LaunchList v2
Open beta Free to startEverything compared above is LaunchList v1, the original one-time product. It stays live for existing customers but gets no new features. LaunchList v2 is a ground-up rebuild: the same kind of product, pre-launch waitlist software, rebuilt so the whole launch runs on one set of data, with AI that drafts your launch page. It is in beta and open to everyone, free to start, so a new waitlist is best started there.
- Any-identity forms, where email is never required
- Collect email, phone, username, wallet, or no identity at all. Whatever the form captures becomes a filterable column, with validation, conditional logic and multi-step built in.
- Contact Trust on every signup
- Each contact is continuously classified verified, valid, unknown, risky or fake, with the per-check breakdown visible, and referral credit only lands once a signup is verified.
- Email broadcasts from your own sending domain
- Segmented broadcasts and branching automations for confirmation, milestones and countdowns, with unsubscribe suppression and compliance records handled underneath.
- Public REST API and signed webhooks
- Scoped API keys, idempotency and cursor pagination against a published OpenAPI spec, plus signed webhooks across 27 event types with delivery logs, retries and replay.
- Analytics that tell you if a number is good
- Signups, growth curve, conversion rate, K-factor, referred share and your funnel, each shown against a benchmark, plus source attribution and a plain-language launch report.
- AI that drafts your launch page
- Describe your product, or answer a few questions, and v2 drafts the page. An in-app assistant answers questions about your project with sources, and an MCP server lets your own AI agent act on it with consent you can revoke. Free during the beta.
v2 is a subscription, not v1's one-time price: from $9/mo, with a free tier for 250 contacts. Signing up for v2 does not change, move or migrate a v1 account.
Beta pricing, may change after the beta.
LaunchList vs Getwaitlist: feature deep dive
Pricing: subscription vs one-time
Getwaitlist bills month-to-month — stop paying, lose access. LaunchList charges once per project: $19 for up to 500 submissions, $79 for 10,000+. For a typical 3-month pre-launch window, Getwaitlist costs $57+ and renews automatically; LaunchList costs $19–$79 and never renews.
List quality and spam protection
LaunchList applies three spam layers to every signup — disposable-email detection, MX + SMTP domain validation, and behavioral IP/browser scoring. Getwaitlist relies primarily on ReCaptcha. If you run paid ads where a bad lead costs $1–$3, LaunchList's deeper stack pays for itself quickly.
Integrations and ecosystem
LaunchList has 13 native one-click integrations: Webflow, Framer, Carrd, Bubble, Squarespace, WordPress, Bulma, Ghost, Notion, and more. Getwaitlist embeds via a single JavaScript snippet and relies on Zapier for deeper workflows. For no-code founders on Framer or Carrd, LaunchList is materially faster to integrate.
Migration risk
LaunchList backs every Launch plan with a 7-day zero-signup refund. If your waitlist doesn't attract any signups in the first week, you get 100% back — a safety net Getwaitlist does not offer.

Frequently asked questions

What is LaunchList v2? ▾
LaunchList v2 is a ground-up rebuild of LaunchList. It is the same kind of product, pre-launch waitlist software for founders, rebuilt so that the whole launch runs on one set of data: a hosted launch page, verified signups, referrals and rewards, email campaigns, beta access and analytics in one place. It is priced as a monthly or yearly subscription by list size, with a free plan, and is in beta and open to everyone. LaunchList v1, the one-time product compared on this page, keeps running for existing customers but gets no new features.
Can I use LaunchList v2 today? ▾
Yes. v2 is in beta and anyone can sign up free at app.getlaunchlist.com/register, with no application, no invite code and no card. A new workspace starts on the $0 Free plan for up to 250 contacts, and paid plans can be chosen from inside the app.
How much does LaunchList v2 cost? ▾
The Free plan is $0 for 250 contacts. Paid plans are priced by list size, from 500 to 100,000 contacts: the Collect plan from $9 a month, the Launch plan from $19 and the Grow plan from $39. Yearly billing is 2 months free. There is no charge for extra contacts; contacts past your size are held, never deleted. Extra campaign emails are $3 per 1,000, approved by you first. These are beta prices and may change after the beta. Full prices: getlaunchlist.com/v2/pricing.md.
Does LaunchList v2 have AI? ▾
Yes, two things, and both are live in the beta and free while it lasts. AI page creation drafts your launch page from a description of your product or a few questions, and Ask LaunchList answers questions about your project, your audience or how LaunchList works, with sources. v2 also ships an MCP server, so an AI agent you already use can read and act on your project with per-agent consent you can review and revoke. AI generation of emails and forms is not built yet. LaunchList v1 has no AI features.
Do I have to move from LaunchList v1 to v2? ▾
No, but new projects are better started on v2, since every new feature ships there. Existing v1 waitlists keep running on their one-time pricing, existing embeds keep working, and paid waitlists are never deleted. Moving is opt-in and on your own timeline. Customers who paid for v1 get 6 months of the Collect plan free, with no card, if they claim by December 31, 2026; free v1 accounts do not qualify, and nobody is grandfathered onto v2.
What does LaunchList v2 add over v1? ▾
A hosted launch page with a visual block editor, any-identity forms where email is never required, survey forms, Contact Trust verification on every signup with referral credit that only lands once a contact is verified, rewards and points, built-in email broadcasts and branching automations from your own sending domain, controlled beta invites and access codes, segments and funnel stages, custom domains from the Collect plan up, analytics where every metric carries a benchmark, a public REST API with signed webhooks across 27 event types, an MCP server for AI agents, and AI that drafts your launch page. Zapier, Slack and open and click tracking are not in the beta yet.
