Features
Everything you need to reply first, nothing that gets you banned
Reddit, Hacker News and X
One feed across the places buyers ask for recommendations. X included on paid plans with a fair monthly allowance — most $29 tools skip it.
AI buying-intent score
Every post scored 0–100 with a one-line reason, so you spend 10 minutes on the 5 threads that matter instead of scrolling 500.
Drafted, disclosed replies
Helpful-first drafts that disclose your affiliation. Low-intent posts get no pitch at all — protects your reputation.
Daily refresh + digest
New leads land every morning, with an optional email digest or Slack alert. Refresh on demand when a launch is live.
You stay in control
LeadPerch never posts, DMs, likes or follows. You open the thread and reply yourself — no bot bans.
Set up in 2 minutes
Describe your product, add a few phrases like “alternative to X”. First leads appear right after onboarding.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free trial of Pro?+
Yes. Pro (monthly or yearly) comes with a 1-day free trial, once per account. Checkout asks for a card; cancel within 24 hours and you are not charged. Agency has no trial.
Is LeadPerch a GummySearch alternative?+
Yes. GummySearch shuts down on December 1, 2026. LeadPerch covers the core workflow most people used it for — finding threads where people ask for a product like yours — and adds Hacker News and X. It does not replicate every audience-research feature.
Do you post or DM on my behalf?+
Never. LeadPerch drafts a reply; you edit it and post it yourself from your own account. Automated posting and DMs break Reddit’s rules and get accounts banned.
How is buying intent scored?+
An AI model reads each post against your product description and returns a 0–100 score with a short reason. If the AI is unavailable we fall back to rule-based signals like “looking for”, “alternative to” and “what do you use”.
Who is LeadPerch for?+
Anyone who needs customers online: founders and indie hackers, freelancers, agencies, marketers, sales teams and people shipping their first app. If your buyers ask for recommendations in public, LeadPerch finds those posts.
What does the free plan include?+
Three keywords, Reddit and Hacker News, and your top 10 leads with drafted replies. Pro ($29/mo or $290/yr) gives you 25 keywords, up to 200 leads in your feed, X coverage, Slack alerts and higher AI limits. Agency ($79/mo) raises that to 100 keywords and 1,000 leads.
Is X (Twitter) unlimited?+
No. X charges per post read, so each paid plan includes a monthly X allowance (Pro: 300 post reads, Agency: 600), paced across the month, and X searches the first one or two keywords. When the allowance runs out, Reddit and Hacker News keep working as normal and X picks up again the next month.
How fresh are the leads?+
Feeds refresh automatically every day and look back over the past week. You can also refresh any time, and get a daily email digest or Slack alert when new leads arrive.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Plans are billed through Stripe and you can cancel, or switch between monthly, yearly and Agency, from the billing portal; you keep access until the end of the period.
