We added Tickvio to our flash sale emails and the difference was immediate. Our open-to-click rate jumped from 2.8% to 4.0% in the first campaign. The evergreen timer feature is genius — every subscriber sees a personalised countdown from the moment they open.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Tickvio — from setup to security, for email and web.

What is Tickvio?

Tickvio is an animated countdown timer platform for email and web. It helps agencies, SaaS companies, creators, publishers, e-commerce brands, and anyone who needs urgency to boost conversions. You design a timer once, and Tickvio renders a live, animated GIF countdown fresh on every email open — and the same URL works on any website or landing page too.

Is Tickvio free to use?

Yes. Tickvio offers a free plan that includes up to 20,000 timer views per month — enough to test urgency across your campaigns. Web timers are included on every plan, including free. Paid plans start at $7/mo. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges.

Do I need coding skills?

Not at all. Tickvio's visual editor lets you design and customise countdown timers without writing a single line of code. Pick a style, set your deadline, customise colors and fonts, and copy the image URL straight into your email template. Done in under 2 minutes.

Which email platforms does Tickvio work with?

Tickvio works with any email platform that supports HTML images — which is virtually all of them. This includes Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, Omnisend, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Brevo, Drip, and 50+ more. Just paste the timer image URL into your template and each subscriber sees a live countdown when they open.

What types of countdown timers can I create?

Tickvio offers three timer types. Fixed Date timers count down to a specific deadline — perfect for flash sales, product launches, and events. Evergreen timers start individually for each subscriber from the moment they open the email, ideal for welcome flows and trial expirations. Dynamic timers use ESP merge tags or URL parameters for fully personalised deadlines driven by your data.

Can I use timers on my website too?

Yes. Every Tickvio timer works on any website or landing page — just embed the same image URL. Use the same timer across email and web for a consistent urgency experience across channels.

How customisable are the timers?

Fully customisable. You can change colours, fonts (including custom font uploads), sizes, backgrounds, separators, spacing, labels, and borders. Tickvio also supports multi-language labels, custom expiration messages and images for when timers reach zero, and smart redirect links that route to different URLs based on timer status.

How fast do timers render?

Timers render in under 50ms at the edge. Tickvio serves all timers through a global CDN with automatic optimisation, so your emails load quickly across every device and client — including Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, and Yahoo Mail.

What happens when a timer expires?

You have full control. Set a custom expiration message or image that displays once the timer hits zero. You can also configure smart redirect links that automatically route subscribers to a different URL after the deadline — for example, from a sale page to a "sale ended" page.

Is my subscriber data safe?

Absolutely. Tickvio doesn't store subscriber data. Timers are rendered on-the-fly and we never see, collect, or retain personal information. Your subscriber data stays exactly where it belongs: in your ESP.
