Overview

Waitlister is a no-code waitlist builder for startups and app developers, with a free plan for 100 subscribers, paid plans from $19 a month, a points-based referral program, a leaderboard embed, email broadcasts and an API on every plan.

Waitlister is a no-code waitlist builder for startups, ecommerce sellers, app developers and online course creators who collect early-user signups before a launch. It is listed in the pre-launch category. The operator is Lemon Tree Ventures, LLC, a Delaware company.

A waitlist can be published with a hosted landing page builder or an embeddable form widget added with two lines of code. The referral program awards points for signups and referrals, and a leaderboard embed shows rankings on paid plans. Email broadcasts and welcome emails start on the Launch plan. A REST API is documented, and the pricing table lists API access on all five plans. Subscriber data endpoints and webhooks need Growth.

Pricing is self-serve and published. The free plan allows one waitlist and 100 subscribers. Paid plans are Launch at $19 a month, Pro at $29, Growth at $49 and Business at $129, with unlimited subscribers on paid plans. Email sending is capped per month at 2,500, 5,000, 10,000 or 50,000. Yearly billing gives two months free, and prices exclude VAT outside the EU and UK. Custom enterprise plans are available by contacting the vendor.
