Why switch from MailTimers to GifyLabs?
GifyLabs offers more widget types (6 vs 1), 50+ templates, and advanced features like team collaboration, white-label embedding, and webhook integrations — all at a lower price point. If you've outgrown MailTimers' basic countdown timer, GifyLabs gives you the flexibility to create flip clocks, circular timers, progress bars, and more.
More than just countdown timers
While MailTimers focuses on a single widget type, GifyLabs offers six distinct timer styles: classic countdown, flip clock, circular timer, progress bar, live stats, and calendar. Each style is fully customizable with colors, fonts, and layouts. This variety lets you match the timer to your campaign design and stand out in crowded inboxes.
Enterprise features included
GifyLabs includes enterprise features that MailTimers doesn't offer: team collaboration with role-based access control, white-label embedding for agencies, custom domains, Zapier/webhook integrations, and native ESP connections for Mailchimp, HubSpot, and SendGrid. These features are available on the Business plan — no need for a custom enterprise contract.
