GetWaitlist is the most established dedicated waitlist platform — strong viral mechanics, embeddable widget, a public REST API, and deep integrations with HubSpot, Airtable, Slack, and Discord. The gap: no free tier for new accounts since June 2025, custom email domain gated at $250/mo, and no agent integration.
Key differences
GetWaitlist removed their free tier for new accounts in June 2025 — evaluation now costs $15 before you write a line of code. Enlist's free plan includes 500 stored signups and the complete API with no credit card required.
GetWaitlist locks custom email domains to the $250/mo plan. Enlist routes email through your own Resend key — your domain, your sender reputation, from the Launch plan ($15/mo).
GetWaitlist has no MCP integration. Enlist's hosted MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-capable agent create the waitlist and wire the signup route without leaving the chat.
GetWaitlist tracks aggregate email analytics. Enlist writes delivery, open, and click events onto each individual signup row — queryable via the API so you can see exactly which signups never received their confirmation.
Up to 500 signups on the free tier. Add the MCP server and your agent wires the whole integration in one prompt.
