No they are not. I've looked at stools everywhere & the ones that don't fold are always cheaper. Mainly because the folding ones have more work put into them. Unless you want to buy a very cheap brand that will fall apart.
Yes, Amazon.com has several different folding counter stools that range in price from about $60 to $80.

Kitchen counter stools are used for exactly that. They are used in kitchens and placed along the bar counter which is a little higher than the usual dining table.

Stop setting your stools on the counter and set them on the floor where they belong.
I think that it depends on the counter height! If it's a kitchen counter that you work at, then bar stools might look a bit odd next to it. Plus, there's the practicality aspect too; if you want to sit by the counter top then bar stools might make it too low to use. However, if when sat on the bar stools, your elbows can comfortably rest on the counter top without having to stoop too low, you should be OK. You can also get height adjustable bar stools, with hydraulic levers or gas height adjustment.
