GummySearch alternative
GummySearch closed. Ignyte is the live alternative.
Same idea — find what real customers are complaining about — but covering Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, Product Hunt, dev.to, Stack Exchange, Bluesky, YouTube and Google Trends instead of Reddit alone, with a 0–100 Pain Radar Score on every signal.
Their site now redirects to a closure notice. If you relied on GummySearch to mine Reddit for customer pain, you need a new home for that workflow.
GummySearch was the go-to tool for founders mining Reddit threads for customer pain. With it shutting down, the immediate question is where to point your saved audiences and your daily research loop. Ignyte's Pain Radar runs the same scan across 14+ communities, scores each finding on pain intensity, growth, spending, and buildability, and surfaces the result in a public Pain Database you can browse without running a single search.

FAQ
Did GummySearch really shut down?+
Yes — as of November 30, 2025, gummysearch.com shows a closure notice and directs visitors to look for alternatives. Existing accounts no longer have access to new scans.
Is Ignyte just for Reddit like GummySearch was?+
No. Pain Radar covers Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub Issues, YouTube, TikTok, Product Hunt, Stack Exchange, Bluesky, Mastodon, dev.to, Lobsters and Google Trends. Reddit is one source among many — useful because real complaints rarely live in just one place.
How is this different from a generic ChatGPT prompt?+
Every Ignyte opportunity is backed by real public evidence — quotes, threads, search volume, competitor pricing — not training-data guesses. The AI scores and summarizes what humans actually said; it doesn't make ideas up.
How much does it cost?+
Free to browse the Pain Database. Free accounts get 1 deep report per gated feature per month. Pro is €19/mo for unlimited reports, alerts, and saved opportunities. Cancel any time.
