Start directly with the right tool

For a flexible shared counter use the online tally counter. For recurring appointments there is the attendance list, for entries with prices the drink list, for points the score counter and for categories with a value per click the value counter. Which tool suits a club, an event, an office or a game night is shown in the use cases with examples.

Use it safely and realistically

TeamCounter works without registration. The generated links therefore take the role of access: the management link allows changes, the view link is read-only and the large display is meant for shared screens.

Do not enter confidential, health-related, political or other sensitive data. TeamCounter does not replace accounting, member management or legally binding documentation.
