For Sony cameras, the Sony a6500 has been officially tested for 200,000 mechanical shutter release cycles, and the a7RII, a7RIII, and a9 have been tested for 500,000 mechanical shutter counts.

Any alternative and free tools?
Another free tool for checking Sony camera shutter count is picmeta. I have have seen it working on previous Sony cameras such as the A7ii and A6300.
