We built WaveUp because we needed it.
Launching a SaaS. Needed a waitlist with referrals.
Everything was expensive, limited, or broken.
So we built the tool we wished existed.
Free. Embeddable. Viral by default.

Most waitlist tools treat devs like they can't code.
WaveUp is API-first.
Full control. Custom embed. Your stack, your rules.
Built by devs who were tired of black-box tools.

Don't write a line of code before you have 100 emails.
The waitlist IS the validation.
- Real demand signal
- Early users to talk to
- Launch day momentum
5 minutes to set up. Free.

Your waitlist signup should bring you 3 more signups.
That's the referral loop. Most founders skip it because it's "complex to build."
We built it for you. Drop the widget, the loop runs itself.

GetWaitlist just killed their free tier.
If you're building in public and need a waitlist before launch, here's what we use:
→ Embeddable widget (5 min setup)
→ Referral engine built-in
→ API-first
→ Actually free

@RONiNmedia000 Exactly — when incumbents drop free tiers, it's the best window to grab early adopters. Yes, double-sided rewards are supported — you can configure what both referrer and referee get. Keeping it flexible so builders can experiment.
@dev_guid Referral tracking is working well — each signup gets a unique link and we track conversions in real time. Still iterating on the dashboard UX but the core engine is solid. Definitely worth adding if you're doing any kind of launch.
