Countdown timers and personalized images come together on every plan, so there is no second
subscription to justify at budget time. Start free with 5,000 opens a month. Starter is $24 for
250,000, and annual billing gives you two months back.

Prices exclude tax. Tax is shown at checkout. If a plan does not do what this page says it does, tell us within 30 days of the charge and we refund
it. That is section 6 of the terms,
not a campaign.
How you pay
Every plan is priced in US dollars. Dodo Payments takes the payment and is the merchant of record, so it is
the seller on your receipt and your invoice.
What you can pay with
Credit and debit cards, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay where your browser offers them. You enter card
details on the Dodo Payments checkout page, and they never reach our servers. Annual Agency and Enterprise plans can pay by bank transfer instead. Write to support@emailtimer.app to arrange it.
Tax and invoices
Dodo Payments works out, collects and remits the sales tax, VAT or GST for your country. Your subscription,
payment method and invoices are in its customer portal, which the billing page in the app opens.
Go over your plan, and your subscribers never see a broken image.
Go over your plan in the middle of a send and nothing stops. Your images keep rendering. We email you at 80 percent of your monthly opens and again at 100 percent. Past 110 percent, new renders carry a small watermark until you move up a plan. A campaign in flight is never held hostage.
On the free plan too
The free plan is a real product, not a screenshot
Three live templates, 5,000 opens a month, two timer styles, and the email client preview that
tells you what will land. Enough to run a genuine campaign and see whether the numbers move
before you spend anything.
Paid plans add your own fonts, every timer style, unlimited templates, and the layers that appear
only for the right subscriber.
The templates screen on the free plan. Three of these rows can be live at a time, and every
one of them publishes to a single image address.
Digital and underline are on the free plan. Every style below is on Starter and up.
Digital
Plain numerals and nothing around them, the safe pick for a flash sale. Shown in navy on white between two orange rules.
Underline
One rule under each number, for editorial and premium sends. Shown as an early access window in navy on pale grey-blue.
Flip
The split card people already read as a deadline. Shown as a Black Friday banner, navy on pale slate.
Ring
A closing arc around each number, made for the run up to a launch. Shown in blue on pale blue.
Blocks
Every unit on its own plate, so it holds up next to a busy product photo. Shown as a Christmas delivery cut-off in navy and pale blue.
Bar
Numbers over a draining bar, so the urgency lands before the reading does. Shown holding a cart, in navy on white under an orange band.
Comparing vendors
What other email countdown timer tools charge
Taken from each vendor's own published pricing page, on the dates under the table. If you are building a
comparison for a client or a CMO, take this table and check it yourself. We would rather you did.
Three of these vendors are cheaper per thousand views than we are at their entry tier, and the table
says so rather than hiding it.

Questions
Billing, in full
How do you count monthly opens?
One open is one request for your image. A subscriber opens the email, their mail app fetches the countdown or the personalized graphic, and that is one. If Apple Mail or Gmail then serves the same image again from its own cache, that is their server doing the work and you are not charged for it a second time.
What happens if a campaign goes over my monthly limit?
Nothing stops. Your images keep rendering for the whole send. We email you at 80 percent of your monthly opens and again at 100 percent, and past 110 percent new renders carry a small watermark until you move up a plan. A send already in flight is never held hostage over a billing threshold.
Do timers from the free generator count toward a plan?
No. A timer from the free generator works for 500 opens without an account, and for 1,000 once you sign in and claim it. After that, the image shows a note that its free opens are used up. A timer you build in an account, on any plan, counts toward that plan's monthly opens instead.
How does annual billing work?
You pay for ten months and get twelve. Starter is $240 for the year instead of $288. You can switch to annual at any point and the change is prorated against what you have already paid.
Which currency am I charged in, and who handles tax?
Every plan is priced and charged in US dollars. Payment goes through Dodo Payments, which is the merchant of record: it is the seller on your receipt and your invoice, and it works out, collects and remits the sales tax, VAT or GST for your country. The tax is shown at checkout, before you pay.
What happens to my subscription if I move countries?
It carries on, in US dollars. Your templates, your published image URLs, and every campaign already sitting in an inbox are untouched. If you need to change the card it charges, do that in the customer portal, which the billing page in the app opens.
How do client workspaces work on Agency?
An owner of the account can create a separate workspace for each client, up to 200 in one account. They all share the plan's 5,000,000 monthly opens and its 5 white-label domains, as one allowance for the account rather than one each. If you move from Agency to a lower plan, your client workspaces stay and every image already sent from them keeps rendering, but you cannot create new ones until you are back on Agency.
Can I change or cancel my plan?
Yes, from the billing page in the app, without emailing anybody. Upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the billing cycle you have already paid for. The same page opens the Dodo Payments customer portal, where you update your payment method, download invoices or cancel.
Is there an extra charge for using our brand fonts?
No. Uploading your own .woff2 or .ttf files is included on every paid plan from $24 a month. Some vendors in this category put custom fonts behind a higher tier, which is worth checking when you compare.
What can we pay with?
Credit and debit cards, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay where your browser offers them. You pay on the Dodo Payments checkout page, so your card details never reach our servers. Tax is shown at checkout. Annual Agency and Enterprise plans can pay by bank transfer instead. Write to support@emailtimer.app to arrange it.
Is there a plan above Agency?
Yes, Enterprise, for more than 5,000,000 opens a month. Its price is agreed for your volume rather than published, and it can be paid by bank transfer. Write to support@emailtimer.app with the opens you expect and we reply within one business day.
Start on the free plan and see if it moves anything
5,000 opens a month, no card, and you can put a timer in the campaign you are already writing.
An open is counted when a mail app fetches the image. Which fetches count and which do not, and
when a period starts, is written out in
how opens are counted, and
how the render pipeline works
follows that request from the snippet to the picture. Why Apple Mail and Gmail sometimes show a copy
they already hold, which is why a cached view is not counted again, is written up on
the blog.
