About Waitlist

Waitlist, available at getwaitlist.com, is a small SaaS tool for collecting pre-launch signups and turning them into a viral referral loop. Founders use it to gauge demand, build an audience before launch and reward early fans who bring in friends.

Each waitlist gets a hosted sign-up page or an embeddable widget that can be placed on any website, including no-code builders like Webflow, Framer and Carrd. When people join, they receive a referral link and a position in line, and every successful referral moves them up, which creates a simple incentive to share. Features include email verification to block fake signups, customizable confirmation emails, leaderboards, analytics on sources and referrals, CSV export, webhooks, a Zapier integration and a REST API for building fully custom forms. New accounts start with a 7-day trial of the Basic plan, and the Advanced and Pro plans add branding removal, Zapier, custom emails and analytics.

Waitlist fits founders launching a SaaS product, mobile app, beta program or hardware preorder who want a referral-powered waitlist without building one. Its scope is intentionally narrow: it does not replace an email marketing platform, so you will still need a tool like Loops, Mailchimp or ConvertKit for newsletters. Viral Loops and KickoffLabs offer broader referral and contest campaigns, LaunchList is a close lightweight competitor, and Prefinery targets more structured beta programs.
