Free tools for indie founders

30-second utilities that slice Nichestarter, NicheReach, and NicheMatch — shareable results, SEO-friendly pages, and a clear path into the product that finishes the job.

• Community Finder

  Enter your product category and get ranked Reddit communities (plus Discord, Facebook groups, and newsletters) with member size, activity, and self-promo tolerance — free, no signup.

• Post Safety Checker

  Paste a Reddit comment or post draft. Get a removal-risk score, promo flags, and rewrite tips — free, no account. Checks language and known community norms, not account shadowban status.

• Reddit 9:1 Calculator

  Enter how many helpful comments vs self-promo mentions you posted in the last 14 days. See your safety score, soft-pitch lock status, and how many more pure-value replies you need — free, client-side.

• SaaS Launch Channel Scorer

  Answer a few questions about audience, stage, and promo tolerance. Get a ranked list of launch channels (Reddit, Product Hunt, HN, Indie Hackers, X, newsletters, co-marketing) with fit scores and risks.

• Idea Pain Validator

  Describe your business idea in one sentence. Get instant scores for hard need, audience fit, and commercial potential — plus related complaint themes when public data matches.

• Co-Marketing Fit Checker

  Pick your project type and a partner type (or describe both). See complementarity score, audience overlap notes, and whether a shoutout / P.S. swap makes sense — free gateway into NicheMatch.
