Frequently asked questions

Is ReplyAgent a good GummySearch replacement?

ReplyAgent does everything GummySearch did (discovery) plus comment generation and managed account posting. It's a significant upgrade in capability. The trade-off is cost: $79/month plus $4/comment vs GummySearch's $49-99 flat rate for research only.

What should GummySearch users switch to?

For research only: RedReach ($19-29/mo) or Subreddit Signals ($29/mo). For end-to-end including posting: ReplyAgent ($79 + $4/post) or Ranqer ($129 flat for 60 posted comments with trained ambassadors). Depends on whether you want a tool or a service.

Why is ReplyAgent more expensive than GummySearch was?

GummySearch was research-only — you did all the work. ReplyAgent adds AI comment generation and managed account posting. You're paying for execution, not just intelligence. Whether that's worth it depends on your time value.
