List of waitlist building platforms for a successful launch

From feature-packed builders to minimalist ones- find the right fit for your waitlist launch.

Waitlists have been essential tools for startups, software products, events, causes, e-commerce brands, and many other businesses for a long time. These pages with “coming soon” or “waitlist” sign-up forms are used to build buzz and capture leads before a launch.

This article focuses on the no-code waitlist builders, especially those with hosted landing page support. So you can create a waitlist within minutes without even buying a domain.

To support “Build in Public” community and its members, most tools currently listed here are created by indie developers with whom you can directly engage on X.

In this article, I highlight top waitlist-building tools launched by indie developers, offering no-code solutions to spark excitement and capture leads for your launch.
