> if I could keep this up and convert 10-20% of waitlist users

$5000/mo for 10% of the list. Unless he factored in the list growing further.

The website has pricing and it does say $500/mo for the pro version. So maybe 100 was a typo and he had 1000 on the waitlist.

As far as I know, typical conversion from a waitlist is below 2% and that's after you're fairly sure you're dealing with people and not bots. Neither 100 nor 1000 emails is even remotely enough, both amount to nothing.
Most of what I read actually referenced 20% as an average for paid waitlists if there’s a fast enough turnaround behind a release. Here’s one example:

Obviously not without proper diligence!
