Best for countdown timers for WordPress
HurryTimer is a WordPress plugin for countdown timers, with a free edition and paid plans from $39 a year for one site. It does that one job. Recurring campaigns are Pro, it only runs on WordPress, and email countdowns are listed as coming.
Who HurryTimer is for
- Fits if you run WordPress or WooCommerce and want a countdown timer
- Works for a sale that repeats on a schedule, once you pay for Pro
Who HurryTimer is not for
- Skip it if your site is not on WordPress
- Not for you if you want recurring campaigns for free: they are Pro
- Watch out: after an annual plan ends the plugin keeps working but gets no updates or support
- Watch out: countdown timers for email are listed as coming, not available
Why HurryTimer gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$39 a year for one site is about $3.25 a month, under 60% of the cheapest quarter for popup tools, and there is a free edition.
- BFree plan and trialThe free WordPress.org edition has evergreen and fixed-date timers, enough for a small site. Recurring timers need Pro.
- CFeaturesIt does timers fully: evergreen, fixed-deadline and recurring campaigns, expiry actions and a WooCommerce bar. It is a smaller job than a popup tool, and email timers are listed as not available yet.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You install a plugin and set up each campaign.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWordPress only, with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery and Gutenberg named.

Keep HurryTimer, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace HurryTimer you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 45 of the 54 other popup and widget tools we grade. It costs $39 a year.
What you could make
- Popups: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- It plugs into other products, WooCommerce, Elementor and Divi among them.
What this rests on. HurryTimer’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.
What is HurryTimer?
HurryTimer is a WordPress plugin that adds urgency and scarcity countdown timers to pages and WooCommerce product pages. Evergreen timers give each visitor their own countdown, while fixed-date timers share one deadline. A free edition is on WordPress.org and Pro is sold per year or as a lifetime license.
Worth knowing
- It runs only inside WordPress; there is no standalone web app.
- Recurring campaigns are a Pro feature, not in the free edition.
- After an annual subscription ends the plugin keeps working but gets no updates or support.
- Countdown timers for email are listed as coming, not available yet.
Key features
- Evergreen timers
- Each visitor gets their own countdown that starts when they arrive, and the timer can restart automatically when it ends.
- Fixed-deadline campaigns
- A shared timer runs between two fixed dates for events and sales with a firm end.
- Recurring campaigns
- Pro timers repeat on a set of rules, such as daily deals or shipping cut-off times.
- Expiry actions
- When time is up the plugin can redirect, hide the timer, show a message, expire a coupon or hide the add-to-cart button.
- WooCommerce and announcement bar
- Shows a timer on product pages and in a sticky bar at the top or bottom of the page; WooCommerce is optional.
