Enter a Reddit username on the left and hit "Analyze Profile."
Enter any public Reddit username above and the tool fetches live data from Reddit's own API: karma, account age, cake day, top subreddits, post-to-comment ratio, and activity timing. It then rolls all of that into a single Marketing Readiness Score from 0 to 100, plus 3 to 4 plain-language recommendations. Use this before you post anything promotional. An account with low karma, an account under 90 days old, or an account with no history in your target subreddit is far more likely to get auto-removed regardless of how good your post is. Checking first, posting second, saves you the frustration of a silently deleted thread.
Every number in the result card maps to something moderators or AutoMod actually check. Here is the plain-language explanation for each one.
Account age
Days and years since the account was created. This is the single most common gate in AutoModerator rules. Subreddits commonly require accounts to be at least 3, 10, 30, or 90 days old before allowing a post, and business or SaaS subreddits often push that to 180 days.
Total karma
The sum of link (post) karma and comment karma. Most karma gates in marketing-adjacent subreddits sit somewhere between 10 and 500 combined karma. Higher totals rarely unlock anything extra beyond clearing the initial gate, which is why our score uses a logarithmic curve instead of a straight line.
Top subreddits
The 8 communities where the account has posted or commented most, ranked by count. This tells you and any moderator reviewing your history exactly where your credibility already exists and where you are showing up for the first time.
Post-to-comment ratio
How many comments exist for every post. Accounts that only post and rarely comment read as promotional or bot-like. A healthier ratio, generally several comments per post, signals a real participant rather than someone dropping links and leaving.
Average post and comment score
The average upvote score across your recent posts and comments. Consistently low or negative averages suggest content that is not resonating with the communities you are posting in, which is worth fixing before a bigger campaign.
Most active hour and day
Computed in UTC from the timestamps on your recent posts and comments. Useful for spotting your natural posting rhythm and for planning campaign timing around when the account is already active.
Marketing Readiness Score
A single 0 to 100 number combining age, karma, balance, diversity, and recent activity. Treat anything under 45 as a account that needs warm-up time, 45 to 74 as workable with care, and 75 or higher as ready for most marketing-friendly subreddits.
Subreddit moderators and AutoModerator both use combinations of age and karma to decide whether a post gets published, held for review, or removed automatically. Here is how each tier is typically treated.
| Tier | Age or Karma Range | What Mods Infer | Marketing Readiness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand new | Under 10 days old, under 10 karma | Likely a throwaway or freshly created promotional account. Heavily scrutinized by both mods and AutoMod. | Not ready. Most subs auto-remove any link or promotional post from this tier. |
| Warming up | 10 to 30 days old, 10 to 100 karma | Past the newest throwaway window but still unproven. AutoMod rules commonly gate this tier from posting. | Comment only. Build karma in your target niche before attempting a post. |
| Established | 30 to 90 days old, 100 to 500 karma | Cleared the most common AutoMod age gate. Karma suggests a few weeks of genuine participation. | Ready for lower-strictness subreddits. Still risky for tightly moderated business communities. |
| Trusted | 90 to 365 days old, 500 to 5,000 karma | Past nearly every common AutoMod threshold. History is long enough to demonstrate real engagement. | Ready for most marketing-friendly subreddits, including SaaS and startup communities. |
| Veteran | 1 to 3 years old, 5,000 to 25,000 karma | Rarely questioned by mods. Long history reduces suspicion even for first posts in a new subreddit. | Highly ready. Focus shifts from account trust to post quality and subreddit fit. |
| Power user | 3+ years old, 25,000+ karma | Long-term community member, often recognized in niche circles. Sometimes moderates other subreddits. | Fully ready. The account itself is essentially never the limiting factor. |
Run your account through the analyzer above, then match your results against these conditions before you hit submit anywhere.
If your readiness score is under 45
Do not attempt promotional posts yet, even in loosely moderated subreddits. Spend the next few weeks commenting genuinely in your target niche to raise both age and karma naturally.
If your account is under 90 days old
Skip business and SaaS subreddits entirely for now. A large share of these communities enforce a 90-day minimum through AutoModerator, and the post will be silently removed regardless of quality.
If your readiness score is 45 to 74
You can post, but stick to subreddits where your top subreddits list already shows activity. Avoid brand-new communities where you have zero history.
If your post-to-comment ratio shows mostly posts and few comments
Pause new posts and comment for a week or two first. A history that is almost entirely posts with little conversation is one of the fastest ways to get flagged as promotional.
If your readiness score is 75 or higher
You are in good shape to post in most marketing-friendly subreddits, including tighter communities like r/SaaS or r/startups. Focus your energy on the post itself rather than the account.
If your top subreddits list has no overlap with where you want to post
Spend a week or two commenting in that specific subreddit first. Sub-specific history matters more to mods than your overall totals, even on an old, high-karma account.
If your daysSinceLastActivity is over 30
A dormant account looks different to mod tools than an actively used one. A short run of normal activity before your campaign helps the account look organic rather than reactivated for a launch.
If your Marketing Readiness Score came back low, follow this sequence over 2 to 4 weeks before your first promotional post.
Use the analyzer to see your current top subreddits, then add a handful more that overlap with where you eventually want to post. Diversity across related communities counts toward your readiness score and builds a broader base of trust.
Spend the first week purely commenting. Answer questions, add genuine value, and avoid mentioning your product at all. This is what moves your post-to-comment ratio into a healthier range.
A handful of thoughtful comments spread across several days looks far more natural than 20 comments posted in one hour. Reddit's spam systems and human moderators both notice bursty activity patterns.
