This community was started by the people behind r/SaaS as a place focused on no-code SaaS discussions. The people posting here are founders and builders who are making software products without writing code, and people interested in that world. The description is upfront that they want high quality content. The rules say discussions should stay oriented around the SaaS ecosystem, tech companies, business, operational aspects, and even the personal side of running a tech business. So this is a working room for no-code SaaS builders, not a billboard. The community even tells you the two acceptable ways to bring your product up, which is rare and helpful.
The rule that decides everything here is “Only valuable/Giveaway-Including Promotions”. It prohibits direct promotion, recommendations, announcements, requests for feedback, recruitment, and user acquisition of SaaS products. If you want to mention your product, you either run a giveaway or share your story, meaning why you created it, what problem it solves, and what problems you ran into. The penalty is a permanent ban and removal of the tool name, so this is not a rule to test. “Posting SaaS Relevant Content Only” keeps the topic tight. Content must touch on SaaS specifically, and generic entrepreneurship or broad news with no SaaS angle gets removed. “No Low-Effort / Low-Quality Content” bans AI generated text, even if you edited it yourself, plus unedited prompt dumps and vague questions. Your post needs original human thought and real depth. “No selling, soliciting, or fundraising” blocks selling services, cold DMs, gathering emails or testers, and pitching for investment. Finally, “No obfuscated, shortened or indirect URLs” requires clean, direct links with no shorteners, no landing page aggregators, and no tracking or affiliate parameters.
The two doors the community opens are giveaways and stories. A giveaway post is exactly what it sounds like, you offer something of value to members, like free accounts or a useful resource, and that makes promotion acceptable. A story post is where you explain why you created your product, what problem it solves, and what problems you hit along the way. That second one is a great fit for a founder, because building a no-code product without code is a story people here actually want to read. Whatever you post must have a clear SaaS angle, real depth, and your own human voice. If you share a link, make it the full, direct, clean URL with nothing attached. Write it like you are talking to other builders, not pitching customers.
The fastest way to get banned is direct promotion with no giveaway and no story. Announcements, launch posts, and requests for feedback are all named as prohibited promotion, so do not frame your post that way. AI generated text is banned here, even if you put effort into editing it, and unedited prompt dumps are banned too, so write every word yourself. Vague questions with no depth get removed as low effort. Never use a link shortener, a landing page aggregator, or a tracking or affiliate link, because the rules say disguised links lead to a direct ban for rule evasion. Do not try to sell services, cold DM members, solicit clients, gather emails or testers, or pitch for donations or investment. Keep everything on SaaS topics, because generic business content gets removed. And follow the site-wide rules on personal information, so redact names and private details from any screenshots.

Only with a giveaway attached or a genuine story about why you built it and the problems you hit. The rules call direct promotion without one of those non-productive self-promotion, and the stated penalty is a permanent ban.
No. The rules explicitly prohibit requests for feedback and announcements as forms of promotion, so a launch post will be removed.
No. The rules ban AI generated text and unedited prompt dumps, and they require original human thought in every post.
No. All links must be direct, full, and clean, with no shorteners, landing page aggregators, or tracking and affiliate parameters.
Yes, if it touches on SaaS specifically. The rules allow business, operational, and even personal aspects of the tech business world, but generic entrepreneurship without a SaaS angle gets removed.
