Create viral waitlists in minutes. Built-in referrals, professional templates, real-time analytics—everything you need to turn curiosity into customers. Pay once and launch, or choose flexible monthly plans.
Let's be honest about waitlist tools...
Most waitlist tools charge monthly: $29, $49, even $79 per month.
But here's the thing—most people only need a waitlist for 2-3 months before they launch.
That's $87-$237 for something you could pay for once.
Plus another subscription draining your account. Forever.
45-minute setup guides. Confusing dashboards. Features you'll never use.
You just want to collect emails and build excitement.
They want you to "configure your omnichannel engagement strategy."
Hard pass.
Want to remove their branding? Pay extra.
Want a custom domain? Upgrade.
Want a second waitlist? More money.
Want API access? Enterprise plan only.
It's 2025. This stuff should just be included.
We built Waitly to fix all of this. ↓
Simple pricing. Powerful features. No BS.
Pay Once or Monthly—Your Choice
One-time plans: Pay once, use for your launch, done. Perfect for single launches (most people).
Monthly plans: Ongoing access, cancel anytime. Perfect for multiple launches or testing ideas.
Either way: 60-75% cheaper than the competition.
Example: 3-month launch period
Same features. Way better price.
