No tool can promise that, so flashtimer lets you measure it. Click-tracked links (Pro and up) count the readers who clicked through from the timer, and A/B tests (Business and up) put two timers against each other to see which sold more. The bar is low: on Basic, one extra order a month at your average order value usually covers the plan.

Upgrade to a paid plan by 26 November 2026, 23:59 UTC, and your first paid plan comes with the Black Friday Reserve: a month of its own views as bonus views, 1,000,000 on Pro for example. They're added to your top-up credit and never expire. The kit comes once per workspace, with its first paid plan, and isn't part of Enterprise, which is priced on a contract. It combines with code FLASH20. Bonus views have no cash value.

There isn't one in the small print. The kit comes with your first paid plan, once per workspace. The Reserve's views never expire and stay yours if you cancel; unused ones are only taken back if the payment is refunded or charged back, or if they were given by mistake or through fraud, as the terms set out. The deadline is real, and we don't move it: 26 November 2026, 23:59 UTC.

Yes. A flashtimer timer is an animated GIF, so it works in every email client that shows images, which is all of them. Outlook on Windows shows the first frame rather than the animation, and Apple Mail Privacy Protection can fetch images early; you choose what those readers see, from a live frame to a message or a fallback image.

Flash Render is how flashtimer draws every countdown: fresh each time an inbox asks for the image, never served from a cached copy. Most timer tools cache the image for a minute or more, so a reader can see a clock that's behind, or time left on a sale that ended a minute ago. With Flash Render the countdown is accurate to the second at every open, the image is sent no-store so inboxes are told not to keep an old one, and the moment the sale ends every open shows your ended message.

A timer is an ordinary image, like the product photos already in your email: no script, no attachment. On Pro and up you can serve timers from your own domain, so the timer images in your email carry your brand's address rather than ours.

There's little to move: a timer is one image link. Describe the sale and AI drafts the new timer, or design it in the editor, then swap the link in your template. Emails you've already sent keep pointing at the old tool, so keep it until those sales end. You gain Flash Render, a countdown drawn at every open rather than from a cache, analytics by device, client and country, click-tracked links and, on Pro and up, your own domain.

Any of them: a timer is one image URL you paste into a template. flashtimer also has ready-made integrations: email platforms such as Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Omnisend and ActiveCampaign, with embed snippets in each one's own shape; stores such as Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce, whose discounts become timers; and Zapier, Make and Slack.

Three ways. Describe the sale and flashtimer's AI drafts the timer in the editor for you to review: 5 a day on Basic, 10 on Pro, 30 on Business. Design it yourself in the editor, on every plan including Free. Or create it from code, through the REST API or from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and other MCP clients, on Pro and up.

A view is one load of a timer image, so roughly one per email open: a send to 20,000 readers that 40% open uses about 8,000. Each plan includes a monthly allowance, and paid plans can top up during a busy month. On every plan, once views pass the allowance plus any top-up credit by 4%, timers switch to a static image until the next period or a top-up, so there's no overage bill.

Yes, and yes. The free plan has three active fixed timers in every layout and 20,000 views a month, with a small flashtimer mark under each timer, and no card is asked for until you upgrade. Cancel a paid plan any time: you keep it to the end of the period you paid for, then drop to Free.

20% off for 3 months, on your first paid plan. Start free, no card, and upgrade when a timer is earning. The code can be redeemed until 31 December, 23:59 UTC. It combines with the Black Friday launch kit: upgrade by 26 November, 23:59 UTC and you get both.

The timer stops counting and shows the expiry message you wrote, or the fallback image you uploaded. Readers who open the email later never see a countdown to a deal that is over.

Yes. Every plan has the brand kit for colours and the system font library; paid plans add your own uploaded fonts, and Basic and up can drop the background so the timer sits on the email's own. Labels come in English, French, German, Spanish and more: set one, or leave the timer on auto and add your email platform's language merge tag, so each reader gets their own.
