Built this side project to increase signups: Referlist.co - Increase sign-ups via gamified referrals

Referlist is a simple way to increase sign-ups on your landing page for pre-product launches. Give your users early access to your product when they share it with their friends!

Here's the URL: http://referlist.co

I've worked on multiple projects this past year. To test an idea, I'll put out a landing page with a sign-up form to see how excited people are about a concept. I wanted to encourage word of mouth growth and incentivize my users to share the site with their friends. I remembered that Robinhood was able to amass nearly one million sign-ups via their referral program, so I tried googling for an easy way to add something similar to my page. Everything I found came pre-packaged with a landing page (I already had one) and was expensive. I ended up building my own custom solution for my project and it worked great!

I noticed other friends launching projects doing the same, so I decided to build Referlist to save everyone some time. It's a plug-and-play referral system that works with any sign-up form. No coding required and takes 5 minutes to setup. It's also free to try. You only pay if you get more than 100 sign-ups so you can feel free to launch as many failed experiments as your heart desires at no cost.

Other features include the ability to add a custom message to your waitlist page, use custom colors and seed your waitlist so that it doesn't look completely empty for the first few sign-ups. You can also export your users to CSV or Mailchimp.

Any feedback is welcome! Hope you find it helpful with your own side projects!

    Sleek product and easy to use. Very good pricing tier.

    Good for people looking at alternatives of Viral Loops / ReferralCandy. Any plan for a PH campaign? @memn0nis

    This is nice. Generous free plan and decent pricing.

    Hey mate, just curious about the pricing. With $20, you said: "View and export up to 5000 signups"

    Does the sign ups include both the referrer and referee?

    1. 1

      Yes, the signups are the total people you have in the list!

      1. 2

        Hm then $20 is pretty reasonable (actually more competitive I would say than other services - awesome)

        You should launch this on PH! Many indie Saas(es) will love this!
