Side-by-side looks at the trade show lead capture tools buyers shortlist against us. Every claim is sourced, and every page says when the other tool is the better choice.
Captello licenses badge scanning and activations per event, sold through demos. Scaniam does a different job: it turns your own booth into a conversion system you run yourself.
Momencio scans a badge, then enriches the contact with outside data, on a 12-month, 5-seat contract. Scaniam captures stated answers at the booth instead, with no minimums.
iCapture captures and routes badge scans inside the Cvent ecosystem, on a quoted annual license. It moves contacts. Scaniam makes the booth create them, rated by your reps, from $0.
Google Forms, a QR generator, a prize-wheel app, and a spreadsheet. Free in licenses, expensive in glue. Here is what the gaps actually cost.
It depends on your capture point. If your leads arrive as organizer badge scans across a large program of shows, you are shopping for a lead retrieval platform: quoted, sales-led, licensed per event, per seat, or per year. If your capture point is your own booth, and the visit has to end in a rated lead and a provable ROI, you need a booth conversion system. That second job is what Scaniam is built for: game, survey, tracked gift, rep rating, and the report, starting free.
The job is different. Those platforms are built around the organizer badge file: scan, enrich, and route contacts into a CRM. Scaniam treats your own booth as the capture point and covers the whole flow, game, survey, gift, qualification, and report, in one product. It is also self-serve with a free plan and priced flat per month, while all three are quoted and licensed per event, per seat, or per year.
No, by design. A badge scan captures what the organizer file knows about a person; Scaniam's QR survey captures what the person tells you, so the lead arrives with stated answers instead of a name to research later. It also means Scaniam works at any venue and any event with no organizer badge API. If organizer badge scanning is a hard requirement, you need a retrieval platform, and our comparison pages say so.
We try hard to make them fair. Every claim about another product comes from that vendor's own site or widely published buyer reports, each page includes a section on when the other tool is the better choice, and we link the alternatives rather than hiding them. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
