Digital Tally Counter alternative: shared counting your whole crew can try free
Digital Tally Counter packs 25+ counters, scorekeepers, and timers into one browser app, and its Pro plan adds sync and live links. SnapCount is the alternative when the job is several people on one live total: the shared count is free to try with no account, and paid plans include seats for the whole organization.
Pick SnapCount when a team needs one shared manual total and you want to test that on several devices before paying. Guest is free with no account, and Pro is $15/mo or $129/yr per organization with up to 10 members. Stay on Digital Tally Counter when one person needs many counter types, offline counting in the browser, or a $4.99 Day Pass. Its listed Pro plan is $24.99/mo for one seat, and Enterprise is $99/mo with 5 seats. SnapCount runs on iPhone and web, with no Android app.

When to switch
On digitaltallycounter.com the free tier is one device, and cloud sync and share links start on Pro at $24.99/mo per seat. A ten-person crew on their Enterprise plan is listed at $99/mo plus $15 for each seat past five. SnapCount lets that crew prove the live total for free first, then keeps the record for $15/mo on Pro.

Where each one wins
When SnapCount wins
- Your crew needs to see that the live total holds across several phones before anyone pays.
- You are paying for more than one person: seats are included per organization.
- The count must become a record with roles, locks, an activity log, and exports.
When Digital Tally Counter may fit
- One person counts many different things and wants every counter type in one tool.
- The count happens with no internet at all.
- A single day of paid features is all you need.
What SnapCount does not do
- SnapCount has no Android app. Platforms are iPhone and web only.
- SnapCount is collaborative manual counting, not sensors or cameras.
- SnapCount does not certify capacity, fire code, or legal occupancy. Confirm requirements with the venue and relevant authorities.
How the switch works
There is no importer. Prove the live total first, then recreate the counters you still need.
Start a Guest count
Open SnapCount in a browser. No account and no credit card. The session starts with 1 hour and stays open while active for up to 4 hours, on up to 10 devices.
Share the QR or link
Every counter on the crew scans the code and joins the same live total. That is the part to test.
Keep the record on Pro or Enterprise
