ClientRadar watches the subreddits you already follow, surfaces the handful of threads with real buying intent, and drafts a reply in your voice. It runs in your own logged-in browser session, so nothing auto-posts and you stay the human on every send.
ClientRadar is a Reddit lead generation tool for freelancers and small agencies that finds people actively asking to hire — posts like "looking for a photographer" or "need a web developer" — across the subreddits you already belong to. It runs inside your own logged-in Chrome session rather than through Reddit's paid commercial API, scores each thread 0–100 for buying intent with the reason shown, and drafts a reply in your own voice. Critically, it never auto-posts: a human reads and sends every reply, leads stay on your device, and only the post text plus your writing style are sent to AI for scoring and drafting. That makes it a safer, more private alternative to auto-posting bots like Devi or ReplyGuy and to discontinued research tools like GummySearch.
People openly ask for recommendations on Reddit every day, but it's also the platform that has spent 2025–2026 wiping out promotional accounts. Reddit reports taking down roughly 100,000 bot accounts a day, and shadowbans now trigger on link patterns, posting cadence, and account age. The old tooling either gets you flagged or just quietly died.
Bots like Devi, ReplyGuy and PhantomBuster post on your behalf at scale — exactly the behaviour Reddit's 2026 detection scores and shadowbans for. One bad pattern and the account you've built karma on for years is gone, with no warning.
GummySearch stopped new signups on 30 November 2025 after it couldn't reach a Reddit commercial API deal — profitable to the end, killed by platform cost (~$0.24 per 1,000 calls). Any server-side tool that constantly scans thousands of subreddits inherits that same bill, and that same risk.
F5Bot and similar keyword pingers are great for raw mentions, but they hand you every match with no ranking. You still wade through dozens of 'interesting but not now' threads to find the two people actually ready to hire this week.
Reddit communities punish self-promo that takes more than it gives. Dropping the same pitch into every thread gets it removed by mods and downvoted by readers — the opposite of the trust you need to win a client there.
It works the way a careful human would, just faster and without missing the good threads.
Pick the communities your buyers hang out in — r/forhire, your niche and local subs — and the phrases that signal intent, like 'looking for', 'need help with', or 'can anyone recommend'. Add your Brand DNA so drafts sound like you.
ClientRadar reads the feeds you're already logged into, in your own browser, on your own schedule. No paid API, no separate scraper, no fleet of warmed-up sock-puppet accounts that Reddit can fingerprint and ban.
Each matching thread gets a 0–100 buying-intent score with the reasoning attached. Only the post text and your Brand DNA go to AI (DeepSeek, then Anthropic) — your leads and CRM never leave your device. You see a ranked shortlist, not a firehose.
For threads worth it, ClientRadar drafts a helpful, on-topic reply that answers the person first and mentions you second. You edit and send it yourself — nothing posts automatically — and a local CRM keeps follow-ups from slipping.
Reddit rewards humans who help and punishes bots that broadcast. ClientRadar is designed around that reality instead of fighting it — which is exactly why it sidesteps the failure modes that took out the tools before it.
Because it runs in your own logged-in browser session rather than Reddit's paid commercial API, ClientRadar avoids the per-call API bill that made a constantly-scanning server tool unsustainable. The economic problem that ended GummySearch isn't part of this design.
ClientRadar never posts for you. It drafts; you read, edit, and click send. That single rule keeps you on the right side of the automated-behaviour patterns Reddit's 2026 systems shadowban for — and respects each subreddit's self-promo etiquette.
Instead of hundreds of mentions or one-pitch-fits-all replies, you get a few genuinely high-intent threads with the score reasoning shown. You spend your karma where it counts and stay the helpful regular, not the flagged promoter.
Web designers, copywriters and developers catch 'looking for' posts the moment they appear, reply with genuine help, and land the gig before ten other freelancers pile in.
City and hobby subreddits quietly generate 'can anyone recommend a photographer' threads. ClientRadar surfaces them so you reply as the helpful local, not the outsider spammer.
Track several niche communities at once for high-intent buyer language, score each lead, and route only the real opportunities to your inbox — without staffing someone to refresh Reddit all day.
If you've had a shadowban or a removed post from an auto-poster, ClientRadar's human-on-every-send model lets you rebuild on Reddit safely, one genuinely useful reply at a time.
Monitoring public subreddits you're a member of and replying as yourself is normal Reddit behaviour. What gets accounts banned is automation that posts for you and self-promo that takes more than it gives. ClientRadar is built around that line: it only surfaces and drafts — you approve and send every reply yourself — so you stay a real participant. You still need to honor each subreddit's self-promotion rules and the general 90/10 etiquette; no tool exempts you from that, and we say so plainly.
GummySearch was a Reddit audience-research tool that stopped new signups on 30 November 2025 after it couldn't reach a Reddit commercial API deal. ClientRadar is a client finder, not a research dashboard: it spots individual people across Reddit (plus Facebook, X and LinkedIn) who are asking to buy, scores their intent, and helps you reply. It also runs in your own logged-in browser rather than a paid platform API, so it doesn't carry the per-call cost that made GummySearch's model unsustainable. If you used GummySearch for deep niche research, a dedicated research tool may suit you better.
F5Bot is a genuinely useful free keyword-alert tool, and if all you want is an email when a phrase appears, it's a fair choice. The difference is ranking and action: F5Bot sends you every match with no scoring, so you do the triage. ClientRadar scores each thread 0–100 for buying intent, shows the reasoning, drafts a reply in your voice, and tracks follow-ups in a local CRM. You're paying to turn a firehose of mentions into a short list of real opportunities — the reframe is that one signed client covers the year.
ClientRadar is specifically designed to avoid the behaviours Reddit's 2026 systems flag. It never auto-posts, doesn't run a swarm of accounts, and doesn't push the same link everywhere — those are the patterns (posting cadence, link ratio, automated behaviour) that trigger shadowbans. You stay the human writing each reply. That said, no tool can promise zero risk on someone else's platform, and your own posting habits and respect for subreddit rules still matter most.
Your leads, notes and CRM stay local on your device. The only things sent to AI are the public post text and your Brand DNA writing style, which are used to score buying intent and draft a reply. Routing goes to DeepSeek first, then Anthropic. We don't store your lead list on a server, and nothing is posted to Reddit without your explicit tap.
Any subreddits you can access while logged in — your niche communities, hiring subs like r/forhire, and local city subreddits where recommendation requests show up. You choose which ones to watch and which intent phrases to track. ClientRadar reads the feeds you already belong to rather than scraping all of Reddit, which keeps it both lighter and more aligned with how you'd browse normally.
