Everything GummySearch had — and more

6 sources, not just Reddit

GummySearch was Reddit-only. GapLens mines Reddit, Hacker News, Amazon Reviews, G2, YouTube comments, and Facebook Groups — giving you a fuller picture of real user frustration.

Authenticity scoring

Every complaint is scored for authenticity. Promotional posts, listicles, and affiliate content are flagged and down-weighted so you see genuine user pain — not marketing noise.

AI-clustered pain points

Instead of raw posts, GapLens groups findings into named pain-point clusters with frequency, emotion, urgency, and opportunity scores. You get insights, not a wall of text.

One-click PRD generation

No other research tool does this. Click any pain cluster and GapLens writes a full Product Requirements Document — target user, problem statement, core features, and MVP suggestion.

Workspaces for multiple projects

Organise searches by product, client, or market. Every search, cluster, and report is saved so you can come back, compare, and build a research archive over time.

“I used GummySearch every week for customer discovery. When it shut down I was lost. GapLens does everything it did — the extra sources and the PRD feature are a huge bonus.”

Frequently asked questions

Why did GummySearch shut down?

GummySearch announced it was shutting down in November 2025. The founder cited the sustainability of running a bootstrapped tool against increasing API costs. Their users were left without a replacement.

How is GapLens different from GummySearch?

GapLens covers six platforms vs GummySearch's one (Reddit). It also adds authenticity scoring to filter out noise, AI-powered opportunity scoring across multiple dimensions, and — uniquely — one-click PRD generation from any pain cluster.

Can I import my GummySearch data?

GummySearch didn't export data in a standard format, so direct import isn't possible. But you can re-run your previous searches in GapLens — often getting richer results because of the additional data sources.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. You can run searches on Reddit and Hacker News for free without a credit card. Paid plans unlock all six sources, more searches per month, and PRD generation.

How current is the data?

GapLens fetches live data at search time — you always get recent posts, not a cached snapshot.
