Questions about FirstUsers.club
How the cohorts and the Monday draw work, where your signups come from, what it costs, and what you get after your launch.
How it works
Is this a lottery?
No. Every entrant wins once in their cohort — the Monday draw only decides which week your signups land. Want a specific week? You can book one at checkout.
When does my cohort start?
A new cohort starts on the first Monday after 30 builders are waiting. Your start date shows on My week as soon as it’s set. Each cohort runs 5 weeks, and you sign up for 5 products a week while it runs.
Can I pick my launch week?
Yes — you can book a launch week at checkout. Spots are limited each week, and Spotlight includes a booking.
What does my product need?
A free signup option that doesn’t require a credit card. That’s it — any website or app works.
Signups and feedback
Are these real users?
Yes. Every signup is a real member of the community creating an account through your tracked link, matched to the email or phone they used. They’re fellow builders, which makes them great for early momentum, testing and honest feedback.
Do I have to confirm every signup myself?
Not if you built with AI. Paste one prompt into Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or whatever you use, and your site reports signups to us — each one is verified the moment it happens and marked “auto-verified” on your results page. Prefer to check by hand? Each signup shows the email or phone used, and anything you don’t dispute within 72 hours is approved automatically.
What if someone doesn’t do their signups?
You still get your 25. Missed signups are re-posted on the bonus board for other members to fill, and anyone who misses signups in two weeks of a cohort loses their entry.
Builders aren’t my target audience. Is this still useful?
Yes, for what matters most early on: 25+ real people going through your signup and telling you what’s broken, confusing or compelling, before you spend on ads. Members choose categories they’re interested in and are matched to those products first, so some become real users too.
What if my launch doesn’t reach its goal during the cohort?
Missed signups are re-posted for other members, and when the cohort ends any open spots stay on the bonus board for 4 more weeks. Late signups still count toward your results.
Apps and extensions
Does it work for iPhone apps, Android apps and Chrome extensions?
Yes. Paste your App Store, Google Play or Chrome Web Store link and we detect it. In the Monday draw, apps and extensions only go to members who said they can test on that device, and nobody gets more than 2 a week.
Pricing and payment
How much does FirstUsers.club cost?
Basic is $10 for 25 verified signups in your launch week, Boost is $29 for 50, and Spotlight is $79 for 100. Every signup answers the question you choose. You can also start free and earn an entry.
What do I give in return?
During your 5-week cohort you sign up for 5 other members’ products each week through tracked links and answer their question. It takes a few minutes a day. That is what makes every launch work: each cohort is 30 builders who all owe signups, so your 25 come from the cohort itself.
Can I get in for free?
Yes. Create a free account and sign up for house picks and other builders’ launches on the bonus board. Each task earns credits toward a free Basic entry, and 3 builders you refer also earn one.
Can I choose my launch week?
Yes. Booking a week is an add-on at checkout ($30 for week 1, $20 for week 2, $12 for later weeks) and is included with Spotlight. Otherwise the Monday draw picks your week, and everyone gets one.
Why are Boost and Spotlight sometimes “opening soon”?
Their extra signups come from members doing optional bonus tasks, so we only sell them when enough members are active to deliver every signup. You can enter with Basic and reserve an upgrade; we email you when it opens, before your launch.
Is it a one-time payment or a subscription?
Your choice. One launch is a single payment. “Every cycle” renews your entry for each new cohort so you keep launching and growing your user base; you can stop any time from your account.
What will my billing statement say?
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Charges appear on your card statement as WONDERWORX* FIRSTUSERS, from WonderWorks Group, LLC, the company that runs FirstUsers.club. Your emailed receipt shows the same name.
After your launch
What do I get after my launch week?
A public launch page with your signup count and every answer, a brag card to share, and a live badge for your site that shows your real-user count. Launches with 10+ verified signups and 5+ written answers are listed in the launch directory and can appear in search.
Can I keep my launch page out of Google?
Yes. In Account → Websites, untick “Show the launch page in Google and AI search”.
