Shared Counter is the simple and effective tool for counting visitors to events, local businesses, religious functions and much more, even with multiple entrances. To begin, create a new counter, optionally specifying the capacity. You can then share the counter with other devices, for example to monitor multiple entrances at the same time, via a simple link or QR code. You will always have under control the total count of all devices, synchronized in real time. The service was created in particular for monitoring access to the churches, but is now freely available. If you are in charge of a church you can access the "Reserved area for churches", to benefit from usage statistics and other useful services on the DinDonDan Web Services. Shared Counter is an open source project offered and maintained by the DinDonDan App association.
Voices in View
Read full descriptionHide full description
Voices in View helps people who are hard of hearing follow in-person conversations with large, real-time captions on iPhone. Choose the microphone that fits the conversation: the nearby iPhone, DJI Mic Mini 2.0 or another compatible USB microphone, or supported AirPods worn by the person reading captions. Use Ghost when captions should disappear after the conversation, or choose Save to keep finalized transcript text on this iPhone for later reading, sharing, or deletion. Features: • On-device English transcription using Apple’s Speech framework • Large, high-contrast captions with live size controls • Ghost mode that does not save transcript text • Optional local transcript history • Share saved transcripts through the iOS share sheet • A microphone test before starting captions • Built-in iPhone microphone support with no extra hardware • Tested support for DJI Mic Mini 2.0 and compatible USB audio • Two-channel USB input mixed into one easy-to-follow conversation feed • AirPods Far Field for hands-free, head-directed microphone capture • Live scrolling that keeps recent context available • No accounts, ads, analytics, cloud transcription, or audio recordings AirPods feature availability depends on the AirPods model and iOS version. Hearing Aid, Transparency, Conversation Boost, and other listening settings remain under the user’s control in iPhone settings; Voices in View does not change them. Live transcription availability depends on Apple’s on-device speech support for your iPhone. Voices in View currently supports US English and requires iOS 26 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Voices in View at every 2 days against Shared Counter's monthly. Shared Counter's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
