How to post in r/SaaS without getting removed
r/SaaS allows promotion, but you get at most one mention every 60 days across posts, comments, and links, and you must disclose your affiliation (for example, Founder here) at the start or end. Naked links count as spam. Provide real context and value, not a pitch. Note that r/SaaS specifically bans promoting Reddit automation and post-generation tools as a category.
The rules below were read from r/SaaS’s own rules page. Subreddits change their policies, so confirm against the live rules before you post, and run your draft through the launch checklist so your account and timing are as ready as your writing.
What r/SaaS allows, in four lines
Promotion is allowed occasionally but tightly rate-limited. Rule 2 sets a maximum of one mention every 60 days across posts, comments, or links, requires you to disclose affiliation clearly, and counts secondary accounts promoting the same product toward the limit. Naked links are treated as spam, and violations can lead to a ban and URL blacklisting.
No single named megathread. The subreddit uses the one-mention-per-60-days in-context model instead.
No public numeric karma or account-age threshold is published.
Not used here. r/SaaS handles promotion through its rate limit, not a flair.
How promotion actually works here
Promotion is allowed occasionally but tightly rate-limited. Rule 2 sets a maximum of one mention every 60 days across posts, comments, or links, requires you to disclose affiliation clearly, and counts secondary accounts promoting the same product toward the limit. Naked links are treated as spam, and violations can lead to a ban and URL blacklisting.
Where the product goes: No single named megathread. The subreddit uses the one-mention-per-60-days in-context model instead.

The formats r/SaaS rewards
The value-first post with disclosure
When You want to share something about your SaaS within the 60-day limit.
How Lead with a genuinely useful lesson, teardown, or number. Disclose your affiliation with a short line like Founder here at the start or end. Do not drop a naked link.
The pure contribution
When You are between promotional windows, which is most of the time.
How Answer other founders' questions in detail with no mention of your product. This is what keeps your account welcome for the next time you do share.
The specific question
When You have a real SaaS problem the community can help with.
How Ask one focused question with context. Keep it about the problem, not your product.
What a post that fits looks like
Illustrative example for a fictional product, shaped to r/SaaS’s rules.
Cut our trial-to-paid drop-off almost in half by changing one onboarding step (Founder here)
Founder here. We were losing most trials at the same spot: the empty-state dashboard on day one. People signed up, saw a blank screen, and left. What actually moved the number was seeding the account with a realistic sample project so the first screen was never empty. That one change roughly halved our day-one drop-off. Happy to go into the details. For those of you who have fixed a similar drop-off, what worked, and did you seed sample data or push people straight into setup?
Why it fits: Discloses affiliation up front, leads with a concrete result, no link, ends with a question to the community.
The fastest ways to get pulled from r/SaaS
If a post disappears without a removal message, it may be held by AutoMod rather than manually removed. Our guide on why a Reddit post is not showing up walks through the difference.

Posting in r/SaaS, answered
Can I promote my SaaS in r/SaaS?
Yes, but only once every 60 days across all posts, comments, and links, and you must disclose your affiliation. Naked links are spam, secondary accounts count toward the same limit, and violations can mean a ban plus URL blacklisting.
How do I disclose affiliation correctly?
Add a short, clear line such as Founder here at the very start or end of the post or comment. The point is that no reader should be surprised to learn you built the thing you are talking about.
Why was my helpful post removed from r/SaaS?
Common causes are a naked link, exceeding the 60-day mention limit, an unedited AI prompt dump, or a review my product post. The subreddit also bans promoting Reddit automation and post-generation tools as a whole category.
Does r/SaaS allow polls or surveys?
Only with a Mod Approved flair. Unapproved surveys and polls are removed, as are lead-generation and fundraising posts.
