with the Reddit API. Adlicio scrapes via your browser session, there's no API to revoke, no terms to renegotiate.
- Structured ad angles, not just summaries. GummySearch surfaced threads. Adlicio ranks the underlying patterns into structured ad angles, each tagged with the tension, the objection, the emotional trigger, and a candidate hook line.
- Native ChatGPT & Claude integration. The Chrome extension injects scraped customer language directly into your ChatGPT or Claude conversation, no copy-paste, no prompt engineering.
- Built for e-commerce buyers. Pricing, output format, and workflow are tuned for DTC brands, performance marketers, and DR copywriters, not generic Reddit researchers.
Your GummySearch workflow, translated
If you lived in Audiences, Pain Points, and Patterns, here's where each piece of that workflow lives in Adlicio, including the one thing we don't do.
| In GummySearch | In Adlicio |
|---|---|
| Audiences (Custom & Curated) | Brand workspaces and saved Audiences, bundle the subreddits and sources you mine repeatedly |
| Pain Points / Pain & Anger theme | Ranked tensions and objections in every brief, each with verbatim quotes |
| Patterns (the pattern finder) | Ranked ad angles, recurring themes clustered across hundreds of comments |
| Solution Requests & Money Talk | Buying-intent language surfaced and tagged inside the brief |
| AI summaries | Full research briefs plus hook lines and ad scripts, also inside Claude via the MCP connector |
| Keyword tracking & alerts | Not offered. For live mention alerts, pair Adlicio with a free monitor like F5Bot |

The architecture decision GummySearch couldn't make.
GummySearch had to negotiate commercial API terms with every platform they covered, and when Reddit changed terms in 2026, the business folded. Adlicio uses your browser session directly, so each platform sees you as a logged-in user, not a third-party API client. There's nothing to revoke, nothing to relicense, and adding a new platform takes days, not months of negotiation.
That's why we already cover 9+ platforms, and why former GummySearch users get more sources, faster, for the same monthly spend they were paying for Reddit alone.
GummySearch deletes all user data on December 1, 2026.
Existing annual customers are on a transition year that ends November 30, 2026. After that, accounts close and saved audiences and research are deleted. If you still have data in GummySearch, export it before the deadline.

Why did GummySearch shut down?
GummySearch couldn't reach a commercial licensing agreement for the Reddit data API. It closed to new signups on November 30, 2025, gave existing annual customers a transition year, and shuts down completely, with all user data deleted, on December 1, 2026.
Is Adlicio a direct GummySearch replacement?
For the research core, audiences, pain points, patterns, AI summaries, yes, and Adlicio adds the layer GummySearch stopped short of: ranked ad angles and hook lines in your buyers' own words. The honest gap: Adlicio doesn't do keyword tracking or alerts. For live mention monitoring, pair it with a free tool like F5Bot.
Can I still export my GummySearch data?
If you're on the transition year, yes, until December 1, 2026, when accounts and data are deleted. Export your saved audiences and research before then.
How does pricing compare?
GummySearch's top tier ran $199/month for Reddit alone. Adlicio starts free with no credit card, and paid plans are $9.99 and $29.99/month covering 9+ platforms.
