Heartly vs Timex Low Stock Urgency Timer

Timex is free and focused on stock urgency where the shopper already is. Heartly puts the same live stock figure on a sale page of its own, and covers WooCommerce and German pricing law.

01 · About Timex Low Stock Urgency Timer

What is Timex Low Stock Urgency Timer?

Timex Low Stock Urgency Timer, from Care Cart, shows remaining inventory and cart countdowns on Shopify product and cart pages, with recurring, scheduled, date-range and fixed-minute options. It rated 4.8 across 231 reviews in August 2026 and is free.

Both products show a shopper that stock is running out. Timex shows it on the product page a shopper has already reached. Heartly shows it on a page built for one sale, which is the page a merchant links to when announcing the sale somewhere else. The stock figure is the same idea; the surface it sits on is the difference.

Same signal, different surface

Low stock is one of the few urgency devices that is simply true — it reports a real number rather than manufacturing pressure. Timex reports it on the product page. Heartly reports it on the sale page, where the shopper arrived from a link the merchant shared. Neither is more honest; they serve different moments in the same journey.

What a sale page adds

One offer, no navigation competing for the click, a countdown, the live stock figure, and checkout on the same screen. That page has a URL, so it can be the target of a story, a broadcast, or a printed code, and it can be listed on the public Heartly marketplace where shoppers browse live deals. A widget on a product page cannot do those things.

German price-indication law

§ 11 PAngV requires an advertised discount to display the lowest price of the previous 30 days. Heartly computes it from stored price history and shows it on the sale page. A stock-urgency app does not set the price and cannot compute that reference, so merchants selling into Germany handle it separately.

06 · Pricing

Pricing.

Timex Low Stock Urgency Timer is free (listed August 2026). Heartly is free for one active campaign, then €29 to €99 per month. For stock urgency on Shopify product pages, free is hard to beat. Heartly is priced for the sale page, the marketplace, PAngV compliance, and WooCommerce.
