When to pick which channel

No religion. Here's the decision framework we've seen work across dozens of B2B SaaS teams.

Pick Reddit when…

  • Your buyers research products publicly (SaaS, dev tools, bootstrapped)
  • You need long-tail Google / AI visibility for category keywords
  • Your ACV is under $10K and LinkedIn ads don't pencil out
  • Your product has a passionate end-user audience

Pick LinkedIn when…

  • You sell to specific titles (CISO, VP Eng, CFO)
  • Your ACV is $50K+ and each lead is worth the CPL
  • You need ABM, a known list of 200–500 target accounts
  • Your buyer never posts on Reddit (highly regulated industries)

Do both when…

  • Your ICP is on both (most modern B2B SaaS buyers)
  • You want top-of-funnel on Reddit + ABM close on LinkedIn
  • You're testing which channel has lower CAC in your niche
