FAQ
Questions
Can I ask for a deposit with Unwaited?
No. Unwaited does not take payments. Send an invoice or checkout link when you confirm the spot.
Can I keep my list private?
Yes. Names and emails are never shown publicly. Joiners see only their own number and, if you enable it, the running count.
How many lists can I have on Free?
As many as you want. The free plan caps signups at 100 a month across the account, not lists.
