Pricing and limits
One-time per waitlist. What the free tier includes, what a license unlocks, and how signup capacity works.
UseWait bills once per waitlist, not monthly. A waitlist has a launch window of a few weeks but stays online forever, so a subscription would charge for calendar time the customer does not use.

A free account holds one unlicensed waitlist at a time. Licensing it frees the slot, so the limit never gets in the way once you are paying.
Creating is always free
A license activates when you publish or take your first signup, never when you create. Creating waitlists, iterating on the page code, and deleting them costs nothing.
This is what makes agent-driven setup work: your agent can create a waitlist, refine the page over several passes, and only when you say “ship it” does anything get charged.
Signup capacity
When a waitlist reaches its cap, the form closes but the page stays online. Existing signups remain accessible and exportable, referral links keep working, and the page never goes dark. Reaching the cap usually means the launch is working, which is the worst possible moment for a page to disappear.
At 80%
You get an email while there is still room, not after the form has closed.
At 100%
The form shows “at capacity” and stops accepting signups. A 5% burst buffer means a traffic spike is not cut mid-flight.
Add capacity
$5 for 5,000 more signups, as many times as you need. Enable auto-extend at checkout and capacity is topped up automatically using your saved card, so a spike while you are asleep does not cost you signups.
AI generations
The generator pool is a lifetime allowance, not monthly: 5 requests on a free account, plus 30 for every license you buy.
Buying from an agent
Any API or MCP action that needs a license returns HTTP 402 with a checkout link:
{
"error": "Custom domains need a licensed waitlist. Upgrade this one for $12.",
"upgradeUrl": "https://usewait.com/dashboard/waitlists",
"priceUsd": 12
}Over MCP, the upgrade_waitlist tool returns a checkout URL directly. The agent relays it, you pay, and the agent carries on.
Existing subscribers
Monthly plans are no longer sold. If you already have one it keeps working exactly as it did, with every capability you have today, for as long as the subscription is active.
