Compare Questro as a Stagetimer alternative for uploading an agenda, generating a timer queue with AI, and running timers from the browser.
Stagetimer is a capable dedicated timing product with CSV rundown import, linked and scheduled timers, multiple output views, and production integrations. Questro is different at setup time: upload a schedule file or paste agenda text, generate a timer queue with AI, review the queue, and run the timer from a private browser control link. Some teams need deep, dedicated timing infrastructure; others need a fast queue plus the rest of the event room, including moderated Q&A, a teleprompter, and AI captions, in the same browser workspace.
Stagetimer is a dedicated professional stage timer for events, broadcasts, and productions, with CSV rundown import from Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, manual, linked, and scheduled timers with advanced timing feedback, and Viewer, Controller, Operator, Agenda, and Moderator outputs. Its production depth includes a custom output designer, API, Stream Deck and Companion workflows, OBS guidance, a desktop app, and NDI output. Questro focuses on browser-based setup: AI-generated timer queues from an uploaded schedule or pasted agenda, queue review, and start, pause, reset, add time, remove time, and jump-next controls behind a public display link and a private control link.
Choose Stagetimer when you need a dedicated stage timer with deep timing controls, when your rundown already lives in a clean spreadsheet or CSV workflow, when API, Companion, OBS, vMix, NDI, desktop, or offline workflows are central to the production, or when you need custom outputs and several specialized timing views. Questro is not trying to replace those advanced production workflows.
Choose Questro when you want AI to create a timer queue from a schedule file or pasted agenda text, when a public display link and a private control link are enough for the room, when the same event also needs moderated Q&A, a teleprompter, or AI captions, or when a one-event buying option through the $99 7-Day Event Pass fits the event window better than an annual plan.
The room pattern stays familiar: the operator controls timing privately while speakers see a clean public display. To switch, open Questro Timer, upload the schedule file or paste the agenda text, generate the timer queue with AI, review segment names, durations, and order, open the display link on the stage screen or confidence monitor, and run a short rehearsal before doors open. Operators should always review the generated queue before showtime.
Stagetimer publishes a free Starter tier, annual paid plans, 30-day single event licenses, an Enterprise tier, and a desktop lifetime license. Questro has a Free plan, Pro at $19 per month or $15 per month billed annually, and a 7-Day Event Pass at $99 for one event that also covers moderated Q&A, Teleprompter, and AI captions in the same workspace.
