Name: WaitlistPlus
Price: 18 USD

Overview

WaitlistPlus is waiting list software for childcare centers, schools and medical offices, with a signup form, fee collection, priority rules and reminder emails, on self-serve plans from $18 a month with a 14-day trial and no card.

WaitlistPlus is waiting list software for childcare centers, schools and medical offices. The vendor launched as DaycareWaitlist.com in 2011 and later rebranded. In this directory it is listed under childcare enrollment and healthcare. Recorded features include a signup form families can use from any device, priority rules that move certain people up the list, fee collection at signup through Stripe, bulk and reminder emails, and support for several locations through separate sites or a location field in one account.

Pricing is published and self-serve. Starter is $18 a month on monthly billing ($15 a month paid yearly) and includes 50 people, with extra people charged in blocks of 100. Pro is $30 monthly ($25 yearly), includes 200 people and lists a signed BAA. Enterprise is quoted on request. A 14-day free trial needs no card, and there is no free plan. Fee collection adds payment processing fees, and it is limited to the US.

Analytics and the API are tied to the Enterprise plan: the notes record an Enterprise dashboard and reporting, and a custom API integration under Enterprise, plus a webhook API in beta that is enabled through support. No named integrations are recorded, and SMS notifications are not confirmed.
