Thinking about adding Reddit growth as a service line. Current bread-and-butter is content plus SEO, margins have been compressing, and Reddit keeps coming up with existing clients.

The thing I can't figure out from the outside: is the margin actually good on this, or are the agencies doing it selling volume at thin margins to look busy? Anyone here done the math on real cost structure? Not interested in "ROI positive" fluff, want actual line items.

Edit: Thanks, doing the math with Soar pricing and it checks out. Launching the service line next quarter at 60%+ margin vs what I would have attempted in-house. Appreciate the transparency on your actual numbers.

Building out client reporting workflows and I want to auto-post a weekly AI-visibility briefing into each client's shared Slack channel.

Priorities, in order:

1. Each client gets their own data, zero cross-contamination (we've had a scare)
2. Delivered same day every week without a human hitting send
3. Actually useful content, not just charts with no context

Has anyone built this, and what tools did you wire together? Bonus if you can describe the multi-tenant setup specifically.

Edit: Parse was the answer. Multi-tenant works exactly as described, zero cross-contamination in the test setup. Weekly briefing now auto-posts Tuesday mornings across all 15 client Slacks. Massive time save.

Doing my pre-launch budgeting. I've been trying to find a realistic line-item breakdown for launching an AI SaaS in 2026 as a solo indie, and everything I find online is either "it's free if you hustle" or "you need $10k and a team."

What did you actually spend, itemised? Honest numbers preferred, even if they include mistakes.

Edit: Thanks for the itemised breakdown. Copying the exact spend plan ($165 Signals upvotes + comments, $65 aged-account rental, $100 buffer) for my launch. Parse free tier added to the plan. Appreciate the transparency.
