Our verdict
Reddit r/SaaS is one of the strongest domains you can get a listing on (DR 95). We haven't confirmed whether its listing links are dofollow yet. Listing is free.
Best for SaaS founders who can share real lessons or data, with the product mentioned only in passing, and not builders of marketing, outreach or content-generation tools.
About Reddit r/SaaS
r/SaaS is a Reddit community for "Discussions and useful links for SaaS owners, online business owners, and more." It is a discussion forum, not a directory, and its rules sharply limit self-promotion, so it rewards founders who share real lessons rather than announcements.
What a listing gets you
- A text or link post in the r/SaaS feed, or comments in existing threads
- Discussion and feedback from other SaaS founders and operators
Pricing, timing and links
- Pricing
- Posting is free with a Reddit account.
Before you submit
- A Reddit account
- Rule 3: "Promotion is allowed occasionally, but accounts focused solely on it will be removed." Limit: "Max 1 mention or 3 links can be shared every 60 days", and alt accounts count toward the limit
- Affiliation must be disclosed "at the beginning or end of the post or comment"; "naked" links or product descriptions count as spam
- Rule 11: no promotion, launch announcements or feedback requests for SaaS built for advertising, promotional outreach, lead detection or ad/content generation
- Rule 4 bans AI-generated text; Rule 7 requires direct, full URLs (no shorteners, tracking or affiliate links)
- Submissions openYES
How to get approved
- Make the post useful without clicking anything: write the lesson in the post itself, disclose that you are the founder, and keep it to one product mention (the limit is 1 mention or 3 links per 60 days).
- Use plain, full URLs with no UTM, affiliate or shortener links, since those are removed under Rule 7.
- Write the post yourself: Rule 4 removes AI-generated text.
- Check Rule 11 before posting: tools for promotional outreach, lead detection or ad/content generation cannot be promoted or launched there at all.
