free plan · no card required
Answer real questions in your target subs. No links, no pitch. Just be the most useful reply in the thread.
↑ the actual product: one task today, and where you are on the journey
where Reddit marketing agencies start, on six-month contracts
Reddit posts get removed. Cold promotion from new accounts fares far worse
where Warmstart starts. A month of the paid plan costs what an agency charges for a day
The method
Six phases, one task a day
The phases overlap where the playbook allows: you scout subreddits while the account warms up, and the comments that build karma also build local trust. With an established account, the first launch post can go out in week one.
- 01Day 0
Set up
One real account, yours, not a fresh one per product. Profile and bio set so your profile sells while you comment.
- 02Days 1–14
Warm up
A day-by-day tracker out of Reddit's auto-filter kill zone. Established account? A one-minute checklist and you skip ahead.
- 03Days 1–3
Scout subreddits
Real subreddits where your buyers spend time, with member counts and each sub's self-promo rules. Picked by intent, not size.
- 04Days 3–14
Earn trust
A daily quota of genuinely helpful comments, tracked per subreddit. The same comments build karma and local goodwill at once.
- 05Week 2–3
Launch
A story post that doesn't read like an ad, checked against every rule that gets founders removed before you press post.
- 06Week 3+
Grow
One subreddit a day on rotation, keyword alerts answered while threads are hot, and results logged so you double down on what works.
The product
Built to keep you off the mod queue
Everything the playbook demands is enforced by the product, so nothing gets forgotten on day nine of a fourteen-day plan.
- Anti-ban pre-flight
- Every draft is scored 0 to 100 against the patterns that get posts removed: a pitch in the headline, links placed too early, marketing language, machine-written tells.
- Warm-up tracker
- Fourteen days, tracked daily, with writing help for comments and bios. Gets a cold account past the karma gates most subreddits enforce silently.
- Subreddit scout
- Live data from Reddit: members, rules, self-promo policy. Plus a seven-day rotation so no single sub gets hammered.
- Trust engine
- Daily comment quotas and per-sub counts. Around ten real contributions in a subreddit before your first link there.
- Mention radar
- Keyword alerts on your product, competitors and problem phrases. Threads go cold after 48 hours; Warmstart tells you which ones are still worth answering.
- Promo-ratio meter
- Reddit judges the share of self-promotion across your whole history. Warmstart keeps you under the 10% line without you doing the math.
01 — A coach, not a bot
Warmstart never posts for you.
Reddit's systems now catch roughly 25,000 automated marketing posts every day, and reply-bots get their customers banned. Warmstart takes the opposite bet: it plans, drafts with you and checks your work, but a human presses post. That's what survives.
02 — No kill switch
The biggest Reddit tool died in 2025. We took notes.
When Reddit revoked commercial data access, the category leader shut down overnight. Warmstart's core runs without Reddit's commercial API: the journey, the coaching, the pre-flight, the mention workflow. Your growth system shouldn't depend on someone else's licensing decision.
Pricing
A month of Warmstart costs what an agency costs in a day
Reddit agencies start at $1,495 a month on six-month contracts. Early users get founding prices, locked in for as long as they stay subscribed. Annual billing takes 20% off.

Questions
Asked before buying, answered without spin
Will this actually get me customers?
An honest answer: Reddit is the best-odds free channel for a first batch of customers. Communities rank first or second in every founder survey, while cold email averages a 0.45% reply rate. It still takes 30 to 60 minutes a day of real participation, and results tend to arrive as spikes rather than a steady drip. Most people who fail on Reddit fail by breaking rules this product is built to enforce.
Is this against Reddit's rules?
No, and that's the whole design. Warmstart never posts, votes or comments for you. It coaches you to do what Reddit's guidelines actually ask for: genuine participation, disclosure, and self-promotion kept under roughly 10% of your activity. Automation bots are what get banned.
I sell physical products, not software. Does it apply?
Yes. The method is product-agnostic: warm up, find the niche subreddits, be useful, tell honest stories with real numbers. Physical products often do better, because hobby communities actively want recommendations from makers who show up honestly.
What if Reddit cuts off API access, like it did to other tools?
Very little changes. The largest Reddit research tool shut down in 2025 when Reddit revoked its data access. Warmstart was built after that lesson: the journey, the coaching, the pre-flight checks and the mention workflow all run without Reddit's commercial API.
How should I think about the price?
Compare it to what getting this done actually costs: Reddit agencies start at $1,495 a month, done-for-you services run $700 to $2,000, and a single acquired customer usually covers a year of Pro. A month of Warmstart costs about what an agency costs in a day. Founding users lock their price in for as long as they stay subscribed, and AI usage is capped per plan so there are never overage surprises.
