RapidTables hosts a plain click counter: you click a button, it counts, and it tells you how many clicks you managed. It is fast and it works, and for a long time it was the first result most people found. What it does not do is tell you whether your number is any good.
Benchmento runs the same test and then answers that question. Every run ends with a percentile drawn from published score distributions, so 7.4 clicks per second arrives with the context that most people sit between 6 and 9. The test also comes in eight durations, because a one second burst and a sixty second run measure different things and are not comparable to each other.

What is the same
The measurement. Both count clicks against a timer and divide, and neither needs an account or an install. If all you want is a number in five seconds, either will give it to you and they will broadly agree.
Both are free and both run in the browser with nothing to download.
What is different
The scoring. A raw click count is hard to interpret, because clicks per second varies enormously with mouse, technique and duration. Benchmento reports your rate, your peak one second window, and where that rate sits against typical scores, so the number means something without you having to go and look up what good is.
The durations are separate pages rather than one setting, because the questions differ. A one second test measures pure burst rate. The five second test is the figure most people quote. A sixty second run measures whether your technique survives fatigue, and pacing matters more than peak speed.
There is also a spacebar speed test on the same engine, which matters because keyboard and mouse rates are not interchangeable and a lot of people want both.
Who should use which
If you want a bare counter with no framing at all, RapidTables does that and does it quickly. If you want to know whether your result is fast, how it compares, how it holds up over a longer run, and whether it improves over time, that is what this site is built around.
Nothing here ranks you against other visitors. Percentiles come from published distributions for the task, and your own results stay in your browser rather than on a server.
Common questions
Is Benchmento the same test as the RapidTables click counter?
The measurement is the same — clicks counted against a timer. The difference is what happens afterwards: you get a percentile, a peak one second rate and a stored personal best rather than a bare count.
What is a good clicks per second score?
On a five second test most people land between 6 and 9 clicks per second. Above 10 is fast for ordinary clicking, and scores far above that usually involve jitter or butterfly technique rather than normal use.
Why do the durations have separate pages?
Because they measure different things and the scores are not comparable. A one second burst is peak motor rate; a sixty second run is endurance and pacing. Keeping them apart stops people comparing a burst score against an endurance score.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup and nothing is uploaded. Your personal bests are stored in your own browser, and clearing your browser data clears them.
Is there a spacebar version?
Yes. The spacebar speed test uses the same engine and the same scoring, with its own durations.
