Why switch

Why switch from Deadline Funnel to ClickTimer?

Stop paying $49-99/month

ClickTimer's pay-as-you-go model means you only pay for what you use. Get 10K free impressions monthly, then pay just €2.07 for 100K impressions - far less than Deadline Funnel's monthly subscription that resets whether you use it or not.

Test before you commit

Unlike Deadline Funnel's no-free-tier approach, ClickTimer gives you 10,000 free impressions every month with no watermark and no credit card required. Test unlimited timers, see real results, then decide if you need more.

Frequently asked questions

Is ClickTimer really free?

How does ClickTimer compare to Deadline Funnel?

ClickTimer focuses exclusively on countdown timers for emails without the complex funnel features. You get 10K free impressions monthly, pay-as-you-go pricing (no subscription), and credits that never expire. Perfect if you just need timers, not full funnel automation.

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 Deadline Funnel's evergreen and personalized deadline features?

ClickTimer focuses on countdown timers with fixed deadlines, perfect for launches, sales, and time-sensitive campaigns.
