Comparison
tikio vs Tickvio
A note before the table: Tickvio and tikio are different, unrelated products with confusingly similar names. Tickvio is the closest competitor by philosophy — analytics, many languages, email and web parity — so this is the comparison worth reading carefully rather than skimming.
| Feature | tikio | Tickvio |
|---|---|---|
| Price today | Free during early access (no credit card) | Free plan with 20K views and 3 timers; paid from $9/mo for 150K views and 25 timers |
| Watermark on free plan | None during early access | First 1,000 views watermark-free, then a badge |
| Number of timers on the free plan | Unlimited | Three |
| Timer types | Fixed date, personal evergreen, recurring and count-up — all on the free plan | Fixed, evergreen, recurring and dynamic; evergreen and recurring on paid plans |
| Languages | 12 label languages in one published timer, switched by the lang= parameter | A larger language list, selected per timer |
| Custom font upload | Upload your own fonts or use Google Fonts, at no extra cost | From the Growth plan ($29/mo) |
| Recurring (local time, DST) | Daily, weekday or weekly reset at a local time, following daylight saving | Recurring timers on paid plans |
| Count-up | Yes, set up through the REST API | Not listed on its site |
| Edit after sending | Yes — change the deadline any time; emails already sent pick it up within minutes | Not listed on its site |
| At-zero action and smart link | Show zeros, hide the timer or swap in an image; a smart link sends clicks elsewhere after zero — also in sent emails | Not listed on its site |
| Same timer on your website | The same link embeds on your site as an iframe, in sync with the email | Yes — web timers on every plan |
| REST API / MCP | REST API and an MCP server for AI assistants | Not listed on its site |
| Analytics | Views and clicks per link, by day and by country | Analytics are a core selling point |
The honest verdict
These two are close, and Tickvio is ahead on raw language count and analytics focus. tikio’s advantages are the ones that show up in day-to-day work: unlimited timers rather than three, every timer type and your own fonts without a paid plan, no watermark at any view count during early access, and deadlines you can still fix after the email has gone out.
