How to share your startup on r/microsaas

TL;DR

r/microsaas is a free subreddit with about 221,000 members (October 2026) where solo founders and small teams talk about building and selling micro SaaS products. You may post your own product, and rule 2 asks for context around it: a backstory, tech stack, revenue figures or a lesson learned, because bare links get removed. It suits bootstrapped founders who want honest feedback and first users at zero cost.

How we checked: we read these rules through public subreddit trackers in October 2026. Read the sidebar and the pinned posts before you post, since moderators update the rules.

What is r/microsaas?

A micro SaaS is a small software-as-a-service product, run by one person or a tiny team, that solves one narrow problem for a niche audience and charges a subscription. r/microsaas was created in 2017 and describes itself as "A place to change your life with micro SaaS apps." Its members are indie hackers, developers with side projects and first-time founders.

The subreddit has six rules:

1. Keep it Micro SaaS: every post relates to micro SaaS.
2. No Low-Effort Self-Promotion: "You may share your Micro SaaS, but it must add value." Bare promotional links, empty build-in-public updates and repeated link-dropping get removed.
3. Be Respectful and Constructive: critique the product and the landing page, never the founder.
4. No Unethical Tactics or Black Hat: fake reviews, scraped-email spam and astroturfing are banned.
5. Keep it high quality: links to paid courses or newsletters need prior moderator approval.
6. No DM ME: posts and comments that ask people to message you privately are removed.

Who should post on r/microsaas?

Good fit:

• Bootstrapped founders with a live product, even at zero revenue, who want feedback on pricing, positioning or the landing page.
• Developers who can explain the stack and the build decisions behind their tool.
• Founders ready to share real numbers, small ones included.

Skip it:

• If you sell a course, newsletter or agency service and have no moderator approval.
• If you only want a backlink: links in Reddit posts carry nofollow, so the DA 95 belongs to reddit.com and passes no ranking credit to your site.
• If you have no time to answer comments on the day you post.

How much does r/microsaas cost?

Posting is free. The subreddit has no paid listing or featured slot.

How do you share your startup on r/microsaas?

1. Open r/microsaas, join, and read the rules. Spend a week commenting on other founders' products first, so your account has history in the community.
2. Write a text post that tells the story: the problem, who it is for, how you built it, the tech stack, your price and what happened after launch (users, revenue, mistakes).
3. Place your link inside the story, never as the whole post, and stay in the thread to reply. Leave out any "DM me" line, because rule 6 removes it.

Tips to get more out of r/microsaas

• Lead with a number in the title, such as "0 to 410 dollars MRR in 90 days with a Chrome extension". MRR means monthly recurring revenue, and honest small figures read as more credible than big claims.
• Ask one specific question at the end ("Would you pay 9 or 19 dollars a month for this?") to pull in useful comments.
• Post the story of a failure. Rule 2 counts a lesson learned as added value, and readers comment on mistakes they recognise from their own projects.

Our verdict

r/microsaas is one of the largest free places to put a small SaaS product in front of other builders, as long as you write a real story around the link. Expect feedback and a handful of first users, and expect no SEO value because of the nofollow links.
