We've sold and used digital tally counters and clickers for more than 10 years. Over that time we've had a chance to work with, test and review hundreds of different varieties from just about every manufacturer. For simple counting tasks (like counting attendance, prayers, croche patterns, etc.), we recommend these five counters. Our recommended counters all meet the following criteria:
- Quality: Will the counter last at least a year of continuous use? Will the battery last at least a year before it needs to be replaced?
- Good Button Feedback: It's important that you can "feel" the click of the button when adding or subtracting on a counter.
- Affordability: Is the counter "affordable" compared to similar products?
