For every shop with prices on the wall
Turn any TV into your shop’s price board for free
AI is your designer. Say what you want, in your own words, and your board is designed in about two minutes.
No designer guessing what is in your head. No design software to learn. Change a price from your phone (2 a month with each paid TV, then £1 each) and the TV, your printed price list or menu and your leaflets all have it.
One screen free, for as long as you like, with a small counterboard.com band on the board, no card. Without the band: £14 a month for one screen, and £7 for each screen after it, with no VAT to add. No contract, cancel any time.
We run one of these in our own shop, so it has to work on a busy Friday night.
Up in a real shop. A kebab and chip shop, every day, two TVs.
Any TV. A smart TV as it is, any other with a stick.
One screen free. No card, no contract.
One price list, everywhere
Change a price once. It changes everywhere.
Your board on the TV, your price list or menu on the counter and in the leaflets: all from the same list. Change a price from your phone behind the counter, and every screen and every printed copy has it.

Type what you sell, the way you would say it. Say how it should look. Watch it draw. Then put it on your TV if you like it.
No password to make up, no card. One free board a day from each address.
Every trade, every look
Every one of these was drawn in about two minutes
Nobody designed these. Each one was drawn by Counterboard from a few words about the look and a short price list, and is shown exactly as it came back. The shops are examples. Yours carries your name and your prices, and when a price changes you change it from your phone.
Have yours drawn, free → Not on here? It draws a board for any business with a price list.
As featured in
Street Food Hub:
the ability to make changes quickly could be particularly useful
In a real shop
On the wall, above the counter, every day
These are not examples. They are two boards made with Counterboard, photographed on the ordinary TVs above the counter of a real kebab and chip shop, with its real prices. When a price changes, it is changed from a phone and both screens follow on their own.
How it works
Three things, once. Then a minute a change.
Everything after the first evening is typing a number and pressing one button.
Say what you want
Nine quick questions, one at a time, each a tap. Your colours, or a photo of a board you like. Your logo or your name. Which way the TV hangs, a bar along the bottom for a message and a QR code. Then your items and prices: type them, or photograph the list you already have and it is read for you to check.
We draw it, you check it
About two minutes later a finished board is on the screen: your name or your logo, every item and every price printed on. Not right yet? Say what to change, in words, and it is drawn again. Nothing reaches a TV until you say so.
Put it on the TV
A smart TV, or any TV with a stick in it. Six letters come up on the screen. Type them into your phone once and that television is set up for good.
Pricing
Free. Or £14 a month, and the band comes off.
One subscription, so much a screen: £14 a month for one screen, and £7 for each screen after it. Put up another screen and the price goes up that day. Remove one from your account and the price comes down at a renewal, never part way through a month.
No contract, cancel any time.
Your first board is free. Each paid TV includes 2 price updates a month. More cost £1 each, sold in packs from £5. Each TV you put up gets a board drawn for it, free, and a free board is drawn once. After that everything we draw is credits: a price change is one credit, a new look or an item added, taken off or renamed is two, a whole new board is three, with two goes at getting it right. A paid plan includes two credits a month for each TV, so two price updates, and they start again on the 1st. On the free screen you pay as you go, a credit at a time. Need more in a busy month? Buy them inside the dashboard: ten for £9, twenty-five for £20 or fifty for £35, with no change to your plan. Five shops or more? Ask us about one invoice a month for all of them.
Setting up
This is the whole job
Ten minutes, once. A smart TV needs nothing plugged in; any other TV takes a stick. Nobody has to touch the television again.
On an Amazon Fire TV or Fire Stick, search the television for counterboard and press Get: our own app is free, there is nothing to type on the TV, and it comes back on by itself every morning.

Why shops move to us
Most signage companies keep the keys
You pay them to build it, and after that every change goes through them. A price rise is an email. A sold-out line is an email. A Christmas special is an email and a wait, and sometimes an invoice. So it does not get done, and the board on the wall slowly stops matching the shop.
We draw your board too. The difference is that you do not wait for us: say what you want and it is drawn while you stand there, every price on it. And then the real difference: we hand it over.
Questions
The ones everybody asks
What do I actually need to buy?
Probably nothing. A smart TV (Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV) runs it on its own. An older TV needs a streaming stick in its HDMI socket, about £30 from any shop, or we post you one with your board already on it. On a Fire TV, our free app is in the Appstore on the television itself — search it for counterboard.
Can I print my price list as well?
Yes. Every board has a Printed menu button: the same items and prices as an A4 or A5 counter menu or price list, or a leaflet for putting through doors, with your board's look at the top. Save it as a PDF for your print shop or print it yourself. When a price changes on the board, the printed version has it too. On the free screen it carries a small "Made with counterboard.com"; on a paid plan, only your own name.
What happens when the internet goes down?
Nothing. Each screen keeps the whole board on itself and carries on. When the line comes back it picks up whatever changed while it was off.
I have no artwork and I am not a designer. Can I still use it?
That is the point. Say how the board should look, or add a photo of one you like, and it is drawn for you with your items and prices on it. Your logo goes on if you have one; your shop's name is lettered on if you do not.
What if I do not like what it draws?
Say what to change, in words: the name bigger, the background darker, the fish at the top. On a board bought with credits it is drawn again, two goes in all; a free board is drawn once. Nothing goes on a TV until you keep one.
How many boards do I get, and what does a change cost?
One board for every TV you put up, drawn for you, free. After that everything we draw is credits: a price change is one, a new look or an item added, taken off or renamed is two, a whole new board is three. Your plan includes two credits a month for each paid TV, and they start again on the 1st. More can be bought inside the dashboard, ten for £9, twenty-five for £20 or fifty for £35, and bought credits never run out.
I already paid for a design. Can I use it?
Add a photo of it as the look and the board is drawn to match, with your prices on it. If you want it used exactly as it is, ask us and we will set it up for you.
Can my staff change prices?
Add as many people as you like, and decide who can publish to the screens and who can only prepare changes.
What if I add a screen halfway through the month?
The price goes up that day by one extra screen, worked out automatically, and you pay the difference for the rest of the month. Remove one from your account and the price comes down at a renewal, never part way through a month.
Do I sign anything?
No contract, no notice period. Stop whenever you like from inside the dashboard.
