AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Countdown Block is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Block category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 4 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Countdown Block works
Show full descriptionShow less
Create a fear of missing out a special offer or draw attention to your upcoming events or create a feeling of urgency using the Countdown Block for Gutenberg editor. You can also build a coming soon page to let your visitors know how much time is left to launch.

Ultra light-weight
Easy to configure
Evergreen Countdown Timer Evergreen timer means all visitors get the same time frame, regardless of when they enter the page. It means if,
– User A visits the page today, he sees a countdown of 2 hours.
– User B visits two weeks later, she still sees a countdown of 2 hours.
A cookie is set in the visitor’s browser once he lands on the page with the countdown. If the visitor lands on the page next time, the timer will continue from the same time the visitor first landed on the page.
This is the best way to create or increase urgency when promoting sales, events, or other time-limited offers or discounts.
Fixed Countdown Timer Fixed timer is designed to promote offers or an event on a specific day. You can use the fixed timer to draw attention of your audience to your upcoming events. Or build a coming soon page with fixed timer to let your visitors know when the time left to launch the site or product. Or use it for your Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, or New Year offers.
Actions When Countdown Ends You can simply set a custom action to run once the timer reaches zero.
