Overview

Waitlistr hosts public waiting lists and giveaways for makers, pet breeders, event organizers and small sellers, with a free plan for 50 members, paid plans from $6 a month and optional payments to secure a spot.

Waitlistr is a hosted service for public waiting lists and giveaways. Its stated users include artists and makers, pet breeders, beauty professionals, teachers, gaming communities and event organizers, so it is broader than a launch tool for software teams. It stays in the pre-launch category. The company is Waitlistr, Inc.

A list owner sets up a short form and a landing page. Members can be messaged through a native chat, and custom emails are available on the Premium plans. Viral sharing rewards members who get friends and family to join. The site also describes taking payment to secure a member’s spot, or invoicing members, though payment processing fees are not shown on the plans page. The embeddable signup widget, private lists, member download and analytics are listed from Premium upward, and webhooks only on Premium Plus. A line in the comparison table reads API (Coming Soon), and its availability is unclear.

Pricing is self-serve and published. Free allows 1 list with 50 members. Starter is $6 a month for 2 lists with 250 members each, Premium is $12 and Premium Plus is $29, with member limits per list of 1,500 and 75,000 on the two Premium plans. There are no setup fees. Premium plans include a 7-day trial. Monthly billing is the default and an annual plan is offered.

No named integrations page exists. Member data can be exported for use in tools such as Mailchimp and SendGrid.
