This is such a thoughtful build. Waitlists are weirdly hard to do well, and most tools either feel barebones or like overkill. As a solo founder pre-launching my own iOS and Android app right now, the timing is uncanny. Curious, what's the most surprising thing you learned about what a "launch waitlist" actually needs vs. a regular email signup?

Running a beta launch currently . The waitlist tool is never the hard part, it's what you do with that list between signup and launch day that determines whether those people actually show up. Does the Waitlister have any built-in sequencing for that middle phase or is that still DIY ?

Really dig the approach here. Going live in 10 minutes with referrals and email automation baked in is exactly what most early-stage founders need. Curious how the referral system tends to perform compared to plain signup flows?

Everything is locked behind a paywall. It makes you wonder why even have a free version in the first place… also, another small gripe I have is why does every company go for the subscription model? It’s getting real tiresome needing to subscribe to everything and racking up hundreds of dollars in subscription payments every month for something I’ll only use for a limited time… this would fall into that category unless I plan to stay in waitlist mode forever, eventually I’m going to launch and I won’t need the software anymore. A better pricing model in my opinion is charging a one time fee per waitlist since you can’t change the name once it’s set so if someone is creating multiple products they have to pay a fee for each. You would be able to charge more, make more, and acquire more users

Waitlists sound great on paper, but a lot of them end up being just a list of emails that never really convert

The hard part is what happens after someone signs up

Would be interesting to hear how this performs when it comes to actual users, not just signups

Does Waitlister cover opt-in for B2C marketing? I didn't bother with a waitlist for my product but now I only have the setup to generated & communicate with B2B leads. Would've been great if I captured B2C opt-in's prior to launch using a waitlist.

congrats on the relaunch. prepping my own PH launch in 2 weeks and the question i actually care about does waitlister natively segment signups by order ? trying to do honest founding-member scarcity (first 50 at price A, next 50 at price B, then standard) without faking a live counter. saw you have webhook events so worst case i wire the cutoff myself, but native would be cleaner. and fwiw the device fingerprinting on referrals is the spec i wish more tools had had to roll my own trial-fingerprint table for similar reasons.

Really like this focus. Building a waitlist before launching is still underrated. How are people typically driving traffic to their waitlist pages once they’re set up?

the AI landing page from one line is either going to be really good or really generic. curious what the output actually looks like — does it pull in real copy or is it placeholder vibes until you edit it?

Congratz on launch. Just some feedback about the page design. Basically I like that it is full screen width, but these elements get stretched out on 2560x1440p monitors so that the illustrations and text-boxes are at the opposite sides of the page making it look kind of wonky:
