SharedCounter (sharedcounter.com) alternative: one live count your crew can trust
Shared People Counter on sharedcounter.com keeps entrances on one occupancy number across synced Android devices. SnapCount is the alternative when you want to prove that sync in a browser Guest session, keep working on iPhone + web, and save the record on Pro or Enterprise when the count becomes operations. (Not DinDonDan's free Shared Counter.)
Direct answer
Pick SnapCount when several people need one shared manual total on iPhone and web, with free Guest prove-it and Pro from $15/mo (or $129/yr) per org. Stay on SharedCounter at sharedcounter.com when Android multi-device people counter with capacity turning red and $19.95/mo multi-device after free single-device/trial. SnapCount has no Android app. DinDonDan free Shared Counter is a different product.

So what
The job is one occupancy number every entrance can see. Shared People Counter on sharedcounter.com is built around synced Android devices and a $19.95/mo multi-device plan after a free single-device or trial path. SnapCount is the switch when you need to prove that live total in a browser first, keep counting on iPhone and web, and keep the record when the night becomes operations.
Which one is right for you?
SharedCounter (sharedcounter.com) is a fit when
- You want an Android multi-device people counter with a Play Store CTA.
- Capacity turning red on their occupancy view is the signal you need.
- You need up to 30 synced devices on their multi-device plan.
- You are fine paying $19.95/mo for multi-device after a free single-device or trial path.
SnapCount is a fit when
- Several people need one shared manual total on iPhone and web.
- You want to prove live sync in a free Guest session with no account.
- Pro at $15/mo or $129/yr per organization (up to 10 members) is the paid step.
- You later need saved counters, roles, CSV/JSON, a read-only API, or Enterprise threshold alerts.

When SnapCount wins
- You can prove the live total in a Guest browser session before anyone pays.
- The crew already works on iPhone and web, not Android.
- The count needs to become a saved Pro or Enterprise record.
- You want a read-only API and signed increment/decrement webhooks on Pro, or threshold.alert.fired on Enterprise.
When SharedCounter may fit
- Android multi-device people counting is the job, and sharedcounter.com is the product you mean.
- You want their capacity-turning-red occupancy signal and up to 30 devices.
- A $19.95/mo multi-device plan after a free single-device or trial path matches how you buy.
Honest limits
- 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.
Step 1
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 3 devices.
Step 2
Share the QR or link
A second phone or laptop joins the same live total. That is the prove-it. If the number does not stay in sync, stop there.
Step 3
Recreate the record on Pro or Enterprise
There is no importer from SharedCounter. When the count becomes operations, create the counters again in a paid organization so you can save, invite, export, or alert.
