GummySearch
Audience research done on Reddit
GummySearch reads Reddit for you: which subreddits your people are in, what they complain about, what they already pay for. It sorts posts into patterns rather than handing back a search results page, which is the difference between reading Reddit and researching it. The free plan is enough to find out whether your audience is there at all.
Our note
This is the cheapest honest audience research in the catalog, because the raw material is people talking without being asked. Use it before SparkToro when your market is consumer, and after it when your market is business.

Treendly
Trend alerts for eight dollars a month
Treendly tracks search demand for topics and emails you when one starts climbing, with a forecast beside it. It covers the same ground as the expensive trend platforms at a price a single creator can justify, and the trade is depth: fewer sources, less slicing, no team features. For deciding what to make next month it is usually enough.
Why people weigh these two
- Treendly instead of GummySearch
- Treendly narrows the job to trend alerts at $8 a month with a free tier, a cheaper pick if you want to spot what is rising without Reddit conversation mining.
- GummySearch instead of Treendly
- GummySearch mines Reddit threads directly for what an audience is already asking, from $29, deeper on one platform rather than broad search-demand tracking.
Which one should you pick
Pick GummySearch if the research question is what your audience already wants, in their own words. Free covers 50 keyword searches on Reddit, and Starter at $29 a month adds unlimited searches and keyword tracking, priced on searching rather than seats.
Pick Treendly if the question is which topic is about to take off. A free plan tracks a limited number of topics, and Pro is $8 a month billed annually after a 14-day trial that does take a card, a fraction of GummySearch's entry price. The trade for that price is depth: fewer sources, less slicing and no team features, so it suits one person deciding what to make next month rather than an agency.
Common questions
- Is Treendly cheaper than GummySearch?
- By a lot. Treendly's Pro plan is $8 a month billed annually. GummySearch's cheapest paid plan, Starter, is $29 a month, more than three times as much.
- Does Treendly read Reddit the way GummySearch does?
- No. Treendly tracks search demand for topics and forecasts where they are headed. GummySearch reads Reddit posts directly, sorted into complaints, questions and recommendations, which is a different kind of signal.
- Do both have a free trial or free plan?
- Both have a free plan rather than a time-limited trial as the main offer. Treendly also adds a 14-day free trial that takes a card. GummySearch's free plan runs 50 searches with no card and no expiry.
- Which one is built for an agency rather than one person?
- GummySearch, at its $199 tier for research firms and agencies. Treendly is priced for a single creator throughout, and its own guidance says anybody needing depth or team features will outgrow it quickly.
