Dimensions summary
You choose from three plans billed under a contract: Plus, Professional, and Enterprise. Each plan is a flat, tiered subscription measured in units, so you pick one tier rather than combining separate options. The tiers differ mainly by capacity, such as how many customers can wait at once and the rate users enter your site. Higher tiers add more waiting rooms, domains, and support commitments. Sessions are not metered, so your billing stays fixed for the tier you select. See the pricing table for the price of each plan.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each plan uses flat, tiered pricing with no session metering, so running more sessions does not change your bill. If you need more concurrent waiting capacity or a faster entry rate, you move to a plan with a larger capacity tier. Session volume itself carries no extra charge.
Capacity and scope drive the difference. Higher tiers raise the number of customers who can wait at once and the rate users enter your site. They also add more independent waiting rooms, more protected domains, more team seats, and stronger support commitments like uptime and response-time targets.
These are included in your plan, not billed separately. CAPTCHAs, device fingerprinting, threat blocking, custom branded templates, email notifications, and API access come with the flat plan fee. There are no per-session meters or add-on charges layered on top of the tier you select.

Easy WordPress Integration, Great Performance Under High Traffic
Reviewed on Apr 17, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The website was easy to use and implement with our project, it had all the tools we needed at the right price. We were easily able to integrate into our website with Wordpress, and having the tool enabled our website to maintain great performance during high traffic moments. The team at CrowdHandler was excellent and supported our needs throughout the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
After signing up for the free trial, we decided to pick a plan, but then lost all free trial features that wasn't disclosed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our website is running a conference and every year there is a registration opening day, hundreds of users come to the website at the same time, 12pm and login to order registrations and add-ons. Performance degrades significantly, and the server needs a restart. One hosting company wanted 12K dollars to provide 100% uptime for the event, so we found this service which puts users in a waiting room and it worked flawless, for way less cost.
