Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 1 of the 54 other popup and widget tools we grade

The report card
Best for countdown deadlines for emails and sales pages
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Deadline Funnel is for
- Fits if you sell through email launches and want each person's deadline to be real
- Makes sense if you already use one of the email tools it lists
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you are small: $39 a month for 3 campaigns and 1,000 leads
- Not for you if you want a popup builder, since it adds deadlines to what you already have
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is only a trial
- Watch out: pricing follows leads, from 1,000 on Start to 50,000 on Scale
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Popups: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, ActiveCampaign, AWeber and ConvertKit among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Deadline Funnel’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
