SnapCount vs. Scoreholio

Scoreholio runs tournaments. SnapCount counts things. Pick the one that matches your job.

If you are running a bracketed tournament with seeding, formats, and payouts, use Scoreholio. It is free for up to 8 courts and it is built for that job. SnapCount is for a different problem: several people counting one number at the same time, where the thing being counted is not a game. Gate admissions, venue occupancy, stocktakes, attendance.

Scoreholio

  • Tournament software assumes the thing you count is a match
  • Brackets, seeding, and formats are overhead when you just need a total
  • Nothing in a bracket system counts people through a door
Best for shared counts

SnapCount

  • Counts anything, not only games
  • Several people add to one running total from their own phones
  • Timestamped export of the count itself, not match results

A Closer Look

What each tool is actually for

Scoreholio is tournament automation: round robin, single and double elimination, pool play, seeding, payouts, and player check-in across cornhole, pickleball, darts, and other bracketed sports. SnapCount is a shared counter. It has no brackets and no formats. Its job is to let several people add to the same number at once and produce a record afterwards. If your job has a bracket, Scoreholio is the better tool.

Scoreholio pricing and features

Counting things that are not games

A bracket system cannot tell you how many people are inside your venue, how many crates are on aisle four, or how many attended the second service. Those counts have several people counting at once, one number that has to be trusted, and a record needed afterwards. That is the gap SnapCount fills.

Cost and commitment

Scoreholio's free tier covers up to 8 courts, unlimited round robin, and 32-team brackets, with player scoring from personal devices on paid plans. SnapCount Guest Mode is free with no account for anyone joining. Paid SnapCount plans are Pro from $15/mo or Enterprise from $39/mo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use Scoreholio instead of SnapCount?

If you are running a tournament with brackets, yes. Scoreholio is built for that and its free tier is generous. Come to SnapCount when you need to count something that is not a game, like people through a gate or stock on a shelf.

Can SnapCount run a bracket?

No. SnapCount has no brackets, seeding, or match formats, and there are no plans to add them. It is a shared counter.

Can I use both?

Yes, and some organizers do. Scoreholio handles the competition while SnapCount handles the gate count or the occupancy number for the same event.
