Hey Hunters! 👋
I launched Waitlister on Product Hunt a while back as an easy way to spin up waitlist landing pages. Since then, it's grown into a full platform powering waitlists for thousands of users.
What's new since last time:
🔌 Native plugins for Framer, Webflow, WordPress, and Wix
🤖 AI landing page builder that generates a full waitlist page from a one-line description
🌐 Custom domains + custom email sending domains so your waitlist looks like part of your brand
🔗 Webhook events (signups, referrals, milestones, unsubscribes) for connecting Waitlister to anything
🛡️ Smart referral fraud detection with device fingerprinting + multi-signal scoring
...and more
The thesis hasn't changed: waitlists are one of the highest-leverage things a pre-launch product can do, and many existing tools either cost too much or do too little.
Free plan is generous, and if you remember it from last time, Pro now does a lot more at the same price.
Hit me with questions, ideas, or feature requests 🙏
@devin_dev The native plugin integrations are a smart move—removing friction for the platforms people already use is huge. The AI landing page builder solves a real pain point too, especially for founders who just want to get something live fast without design overhead.

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.
@vincentf Appreciate it, and good luck with your launch 👊
It's not native, but signup order + timestamps + tagging are all there, so you can handle tiered cutoffs pretty cleanly.

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:
@yodalr You are right. Thank you for pointing this out!

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?
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?
@uxpinjack Ads and social media are popular, but the largest waitlists are typically grown with UGC.

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.
@naumaan_zahid Yes, you can use double opt-in for B2C emails.
Or were you thinking about consent/compliance specifically, or more about capturing and separating B2C leads pre-launch?

@devin_dev I guess I'm talking about both, I'm in the UK and GDPR is a necessary evil that we all have to contend with, as a solo-founder I want to promote/market my products but there are so many traps.

Do you have an SDK or API for engineers building pages?
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
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?

@ahmadhajj It can do a decent job. That said, at the current state, I always edit heavily AI generated copy and design.

@jon_vogel1 Yes, we have an API. More here: https://waitlister.me/docs/api
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
