Depends

Should I use LaunchList?

Pre-launch waitlist software with built-in referrals and spam protection; v1 is a one-time purchase, v2 is free to start. - getlaunchlist.com

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Pricing is confusing: v1 one-time, v2 free, Pro $29/mo — third parties cite different numbers.

medium

Competitor claims multi-project founders can't run all waitlists on a single plan; verify before buying.

medium

Low ARR and unfunded status mean thin support and uncertain long-term roadmap.

Name collision: is an unrelated to-do app — don't confuse vendors.
