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

Is Unwaited a form builder?

Yes. Unwaited has custom fields, content blocks, and show/hide rules, with separate workflows for Standard signup pages, walk-in queues, preorders, and bookings.

Can Unwaited send to Notion or Sheets?

Not directly. On Starter and Pro, a webhook to Zapier or Make can write to either.

Why not use Tally's submission limit as a cap?

It is a single total that you reset by hand. Unwaited Standard signup pages can reset capacity on a schedule. Product preorders track stock, while bookings reserve capacity in dated sessions.
