THE CATEGORY

What Stagetimer is for.

A focused tool for stage timers, speaker countdowns and messages to the person on stage.

STRENGTHS

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.

SCOPE

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.

EVENTBLOK

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.

SIDE BY SIDE

The same nine questions.

Different tools solve different problems. If all you need is a standalone rundown or a simple teleprompter, another tool may well be cheaper. EventBlok earns its value when planning, publishing and production have to stay connected.
