Keep track of how many people are in your shop, club, or venue! Visitor Count is pretty simple, simply click "In" when people enter, and "Out" when people leave. The app will keep a running total indicating how many visitors you have at anyone time. Multiple device, shared counter support! You can share one counter across multiple devices. i.e. one person counting at the entrance and another person counting at the exit. Shared counting is done via a ledger system, so it supports limited offline counting. At present many shops, clubs, or venues have a restricted capacity and you need to ensure that that capacity is not exceeded, Visitor Count allows you to keep track of this and ensures you are compliant with any max capacity restrictions. Designed for both left and right handed people!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Visitor Count at none against Smart Counter's 1. Visitor Count also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Smart Counter's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (311 vs 12). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
