Building SaaS is hard. Your conversion rate isn't where you want it, churn is a constant battle, and growth feels like it's stalled. Reddit is where other SaaS founders share what actually works—real numbers, real strategies, real failures.
This guide covers the best subreddits for SaaS founders, from general communities like r/SaaS to niche spaces for micro-SaaS builders and indie hackers. Whether you're looking for feedback, growth strategies, or just want to connect with peers who understand the grind, you'll find it here.
Why These Communities Matter
What separates these communities from SaaS Twitter? Honest numbers. People share actual MRR, churn rates, CAC, and LTV. Less bragging, more learning. You'll find posts about failed launches, features nobody wanted, and pricing mistakes that cost thousands. The collective knowledge prevents you from repeating expensive mistakes.
