Collect confirmed emails on a hosted beta signup page, see which early users bring their colleagues, and let people in at a pace your onboarding can handle.
Free plan: 300 confirmed leads • No credit card
You want enough users to surface the bugs and the confusing parts of onboarding, and few enough that you can talk to every one of them. Open the doors to everyone who clicked a teaser post and your first two weeks go to support tickets from people who were never going to pay.
A waitlist puts you in charge of the order. You decide who goes first and how many people get in each round. Every signup on WaitlistMaster has to confirm their email before it counts, so the list is real inboxes, not typos and throwaway addresses. When you send the first batch of invites, they land.
The best beta testers aren't the first to sign up. They're the ones who care enough about the problem to recruit for you. After confirming, everyone on your list gets a personal referral link they can share to Twitter or LinkedIn in one click. A founder who brings in three people from their team is telling you something. They're the ones who show up to user interviews and become paying accounts.
Referral counts are tracked per person. You can also turn on a public leaderboard, which gives people a visible reason to share. On paid plans, the analytics dashboard shows confirmed signups over time and your top referrers, so picking the first cohort is quick.
You don't have to invite everyone at once. On the Starter plan, export your confirmed leads as a CSV and invite a group from whatever you already use for onboarding. Once they're settled, go back for the next one.
Some testers matter more than their place in line: a design partner, a big-logo prospect. On the Growth plan, the REST API lets you look up any lead and change their position in the queue.
When the beta is ready for a wider audience, send a launch announcement to your confirmed list straight from the dashboard.
Sign up free and create a project. Pick a subdomain, write a headline that says who the beta is for, and upload your logo.
Enable referrals, then share yourname.waitlistmaster.com wherever your early users are: your site's access button, your social bio, launch posts.
Watch confirmed signups and referral counts come in, then invite the first group you can support. Repeat when you're ready for more.
Keep access and signup separate. The waitlist collects and confirms emails; nobody gets into your product until you send them an invite. Let the list grow, invite a batch you can support, and invite the next one when you're ready.
Yes. Your waitlist is a hosted page at yourname.waitlistmaster.com, so it works on its own. Share the link in launch posts, community threads, or cold emails. If you already have a site, point your "Request access" button at it.
WaitlistMaster's free plan covers up to 300 confirmed leads and includes the referral program, with no credit card required. That's enough for most private betas. Paid plans add CSV export, analytics and a welcome email (Starter), and API access (Growth).
Everyone who confirms their email gets a personal referral link with one-click sharing to Twitter and LinkedIn. When someone joins through that link, it counts toward the referrer's total, and you can use those totals to decide who gets beta access first.
Free for up to 300 confirmed leads. No credit card required.
