Countdown timers built for email first
CountingDownTo is a popular countdown timer tool, but it was built primarily for websites, not email campaigns. If you're tired of watermarks on the free tier and paying monthly subscriptions for email-focused features, ClickTimer offers a better solution: email-first design, no watermark ever, and pay-as-you-go pricing with credits that never expire.

Why switch from CountingDownTo to ClickTimer?
No watermark on the free tier
ClickTimer gives you 10,000 free impressions every month with zero branding on your timers. Your emails stay professional without paying a cent for the first 10K impressions.
Built specifically for email
Unlike CountingDownTo which focuses on website timers, ClickTimer was designed from the ground up for email marketing. Every feature is optimized for email campaigns, deliverability, and ESP compatibility.
Advanced email customization
Access 900+ fonts and email-specific features like recipient timezone detection, dynamic expiration, and ESP-tested templates. CountingDownTo offers limited email customization as email is not their primary focus.

Frequently asked questions
Is ClickTimer really free?
Yes. 10,000 impressions free every month with no watermark. No credit card required.
How does ClickTimer compare to CountingDownTo?
ClickTimer is built specifically for email marketing, while CountingDownTo focuses primarily on website countdowns. ClickTimer offers no watermark even on the free tier, 30x more fonts (900+ vs 30+), and pay-as-you-go pricing instead of monthly subscriptions. Your credits never expire, so you only pay for what you actually use.
What happens when I exceed 10K impressions?
Buy credits at €0.23 per 10K (or less at higher volumes). Credits never expire - use them whenever you need.
Can I use my existing email templates?
Yes. ClickTimer works with any email platform that supports HTML images - Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, and 100+ others.
Will I lose my unused impressions each month?
No. Unlike CountingDownTo's monthly subscription that resets each billing cycle, ClickTimer uses pay-as-you-go credits that never expire. If you buy 100K impressions and only use 20K this month, the remaining 80K stays in your account forever. No pressure to use it or lose it.
