LaunchSuite vs. GetWaitlist
GetWaitlist is a fast, API-driven waitlist widget for developers — but it removed its free plan in mid-2025, and it's not a page builder. You need an existing site to embed into.
Our verdict
LaunchSuite for founders who need a hosted page. GetWaitlist for developers embedding into an existing site.
GetWaitlist's core product is a JavaScript embed widget — drop a snippet into your existing Webflow, Framer, or custom site and you have a waitlist in 10 minutes. Strong API, solid analytics, good integrations. But it removed its free plan in mid-2025, starts at $15/month, and doesn't include a standalone landing page builder. If you don't already have a site, GetWaitlist isn't the right starting point. LaunchSuite gives you the full hosted page plus referral mechanics for $5/month — or free.

When to choose GetWaitlist instead
A developer who already has a Webflow, Framer, or custom site and wants to add waitlist mechanics via a widget — and needs API access to pull signup data into their own systems.
If that's not you:
LaunchSuite's free plan gets your waitlist live in under an hour — drag-and-drop page builder, referral loop, analytics, and email confirmation, all included. Upgrade to Pro ($5/month) for custom domains and unlimited waitlists.
Frequently asked questions
Does GetWaitlist still have a free plan?
No. GetWaitlist removed its free plan for new accounts in mid-2025. Existing accounts were grandfathered. New accounts start at $15/month.
Can GetWaitlist build a standalone waitlist page?
GetWaitlist's primary product is an embeddable widget. It offers a basic hosted page option, but it is not a drag-and-drop builder — you can't design a full landing page from scratch.
Does LaunchSuite work as an embed widget too?
LaunchSuite's primary use case is a hosted, standalone waitlist page. If you need to embed a waitlist form into an existing site, GetWaitlist's widget model is a better fit for that specific workflow.
How much does it cost to get referral mechanics on GetWaitlist?
The referral leaderboard requires the Advanced plan at $50/month. LaunchSuite includes referral mechanics on the free plan and the $5/month Pro plan.
