CountPort alternative

A CountPort alternative for operators who need more than people counting

CountPort is a retail-focused people-counting platform built around existing overhead cameras. It is a credible option when the main requirement is store traffic measurement, but buyers should compare the full operating model: per-camera, per-store licensing; a contact-led trial; and processing on a small computer on site. Horus takes a broader operational-analytics approach, with compatible IP/RTSP camera feeds, Windows edge processing, queue and traffic workflows, security use cases, and dashboard reporting without sending standard camera footage to the Horus cloud.

Who should switch?

Horus is worth evaluating if your requirement extends beyond counting entrances: queues, dwell, traffic flow, restricted areas, safety, or operational alerts from the same camera estate. CountPort may be the cleaner fit for a retail team that wants a focused people-counting workflow and prefers a no-card, contact-led evaluation. The published figures checked on 17 August 2026 are directional evidence only; they do not authorize a Horus price change or a claim that either product is cheaper in every deployment.

Frequently asked questions

Does CountPort require new cameras?

The checked CountPort pricing material describes use with existing overhead cameras and on-site processing on a small computer. Confirm camera placement and compatibility during its contact-led trial.

How does Horus pricing compare with CountPort?

CountPort publishes Lite at US$29 per camera per month and Pro at US$39 per camera per month. Horus has an approved target of US$49 for one camera and US$129 for up to three, but this snapshot is not an independently verified live public price and the models are not identical.

Is CountPort's trial free and how long is it?

The checked CountPort page describes a trial on the customer's own cameras with a contact-led start, but it does not publish a duration. Do not infer a trial length from this page.

When is Horus the better fit?

Choose an evaluation when you need operational analytics beyond people counting, want Windows edge processing, and want to test compatible IP/RTSP feeds without making standard camera footage part of the Horus cloud workflow.

Compare the operating model before choosing a retail analytics platform.

Horus runs on-premise, works with existing cameras, and keeps video on your site.
