Pricing entry tiers: Countdown Catalyst at Free plan available, KILATECH Countdown Timer at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
