## Ways to pay less

- **Save 20% with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page labels yearly billing as a 20% saving; for example Start is $39 a month yearly against $49 monthly. Source: https://www.deadlinefunnel.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Per-lead deadlines:** Every lead gets a unique deadline, tracked across email, sales pages and checkout pages.
- **Countdown timers:** Timers can be placed in emails and on web pages, with an on-page pop-up widget and an announcement bar.
- **Ten-plus campaign types:** Includes evergreen, tripwire offer, product launch, holiday promo, flash sale, abandoned cart and automated webinar campaigns.
- **AI assistant:** An assistant takes a plain description of an offer, picks the campaign type, sets the deadline and drafts emails and page copy.

## Good for

- Course creators and digital-product sellers running launches or evergreen offers
- Email marketers who want a countdown that follows each subscriber
- Shopify store owners adding deadlines and discount automation

## Worth knowing

- Pricing follows leads per month, from 1,000 on Start to 50,000 on Scale.
- Start is limited to 3 campaigns; social proof, portals and branding removal begin on Create.
- There is no free plan; every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.
- It adds deadlines to your existing emails and pages; it is not a standalone popup builder.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Deadline Funnel gives each lead their own countdown for emails, sales pages and launches, from $39 a month on yearly billing. It adds deadlines to your existing emails and pages and is not a popup builder. Pricing follows leads per month, and social proof and branding removal start at $79.

- **Value for money: D.** $39 a month on yearly billing, $49 monthly, puts it in the dearer quarter ($24) of popup tools, and branding removal and social proof need Create at $79.
- **Free plan and trial: D.** A 14-day free trial on any plan, but the page does not say whether it needs a card. No free plan.
- **Features: C.** Per-lead deadlines, countdown timers, ten-plus campaign types, an AI assistant and integrations. It does that one job but it is a smaller job than a popup tool, and Start is limited to 3 campaigns.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You connect an email tool and build campaigns.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web app that connects with ActiveCampaign, AWeber, ConvertKit, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, ClickFunnels and Shopify. No phone or desktop app.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Deadline Funnel you could make: popups. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 50 of the 54 other popup and widget tools grade higher. It costs $468 a year.

- You could make: Popups: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, ActiveCampaign, AWeber and ConvertKit among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
