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.
CHOOSING

Which to choose.

Stagetimer

  • Pick Stagetimer if you need a dependable countdown on stage and nothing more.

EventBlok

  • Pick EventBlok if the countdown should come from the running order the rest of the show is following.
