A Sendtric alternative for your email countdown timers

The Kauntodaun team wrote this page, so we'd like you to pick us. That's why every Sendtric figure comes from its own pricing page, read on October 1, 2026, and there's a whole section on what Sendtric does better than we do.

Sendtric and Kauntodaun side by side

Checked October 1, 2026. Monthly billing, before tax: Sendtric says taxes may apply depending on your location, and Kauntodaun's prices exclude applicable taxes.

Watch the unit: Sendtric counts views across the whole account, while Kauntodaun, without an account, counts per timer.

Where Sendtric beats Kauntodaun

• It does more than countdowns. The same dashboard has one-click polls, weather forecasts, and personalized or rule-based images. We only make timers.
• API and integrations. Its API plan costs $149 a month for 3 million views and includes a Beefree plugin and white labeling. According to its site, more than 100 email service providers have it built in, and it publishes setup guides for Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Braze, Iterable and Bloomreach. We have no public API.
• Apple Mail. From Micro you can hide the timer from Apple Mail readers, and on Power you can swap it for a fallback GIF made in its editor. We have nothing for that.
• Deadlines from the send. On Power ($69), the timer can count from when the email goes out or from event data, such as an abandoned cart. That way Apple's preloading doesn't move the start. Kauntodaun only locks the start at the first open.
• Formats. From Standard it offers count-up and vertical timers, which we don't make.
• Track record. Its site says more than 200,000 companies use it, and it comes in 16 languages. Our generator has been running since March 2026.

Where Kauntodaun fits better

• Copy the code with no signup. We don't ask for an account or an email address. Sendtric asks for an email address and a confirmation.
• A free limit per timer. A campaign opened 20,000 times in a month goes past Sendtric's free limit and shows its watermark. In Kauntodaun that timer stays unbranded, because it doesn't reach 25,000.
• The basics, for free. Transparent backgrounds, an expired message and labels in your language are on our free plan. On Sendtric they start at Micro or Standard.
• Cheaper per-recipient evergreen. Sendtric includes it on Micro, at $9 for 150,000 views. Our Starter costs $7 for 200,000 impressions.
• Editing after sending. With a free account you can change the timer after the email has gone out.

How to move from Sendtric to Kauntodaun

1. Make a list. Note the scheduled campaigns and flows that use a Sendtric timer. Emails that already went out can't be changed.

2. Recreate the timer. For a fixed date, use the same date and time zone. For a "Start on open" or "unique user" timer, create an evergreen timer with the same duration. Copy the design and the expired message too.

3. Copy the code. The HTML tab is for an HTML block; the URL tab, for an image block.

4. Swap the image. In each email, find the <img> tag whose src points to Sendtric and put in the Kauntodaun URL, or replace the whole block with our HTML. In a flow, repeat it for every email.

5. Add your ESP's merge tag if you want a deadline per person (Starter plan):

   • Klaviyo: ?rid={{ person.KlaviyoID }}
   • Mailchimp: ?rid=*|UNIQID|*
   • HubSpot: ?rid={{ contact.hs_object_id }} (its docs don't say whether it's replaced inside the HTML module; test it)
   • Brevo: ?rid={{ contact.EMAIL }}
   • Mailjet: ?rid={{mj:contact.ID}}
   • ActiveCampaign: ?rid=%SUBSCRIBERID%

   Other platforms are on the evergreen countdown timer page.

6. Test before sending. In your ESP's preview the merge tag usually arrives unreplaced; the engine ignores it and you'll see the full duration. Send yourself a test email, open it, wait a few minutes and open it again. With a per-person deadline, the second open should show less time.

7. Don't close Sendtric yet. Emails already sent keep loading the GIF from Sendtric. Keep the account until those timers expire. On its free plan, if those emails go over 10,000 views in a month, its watermark appears.

Step-by-step instructions for each platform are in our Klaviyo, Mailchimp and HubSpot guides.

How we checked

We read Sendtric's pricing page, API page and integrations page on October 1, 2026. We didn't create a Sendtric account or test its timers from the inside: each row reflects what Sendtric publishes. Kauntodaun's figures come from our plan and engine documentation.

We review this page every three months. To see Sendtric next to six other tools, read our comparison of free email countdown timers.
