Promote on Waitly

Get your idea in front of people who'll join.

The biggest reach right now is our weekly newsletter — 10,000+ founders, indie hackers, and product builders who actively want to see what's launching. On-site traffic is growing. Pricing reflects that, honestly.

Why pricing looks different here

Waitly is brand new. The on-site discover feed is small but growing every week — and because we're not pretending otherwise, on-site placements are priced as launch boosts, not ad buys. Our 10k-subscriber newsletter is the proven channel today, so that's where the strongest tier lives. Lock in early-adopter pricing while the audience is small.
