MotionMail offers clean timers in a handful of fonts. InboxClock adds evergreen and recurring timers, live counters, your own fonts and images, and a website widget, free during the beta.

Choose InboxClock if

- You want live counters and the same timer on your website.

Switching from MotionMail
Nothing breaks when you switch. Timers are separate images, so emails you already sent keep their MotionMail timers.
Make the same timer in InboxClock. The simple templates fit most emails, and you can upload your brand font.
In your next campaign, replace the MotionMail image code with the InboxClock code from the Embed tab.
Send yourself a test. Keep your old timers running in emails you already sent; they are not affected.
Questions
Does InboxClock translate timers for each reader?
No. You choose the labels per timer, in one of 8 languages or your own words. Email apps fetch images through proxies, so the reader’s language is not reliable to detect anyway.
Can I edit a timer after sending, like in MotionMail?
Yes. Change anything, and every email shows the new version on its next open.
