A WaitQ alternative that doesn't charge per location
WaitQ prices by the number of locations, with $20 a month for each extra one and extra messages billed on top. In QR Wait every location draws on the same prepaid ticket balance.
The first 250 tickets are free, no credit card needed.

What the models mean for you
Several locations
Per-location plans multiply the price by the number of sites. QR Wait's tickets are one balance for all queues of an account.
Notifications
Some plans meter SMS or notifications. QR Wait notifies through Web Push at no extra cost, but sends no SMS.
When another app may fit better
- You need SMS or WhatsApp notifications: QR Wait notifies only through Web Push.
- You want a native app from an app store for staff or visitors.
- You want kiosks and displays supplied and installed by the vendor.
Questions
- Many queues are seasonal or run for events. Tickets that never expire mean you pay for the visitors you actually serve, not for the months in between.
- Each new entry in a queue uses one ticket, however many people are in the group: a QR join, a kiosk number or one the attendant adds.
- From each vendor's public pricing page, checked in October 2026. Only published prices are listed; vendors that quote on request are marked as not published.
