Free plan
Free email countdown timer, no watermark
Design a live countdown, paste one image URL into your email platform, and every subscriber sees the time left when they open it. No badge on your timer, no credit card, no limit on timers.
What’s free here, and often isn’t elsewhere
| Feature | tikio free plan | Elsewhere |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark | None, at any volume | Common on free tiers — the vendor’s badge sits on your timer |
| Your own brand font | Upload TTF, OTF, WOFF or WOFF2, plus 40 Google fonts | Usually a paid-plan feature |
| Personal evergreen and recurring timers | Included | Timers built into email platforms count to one fixed date only |
| Change the deadline after sending | Included — sent emails follow within minutes | Not offered by timers built into email platforms |
Timers built into email platforms are covered in built-in ESP timers vs tikio; named products in comparisons.
Everything in the free plan
Right now the free plan includes every feature. The timer is a regular animated image, so it works in Gmail, Apple Mail and Outlook (older Outlook for Windows shows the first frame) and in every platform that accepts an image URL.

FAQ
Free timers, answered
Is the free email countdown timer really free?
Yes. Sign up with an email address, design a timer and paste the code into any email platform — no credit card. Right now the free plan includes every feature, with no limit on the number of timers.
Is there a watermark on free timers?
No. tikio does not put its name or a badge on your timer. The GIF on this page is a real, unedited tikio timer.
Which email platforms does it work with?
Any platform that lets you add an image by URL: Mailchimp, Klaviyo, HubSpot, Brevo, ActiveCampaign and 30+ others. Personal evergreen timers need a subscriber ID merge tag, which every major platform has.
My email platform already has a free timer. Why use tikio?
If you only need one fixed date for the whole list, the built-in block is fine. tikio is for everything else: a personal deadline for each subscriber, a daily cut-off by local time, counting up, and changing the deadline after the email is sent.
Will the free plan change?
Paid plans arrive with the public launch, and there will be a free tier to try things out. Timers you already sent keep running, and we email every user at least 30 days before any pricing change.
Your first free timer takes two minutes
No credit card, no watermark. Design it once and paste the code into any email platform.
