Looking for a Sendtric alternative?
Sendtric is a good tool for countdown timers in email. Fiig does the same, but it's made for the Netherlands and Belgium: in Dutch and English, with prices in euros including VAT, and with widgets for shops such as an order cutoff and opening hours.
The short answer
Choose Fiig if
- you send in the Netherlands or Belgium, or want to work in Dutch
- you want to show an order cutoff, opening hours or stock live
- you want a text after the deadline and statistics without paying
- you pay with iDEAL | Wero and need an invoice with VAT
Choose Sendtric if
- you need a weather forecast or personalised images
- your countdown has to start the moment someone opens the email
- you want to choose from hundreds of fonts
- you send internationally and English is all you need

Questions
Does Fiig work in Outlook?
Yes. Outlook for Windows only shows the first frame. With Fiig that's always a complete, readable timer.
What happens above my free opens?
Your widgets keep working, without a watermark. Fiig never blocks opens; you get an email when you get close, so you can decide whether to upgrade.
Can I try Fiig without an account?
Yes, you can make a countdown without an account at fiig.io/aftelklok. Without an account it has a small fiig.io in the corner; with a free account it doesn't.
