Back to the exampleYou built it. Nobody came.
Describe your product. Postwise maps the subreddits where your buyers ask for help, with each one's self-promo rules, karma limits, ban risk and post ideas that fit.
First community map free. Reddit only, covered deeply.
"Go where your users are" is the advice. Nobody tells you where that is, or what gets you removed once you get there.
You shipped. The product does what it says. Your analytics show three visitors, and two of them are you.
Every sub has its own self-promo rules, karma thresholds and account-age limits. You find out after the mods do.
Your posts looked live to you. Nobody else saw them. That's a week of effort, and maybe a channel, gone.
Cold outreach went nowhere. Product Hunt brought one day of other makers, not buyers. "Build in public" isn't a plan.
Every time you mention your product you feel like a spammer. So you either don't post, or you post badly.
No account linking, no auto-posting. You get a report and decide what to do with it.
What it does, who pays for it, the problem it solves. A few sentences is enough. A landing page link helps.
Postwise ranks the subreddits where your buyers ask for help, with each sub's self-promo rules, karma and age limits, and ban risk.
Start with the safe subs. Use the post ideas written for each community's norms, and wait out the ones you're not eligible for yet.
Listening tools find threads. Postwise tells you which communities fit and how to post there without getting removed.
Ranked by how often people describe your problem there, not by subscriber count. A 40k sub full of buyers beats a 2M sub full of founders.
Each sub's rules, sidebar notes and pinned-thread requirements, summarized: where links are allowed, where they're not, and which weekly thread to use.
Low, medium or high risk per sub, so you know where a launch post is fine and where it gets your account removed.
See which subs you can't post in yet and how far you are from eligible, instead of finding out from an auto-removal.
Suggested angles for each top sub: a question to answer, a lesson to share, a thread to reply to. Helpful first, product second.
A checklist for spotting silent removals early, so you don't spend a week posting into nothing.
The product works. You have no audience, no network, and no idea where your first customers hang out.
You posted a launch, the mods pulled it, and now you're nervous to post anywhere.
You'd rather write code than marketing copy, and you want a concrete list instead of generic growth advice.
B2B tools, dev tools, niche SaaS, consumer apps: if people describe your problem in subreddits, we can map them.
Probably not for you if: You need channels beyond Reddit. We cover Reddit only at launch.; You want a tool that posts for you. Postwise never posts on your behalf.; You already have a working distribution channel and steady signups..
Because on Reddit, a bad first post can cost you the channel for good.

$29/ month
Reddit only at launch. We'd rather cover one platform deeply than five badly.
You can. It takes days of reading sidebars, wikis and pinned posts across dozens of subs, and you still won't see karma thresholds or removal patterns until you hit them. Your first map is free, so you can judge whether it beats doing it by hand.
No. Mods have the final say and rules change. Postwise shows the written rules, eligibility limits and a risk score so you avoid the obvious mistakes. Your posts still need to be genuinely useful to that community.
No. Postwise never touches your Reddit account. You get a report with communities, rules, risk and post ideas. You write and post yourself, which is also what keeps you from looking like a bot.
Reddit is where solo founders get removed and shadowbanned most, and every sub has different rules. We'd rather get that right before adding other platforms.
The free map covers one product: ranked subreddits, self-promo rules, karma and age limits, ban risk, and post ideas for your top subs. Pro gives you unlimited maps, re-runs when you reposition, and post ideas for every matched sub.
We use it to build your map and nothing else. We don't publish it, post it anywhere, or share it with other users.
Listening tools surface threads and keywords. They don't tell you which communities fit your product or what gets you removed there. Postwise focuses on fit, rules and ban risk.
Describe your product and get a ranked map of subreddits, with self-promo rules and ban risk for each. The first one's free.
