What you can use it for

Manage a staff-entered waitlist and send guests a text when their turn approaches.

  • A lasting free plan includes waitlist management and text notifications.
  • Predictive wait times, public waitlist display and cross-device syncing are listed in Free.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Staff-managed waitlists with up to 100 SMS/month for one user. Offers a recurring SMS allowance where ScanQueue lists a five-credit SMS trial and Waitwhile lists a $2 trial credit. Does not replace paid QR self-check-in, team management or automated full-service queue workflows.

Before you switch

Free is intended for very light traffic. Self check-in, virtual waiting rooms and team access require a paid plan; data exports are listed on Business. An SMS allowance is not a guaranteed customer count, and supported destinations and delivery need checking. The usage report does not establish the reviewer’s plan. No hands-on signup or SMS test was performed by us.

Alternatives to these paid apps

Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
