FAQ
Choosing a timer for classrooms and workshops
Isn't ClassroomScreen free?
Yes — its Basic plan is genuinely free with all widgets, including the timer. It's a great fit for one teacher running one shared screen in one room. RunCue is built for a different case: a facilitator running timing from their own laptop while separate room or breakout displays show only a clean countdown.
What about Online-Stopwatch or ClassDojo's timer?
Both are free and well-built for a single shared screen, the same model as ClassroomScreen. None of them separate a facilitator's control view from what the room sees.
When does RunCue make more sense than a free classroom timer?
For a workshop or training day where a facilitator needs to run timing across several breakout rooms or stages from one control view, with private transition notes the room never sees.
Is RunCue free?
No. There's no permanent free plan. A 15-minute, no-card trial runs the full timer, then Pro is $19/mo and Team is $49/mo.
Is there a trial?
Yes — and there's no rush to set it up. You get up to 7 days to build the run of show before any clock starts; the 15-minute live trial begins only once you press Start, and it includes the live timer, separate role links, cues, Reset, and segment editing before the room locks — no card required.
