GummySearch shut down? Prowlo is the agent-first replacement.
One MCP-native API for Reddit and X. Semantic search across the corpus, live passthrough through our proxies. A free 14-day trial to start — no Reddit API credentials, no shutdown risk on the same Reddit-pricing ground GummySearch lost on.

Animated demo: an AI agent scans hundreds of Reddit and X posts through Prowlo, keeps the few high-intent ones, runs a draft in a sandbox, and sends a Slack digest.

Prowlo vs. GummySearch
GummySearch was a Reddit-only research dashboard. Prowlo is the agent-first data layer behind your AI workflows — multi-platform, MCP-native, with a free 14-day trial and no Reddit API dependency.
Comparison reflects publicly documented functionality at the time GummySearch wound down (Nov 2025). Feature list subject to change as Prowlo ships.
Migrate from GummySearch in 15 minutes.
GummySearch deletes all account data on November 30, 2026. Export now — even if you pick a different replacement.
Export from GummySearch
Log in and export your saved keyword lists, subreddit collections, and audience research while your account is still active. After November 30, 2026 everything is deleted.
Create a Watcher
Paste the same subreddits into a Prowlo Watcher and add your keywords as tagging rules — same names, no reformatting. Prowlo starts crawling those sources immediately.
Point your tools at the Dataset
Connect Slack or a webhook for alerts, or install the MCP server so Claude or Cursor can search your Dataset by meaning. Same workflow, minus the API shutdown risk.

GummySearch was a dashboard. Prowlo is an API your agent calls.
One MCP install, every source
Install Prowlo’s MCP server in Claude, Cursor, or Cline. Your agent asks "what is r/MachineLearning saying about vector databases this week?" and gets clean typed JSON back. GummySearch was a UI; Prowlo is the API behind your workflows.
Reddit + X, same schema
GummySearch indexed Reddit only. Prowlo ships Reddit and X today, with the same record shape on both. Your agent doesn’t care which platform a record came from — it queries one Dataset, same fields, same cursor pagination, same semantic search.
Never touches the Reddit API
GummySearch shut down when Reddit’s API pricing made the math impossible. Prowlo never touches the official Reddit API — we crawl through our own residential proxies. Start with a free 14-day trial, then one flat plan at $19/mo, not $29 to get in the door.
“We previously used a tool that only let us monitor a small, manually-defined list of subreddits (around 10 max). That approach was too narrow. Prowlo changed the game by tracking a wide range and surfacing only the relevant ones for our 3D furniture rendering service. We landed 4 new customers in our first month and a half that we’d never have found otherwise.”

Reddit data for AI agents — the hard way, or the right way.
Same Reddit. Same goal. Two very different pipelines — and outcomes.
One plan. Free for 14 days.
Start with a 14-day free trial — no card. Then $19/mo for 25 Watchers across subreddits, Reddit users, Hacker News, Mastodon, RSS & X (checked hourly) plus Keyword Monitor (20 keywords searching all of Reddit) — served to your agent over MCP.
Moving from GummySearch
How much does Prowlo cost?
Start with a free 14-day trial — full MCP access, no card on file. After that it is one flat plan at $19/mo for 25 Watchers across subreddits, Reddit users, Hacker News, Mastodon, RSS & X. No per-call Reddit API fees, ever.
Do I need Reddit API credentials?
No. Prowlo crawls through our own residential proxy stack. You never touch Reddit’s commercial API quota — which is the reason GummySearch had to shut down in the first place.
What did GummySearch do that Prowlo doesn’t?
GummySearch was a UI for browsing audience research. Prowlo is an API for agents and workflows. If you mostly used the visual dashboard, we’re a different shape. If you piped data into a process, your agent, or a CRM, we’re a direct upgrade with better economics.
Can I import my GummySearch keyword list?
Yes. Drop your keywords and subreddits into a Watcher on setup — same names, no lock-in. Prowlo starts indexing them immediately.
Will Reddit’s API pricing affect Prowlo?
No. We don’t depend on Reddit’s commercial API. Our crawl runs through residential proxies, separate from Reddit’s API quota system. The thing that killed GummySearch cannot happen to us in the same way.
How does Prowlo plug into Claude or Cursor?
One MCP install command. Your agent gets tools like search_dataset, social_search, and list_watchers — all returning clean typed JSON. Your free 14-day trial includes full MCP access.
Other Reddit + X monitoring alternatives we compare to
GummySearch isn’t the only tool buyers move from. Prowlo is also a common replacement for F5Bot users who outgrew email-only alerts, Syften users who hit filter caps, Phyllo users who want a developer-friendly API instead of a sales-led contract, and Apify users tired of compute-unit billing.
