Counting people by hand is hard — crowds move, you get distracted, and the number slips away. This free people counter gives you one big tap target per person, so your count stays accurate even in a busy entrance.
Who Uses a People Counter?
- Event staff: count guests at entrances and exits, track each zone separately with multiple counters.
- Retail stores: measure foot traffic to compare busy and quiet hours.
- Teachers: take attendance on field trips — count heads getting on and off the bus.
- Venues and security: stay under capacity limits with a reliable running total.
- Ushers and bouncers: the classic clicker job, now on your phone.
Tips for Accurate Headcounts
- Stand where you can see the whole entrance — never count from behind the crowd.
- Use one counter per entrance or zone, and rename each label (“Main door”, “VIP”, “Exit”).
- Count in batches: tap once per person, steadily, instead of rushing.
- For in-and-out tracking, use the minus button when someone leaves, or run a separate “exits” counter and subtract at the end.
- Export to CSV at the end of the shift for your records.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I count people entering and leaving separately?
Yes. Create two counters — one labeled “In” and one labeled “Out” — and the difference is your current headcount.
Does it work for large crowds?
Yes. There is no counting limit, and the big tap target plus optional vibration makes fast counting reliable.
Can my team share one count?
Each device keeps its own count in its browser. For team counting, have each entrance keep a counter and add the totals with the CSV export.
