The pitch counter that respects the game. Count every pitch, clock pitch speed, and protect young arms with Little League pitch limits and rest-day tracking — with no ads interrupting your game. Ever. Whether you coach a baseball or softball team, keep the pitch count from the bleachers, or want to track your own pitching, Pitch Counter gives you four big buttons and gets out of your way: Ball, Strike, Foul, In Play. Strikeouts and walks advance the batter automatically, and one tap undoes any mistake. COUNT PITCHES WITHOUT MISSING A PITCH • Giant, glove-friendly buttons designed for sunlight and one thumb • The pitch count limit ring turns amber, then red as a pitcher approaches their daily limit • Balls, strikes, fouls and balls in play — all counted correctly (a foul with two strikes doesn't add a strike) • Undo anything: pitches, batters, innings • Every outing is saved automatically, inning by inning PITCH SPEED — HONEST, AND EVERY DISTANCE IS FREE • Time the pitch from release to glove and get speed in mph or km/h • Little League (46 ft), Intermediate (50 ft), Softball fastpitch (43 ft), youth softball (35 ft), MLB/High School (60 ft 6 in) and custom distances — all free, no radar gun hardware needed • Mistimed readings are rejected instead of shown as absurd numbers • Session average and max, plus velocity history for every pitcher BUILT FOR COACHES AND TEAM PARENTS • Track multiple pitchers with per-inning pitch counts • Little League and PONY pitch limit rules built in, with required rest days calculated for you • See at a glance who is available to pitch today and how many pitches they have left • Batters faced, strike percentage, first-pitch strike percentage • A clean scoreboard for games, scrimmages and backyard ball YOUR STATS, YOUR SEASON • Outing history with per-inning breakdowns and pitching stats • Speed progression charts — watch velocity grow across the season • Export any outing to CSV NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. NO NONSENSE. No ads covering the screen between pitches. No sign-up. No location tracking. Your data stays on your device. Pitch Counter is free to use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Boxscore at none against Pitch Counter's 1. Boxscore also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Pitch Counter's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
