I just have a small note pad at my chair. When I start a new row, I write the row number on it. I do this for knitting also. Simple but effective for me. I guess I’m old school, my long deceased aunts did this.

I've had a Susan Bates "Peg It" knitting counter for many years but it looks like it is no longer available. I did find this one made by Pony https://www.heartstringsyarn.com/pon...ter-my627.html . How ever if I'm not at home I use a scrap piece of paper and pen.
Bobby pins make great stitch markers. I have the medium 2 inch long ones but I find them a bit too long. There a smaller 1.25 inch bobby pins that might be a better choice.

This is the one I have for knitting and I really like it. It locks for travel, or if you'll be leaving your work for a bit

my problem with row counters is that I'd forget if I've punched/clicked it LOL But I do use a stitch marker. I love these https://www.amazon.com/Knitting-Coun...s%2C168&sr=8-3
When I don't have them with me, I use just a short piece of yarn.
BTW, I recently saw this row of cupcakes on FB and had to try it right away... it's so cute!

I use both counters and markers. Old school counter as long as I remember to roll the counter and I more than often will use a piece of yard as a marker keeping things simple. I have been known to stitch right in plastic markers.

I ended up buying the following from Amazon, mainly because it is metal and I am hoping it will be sturdy:
KTRIO Metal Hand Tally Counter 4-Digit Tally Counters Mechanical Palm Counter Clicker Counter, Silver
I have used it on two projects and it was helpful.
Link is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
However, I still find that I am counting stitches as well as rows and will likely use the paper and marker methods
along with the counter. (Or I could buy two counters.