Do not chase karma farming subreddits purely to inflate the number. Karma earned in unrelated communities does little for your credibility in your actual target subreddit, since mods weight sub-specific history heavily.
Run the account back through this analyzer every week. Watch your readiness score, subreddit diversity, and post-to-comment ratio trend upward before you plan your first real post.
Before any product mention, post something that adds value with zero ask attached: a lesson learned, a resource, or an honest question. This establishes the account as a participant, not a marketing vehicle, right before you need that credibility most.
Most Reddit marketing failures trace back to one of these avoidable errors, all visible in a profile analysis before they happen.
Posting from a brand-new account with zero history. Even a great product post gets auto-removed on sight if the account is a week old with no comment history. Check age and karma first, every time, no exceptions.
Assuming total karma is enough on its own. A 10,000 karma account built entirely in unrelated meme subreddits carries little weight in a business subreddit. Sub-specific history matters more than the raw total.
Ignoring the post-to-comment ratio. An account with 50 posts and 2 comments reads as a marketing account at a glance, regardless of age or karma. This is one of the fastest ways to get shadow-flagged by both mods and automated spam filters.
Not checking activity recency before a campaign. A dormant account suddenly posting a product link after 6 months of silence is a classic pattern moderators watch for. A short warm-up period of normal activity avoids this red flag entirely.
Buying or reusing old accounts without auditing them. Purchased or repurposed accounts often carry a hidden history: prior bans, karma from banned subreddits, or a wildly unrelated posting pattern. Run any account through an analyzer before relying on it for marketing.
Treating every subreddit's thresholds as identical. A 30-day, 100-karma account might be fine in a smaller niche subreddit and immediately removed in a stricter, larger one. Check the specific subreddit's posting rules alongside your account's readiness score.

Rough share of new promotional posts that get auto-removed for missing an account requirement
These ranges reflect common patterns across publicly visible AutoModerator rules and subreddit wikis. Individual subreddits vary, and rules change over time, so always check a specific community's posting requirements before you submit.
Generally yes, at least as a gate. Account age is a hard cutoff in most AutoModerator setups, meaning a 29-day-old account with 5,000 karma still gets blocked from a subreddit requiring 30 days. Karma tends to matter more once you clear the age gate, since it signals ongoing participation rather than a one-time signup.
Yes. The score reflects account trust, not post quality or subreddit rule compliance. A veteran account with a perfect score can still get a post removed for breaking a specific subreddit's self-promotion rule, using a banned link shortener, or posting in the wrong flair category. Treat the score as clearing the first hurdle, not a guarantee.
Often, yes. Checking a competitor's or an influential user's top subreddits and activity pattern can reveal which communities are actually engaged with your market, not just the obvious ones. Since account data is public, this is a legitimate research step, similar to checking a competitor's public social media following.
Running an analysis before a campaign is not free of tradeoffs. Here is a balanced look at both sides. Tools like MediaFast can turn a weak profile analysis into an actual growth plan once you know where you stand.
Avoids wasted effort on posts that would have been auto-removed anyway.
Surfaces exactly which subreddits already trust your account, saving research time.
Gives a concrete, numeric benchmark to track improvement over weeks.
Works on any public account, including ones you are vetting before a partnership.
Takes under a minute, with zero login or account connection required.
The score is a general signal, not a guarantee that any specific subreddit will accept a post.
It cannot see private messages, removed posts, or moderator-only ban history.
Reddit's public API can rate-limit heavy usage, so results may occasionally be delayed.
A high score does not fix a genuinely low-effort or off-topic post.
Subreddit rules change frequently, so a score is only as current as the moment you check it.
Now that you know your score, MediaFast turns it into a plan: the right subreddits, posts that fit each community, and a roadmap to build the credibility your account is missing.
Everything you need to know about analyzing a Reddit account before you market on it.
A Reddit profile analyzer pulls public data from Reddit's API and turns it into a readable report. Our tool shows account age, cake day, total and split karma, your top 8 most active subreddits, post-to-comment ratio, average post and comment scores, the hour and day you post most, and a Marketing Readiness Score that summarizes how prepared the account is to post in marketing-sensitive communities.
Yes, completely free with no login or signup required. Enter any public Reddit username and hit Analyze Profile. We fetch live data directly from Reddit's public JSON API, so every report reflects the account's current state, not a cached snapshot from months ago.
The Marketing Readiness Score is a 0 to 100 rating we calculate from five weighted factors: account age, total karma, the balance between posting and commenting, how many different subreddits the account is active in, and how recently it has posted or commented. A higher score means the account is less likely to get auto-removed or flagged when it starts posting in business, SaaS, or product-related subreddits.
Account age contributes up to 30 points, with full credit around two years old. Total karma contributes up to 30 points on a logarithmic scale, so the jump from 10 to 1,000 karma matters more than the jump from 50,000 to 100,000. Posting and commenting balance contributes up to 20 points, rewarding accounts that comment more than they post. Subreddit diversity contributes up to 10 points, and recent activity contributes up to 10 points, decaying if the account has been inactive for more than a week.
You can analyze any public Reddit account, not just your own. Account creation date, karma totals, and recent post and comment history are all public information exposed through Reddit's open API. This makes the tool useful for checking your own account before a campaign, vetting an account you are considering buying or partnering with, or researching how an active community member built their profile.
Moderators and AutoModerator bots often check whether an account has a genuine history inside a subreddit before approving a post, especially in business, SaaS, and startup communities. If your top subreddits are unrelated to where you want to post, that is a signal worth fixing before you launch a campaign. Seeing your top 8 subreddits at a glance tells you exactly where your existing credibility lives and where it is missing.
