What Stagetimer is for.
A focused tool for stage timers, speaker countdowns and messages to the person on stage.
Where Stagetimer is strong.
Does one job extremely well and sets up in minutes.
Reliable countdowns and messaging to stage.
Cheap, focused and easy to hand to a volunteer.
Works fine alongside anything else.
Where its scope ends.
Not criticism — scope. These are the things it was not built to do, which matter only if you need them.
It is a timer, not a programme, and does not pretend otherwise.
No agenda, speakers, locations or attendee surface.
Cue-level running order and departments are out of scope.
What EventBlok does differently.
Timing in EventBlok comes from the programme, so countdowns follow the running order.
The prompter, showflow and speaker views share the same timing.
It covers the whole event rather than the clock on stage.
The same nine questions.

Which to choose.
Stagetimer
- Pick Stagetimer if you need a dependable countdown on stage and nothing more.

If EventBlok is the right fit, the launch benefit is the fastest way to find out. If it is not, we would rather you bought the right thing.
