Executive Summary

Marketing teams and agencies running Reddit/specialized automations commonly face accidental resubscriptions after free trials, causing surprise charges, wasted spend and extra support work—this affects an estimated 200,000 teams buying ~$6K ACV tools. Beyond direct cost, these incidents increase churn and can raise account risk when automations trigger platform enforcement. You could build a billing-safety layer plus automation orchestration that enforces trial expirations, requires explicit renew consent, offers one-click pause/cancel and surfaces audit logs and anti-bot compliance checks. Technically this would combine reliable webhooks, preflight policy checks and turnkey Stripe/Chargebee integrations so agencies can adopt it without heavy engineering lift. The addressable market is roughly $1.2B (200k teams × $6K ACV) and current trends—growing investment in community marketing, higher user expectations for subscription clarity, and tighter platform enforcement—make a safety-focused product timely; market and revenue scores (85/100 and 82/100) back this up. Agencies and brands will pay for tools that reduce operational risk and client support costs. You can differentiate by tightly coupling billing guardrails with platform-compliance automation and transparent auditability to reduce account-takedown risk, but be upfront that competition is medium and ongoing Reddit policy/anti-bot changes will demand continuous maintenance and partner relationships.
