PitchGhost vs Others
PitchGhost vs GummySearch
While both platforms aim to enhance audience research and engagement, they differ in their approaches and feature sets.

Social posts are treasure maps — if you have the right tool to read them. GummySearch gives you a jeweller’s loupe trained on Reddit. PitchGhost hands you a scanner that sweeps LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Reddit and Facebook, then nudges you to reply while the post is still warm. Here’s where they diverge.
Platform focus
PitchGhost
Monitors four channels out-of-the-box (LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Facebook) so you never miss a buyer who prefers a different feed.
Each automation (“Ghost”) starts with a plain-English Goal — e.g., “Find posts from founders complaining about CRMs” —that the system translates into Boolean magic behind the scenes via the automatic Ghost creation method. Or you can maintain full control over keywords and nuance using the manual Ghost creation route.
GummySearch
Purpose-built for Reddit’s 130k+ communities — perfect if your ICP hangs in subreddits, but you’ll need another tool once they tweet.
Search & discovery at a glance
Feature | PitchGhost | GummySearch |
|---|---|---|
Query style | Boolean search with advanced query capabilities | Keyword & subreddit search with AI pattern finder |
Granular filters | Up to 15 modifiers (title, company size, geography, etc.) on LinkedIn alone. | Advanced subreddit filters (Pro tier) |
Scan cadence | Hourly, daily, or weekly sweeps you set once and forget | On-demand or scheduled keyword tracking |
Reach | Reddit only |
Engagement & workflow
PitchGhost
AI drafted replies can be ready to go with every Find — edit or hit Send in one click.
Instant Action extension lets you like, comment, or DM (or any other action you could take on a post on any supported platform) from inside PitchGhost.
Slack, Discord for instant notifications with the ability to customize alerts.
HubSpot Smart Sync pushes contacts in your CRM directly into PitchGhost for LinkedIn monitoring.
Unlimited seats on the Engage tier. Unlimited Finds, Ghosts, and keywords on every tier.
GummySearch
Surfaces pain points & content ideas, but you still click into Reddit to reply manually (similar to PitchGhost's Find tier).
Slack/Discord alerts kick in only on the Pro ($59) tier; no CRM hand-offs or auto-drafted responses.
Pricing snapshot

Who loves what
PitchGhost users call it “gamified prospecting” — Slack/Discord pings + drafted replies make every Find feel like a warm lead, not another spreadsheet.
GummySearch fans swear by its idea-mining for blogs, newsletters, and product validation, but mention juggling extra tools when it’s time to actually engage customers.
Bottom line
Need speed across channels and a built-in reply button? PitchGhost’s Ghost automations, AI drafts, and free seats turn social chatter into pipeline in minutes.
Living and breathing Reddit intel? GummySearch is your monocle for niche discovery, but you’ll still do the outreach dance by hand. Basically, everything you could do with GummySearch is already covered with PitchGhost (plus a lot more).
Pick the megaphone (PitchGhost) if closing deals beats combing threads — grab the monocle (GummySearch) if Reddit research at a slightly cheaper price point is what you need.
