Looking for a SocialCounters alternative?
SocialCounters is a browser counter screen for local shops: your Google rating, follower counts and a QR code on a TV or tablet, free for 1 counter or €7.99 a month. CountDeck costs $0 to start and is built for creators and indie hackers: your followers, GitHub stars and MRR on the phone you already own, and on an iPad or TV with Desk mode (Pro).
Choose SocialCounters if
- You run a shop, café or salon and want your Google rating on a screen customers see.
- You track Instagram, TikTok or Facebook.
- You want a free browser counter with no app to install.
Choose CountDeck if
- You are a creator or indie hacker watching your own numbers.
- You want followers, GitHub stars and MRR together.
- You want your count on your phone, not only on a shop screen.
- You want goals and the date of your next milestone.
