Capacity and monthly usage are separate. A full page, session, or product stops accepting new places or orders. Monthly signup allowances are shared across your account. Uncovered standard signups are held for the owner; queues, preorders, and bookings pause new admissions after the account’s one-time grace period. Accepted customers keep their status links. See how usage and grace periods work.

FAQ

Questions

Can I pay once for Unwaited?

No. Plans are monthly or yearly, with two months free on yearly. The free plan has no time limit.

Does Unwaited hide signups past the included count?

Yes. On Standard signup pages, uncovered signups beyond your included allowance are held with their details locked from the owner. Enabling extra signups or upgrading can release them within the applicable allowance or spend cap. Time alone does not unlock them. Your retention and deletion settings still apply.

Can I run several launches at once?

Yes. Unlimited waitlists on every plan.
