Queue-Fair Description

A virtual waiting room is a page that keeps visitors away from busy websites and then feeds them back to the protected site at a pace it can handle, while maintaining responsiveness and performance.

Websites can handle sudden or unexpected peaks in traffic without a website crash. It also means that websites don't have to waste energy on additional servers when they are not busy. This makes it green tech, if implemented correctly.

Fair virtual waiting rooms return visitors in first-come first-served fashion. A good virtual waiting area should keep visitors informed about their progress and the remaining wait time.

A crashed website is the worst thing for your business. High-demand sales not only damage your servers but also damage your reputation. Smooth branding can help you protect your customers' goodwill.

Our original patented virtual waiting room technology allows you to show your customers that fairness is important while providing a fully branded customer journey.

    Really pleased with first venture onto this platform

    Date: Oct 24 2025

    Summary: I wish we'd made the move over to Queue-Fair much earlier than we did. Our company has used outsourced queue systems for many years but only require them on an ad hoc, time to time, basis. Queue-Fair offer a flexible and sensible pricing model that really met these needs and getting our first queue event going was made that much easier with their attentive support structure.

    Positive: It handled our volumes really well
    It was easy enough to get it all set up
    The pricing was really fair in comparison to some in the market and much more sensible than our previous providers
    Support and hand holding was excellent

    Negative: None that we know of at this time - we moved over to Queue-Fair due to escalating costs from our previous provider and can report no downsides with that decision

    Saved the day for us

    Date: Jul 17 2025

    Summary: We have an event ticketing website which works great, but we have a couple of "scarcity events" where demand for tickets at the time they go on sale is tremendous. Our server wasn't keeping up. By using Queue-Fair we were able to keep the load on our server to a level that we could handle and the on-sale events have gone much smoother than they would have otherwise. Queue-fair have been great to answer questions and help us whenever we ran into roadblocks.

    Positive: Easy to install and use, gives us lots of information about current and historical demand. Good quality support. It just works.

    Negative: Some of our end users don't like the experience of being placed in a queue or waiting room, , but that's not really the products fault.

    Great system, affordably priced

    Date: Jun 30 2025

    Summary: Queue-Fair is a vital part of our digital infrastructure, allowing us to maintain a smaller server spend and protecting uptime during critical launch events. We’ve come to view it as an operational safety net, and a customer experience asset that drives higher FOMO. Highly recommended to any organisation struggling with servers and rapid queue deployment for peak loads.

    Positive: We’ve relied on Queue-Fair for over three years on our website, handling all email-driver website user spikes and helping us manage server overload on a regular basis, and it has never let us down. From day one, the system handled our unpredictable demand spikes effortlessly. The support team is also highly intelligent, friendly and solution focused. I have greatly appreciated Matt's support in helping us make the most of the platform, and helping us to make our billing plan the most cost-efficient it can be for our business use case.

    Negative: The dashboard and advanced configuration options sometimes load slowly for large datasets, but still functional.

    An effective solution and exemplary support

    Edited: Jun 04 2025

    Summary: Queue-Fair enabled us to efficiently manage a massive influx of visitors during the launch of a highly anticipated eBook. Without a queueing solution, there would have been a risk of site overload or even crashes, which could have harmed the user experience and potentially resulted in lost sales.

    An effective solution, high-quality support, and a responsive customer service team — we recommend them without hesitation!

    Positive: We are very satisfied with Queue-Fair! Their queueing system met our needs perfectly during the release of an eBook by an influencer. A big thank you to Matt, who was incredible throughout the entire process. He took the time to communicate with us in French, providing clear and precise explanations.

    The setup was particularly simple thanks to their well-written documentation, and the Queue-Fair team even took care of the layout for us. A real time-saver! The real-time statistics are a great bonus, as is the ability to adjust certain settings on the fly.

    Negative: We didn’t encounter any issues while using the module.
