Reviews
Perfect Plugin, great support
By kischulte on July 21, 2025
This is precisely what we needed for the sold-out products on our page and to have a good customer retention rate. The Support with my issues, including it on a single product page built with Elementor, was perfect. I just mentioned the issue, and I immediately received feedback. Two days later, the problem was solved by a new version. Thanks a lot again
Free version is excellent with great support!

I am amazed by this plugin. Not only the free version does everything I want (and more!) but author provides quick support (with CSS tweaks!), really going above and beyond. Highly recommended!

I’m using the free version of the plugin, and the support team has been incredibly helpful and responsive. They guided me through some integration issues, and everything is now working perfectly. Really appreciate the great service!

The very best of this plugin category
By jmsil on December 17, 2024
I spent the last few hours testing various "waitlist" plugins for woocommerce and I can save you some time by telling you this is the very best one. It looks great, you can tell it was created by a developer at the top of his game, and it provides tons of well thought out styling and other options.
Better yet, when I needed support, I received great support almost immediately. Highly recommended!
Simple, easy, works as described, fast support

As the review title says, everything is spot on. It's not that often that plugin just works without you having to run laps around it - I was pleasantly surprised. I had a question, emailed support and almost immediately received a reply. Kudos to the developer, please keep up the good work!
Awesome Experience
By kodgems on November 13, 2024
I want to express my gratitude to the developer for their outstanding support. My client was frustrated, and their assistance saved me just in time.
Most effective waitlist plugin, even better support
By Brelix Consulting (brelixconsulting) on November 1, 2024
First time having to passionately rate a plugin on WordPress. I just love its simplicity, and love that the author is quick to providing support. If you're looking for a waitlist plugin, don't hesitate to try this one first!
