Stagetimer is an accessible choice for the specific job of keeping speakers informed about time and sending them a quiet prompt. The pricing decision turns on displays, timer counts and whether the team needs web access throughout the year. For a venue with unreliable internet, evaluate the desktop edition and its local setup during the same rehearsal as the presenter screens.
Pro is US$210/year and Premium US$420/year. The official FAQ says there is no monthly subscription. A 30-day one-event licence is a separate purchase; its current price was not verified here.
Pro lists 50 timers per room and 5 live connections; Premium lists unlimited timers and 50 connections. Confirm how connections are counted across rooms, and include confidence monitors, operator devices and simultaneous viewers.
The US$980 one-time desktop licence excludes the web service and includes three years of updates. Annual Pro and Premium plans include desktop access while subscribed; confirm the licence arrangement for each production computer.
Anna Burlot’s November 2024 Uneed test covered browser timers, messages and questions, and explicitly did not test every feature or a professional broadcast. Treat it as a usability account, then test your own room network and devices.

Place a presenter screen at the actual speaking position. Test the normal countdown, overtime colour, an urgent message and the next speaker’s timer. The operator should practise those actions without asking the presenter to touch the display.
