- GetWaitlist wants $50/mo for referral tracking. We include it on our $3/mo plan.
- LaunchList charges $29/mo and doesn't even track referrals.
- Most waitlist tools cap signups at 1,000 unless you pay more. We never cap anything.
MakeEmWait gives you referral tracking, unlimited signups, API access, and 4 embed themes + unstyled — starting at $3/mo.
Every signup becomes your best marketer
Each person who joins your waitlist gets a unique referral link. When someone signs up through that link, the referrer moves up in line. It's a built-in incentive loop that turns passive signups into active promoters.
- Unique referral link per signup
- Configurable position boost per referral (1-100)
- Public leaderboard to gamify sharing
- Referral notification emails & milestone rewards
- Social sharing buttons (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp, copy link)
Embed anywhere in 30 seconds
