Badge-file retrieval

Capture the answers, not just the badge.

Momencio scans a badge or business card, then enriches the contact with outside data and automates the follow-up, on plans with a 12-month commitment and a 5-seat minimum. Scaniam works from the other direction: a short survey captures qualifying answers straight from the attendee at the booth, so the lead arrives with their own answers, with no minimums and a free plan to start on.

Who they are

Where Momencio fits

Momencio is an event lead capture and sales intelligence platform. Its app scans badges and business cards, enriches contacts with data such as job title, company, and LinkedIn profile, and can trigger personalized follow-up emails and microsites from the show floor, with CRM sync and offline capture.

The commercial model is enterprise. Momencio's own pricing page states that all plans require a minimum 12-month commitment and five active seat licenses. Add-ons such as AI EdgeCapture, CRM integrations, and onboarding are billed separately, and badge scanning at a show also requires the event API, purchased from the organizer.

The deeper difference is where the lead data comes from. Momencio captures a thin record and enriches it afterwards with third-party data: who the person is on paper. Scaniam captures the answers the attendee gives at the booth: what they need, what they use today, how ready they are to buy. Appended data can tell you a job title. It cannot tell you the person is comparing vendors this quarter. That is why Scaniam puts a survey, a game, and a rep rating at the booth instead of an enrichment pipeline behind it.

Verdict

The bottom line

Momencio starts from the badge and works outward: scan, enrich, automate the follow-up. Scaniam starts from the conversation at the booth: draw the visitor with a game, capture their answers, track the gift, and score the lead before they walk away. Choose by where you want your lead data to come from: appended after the show, or stated at the booth.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Scaniam a Momencio alternative?

For teams whose capture point is their own booth, yes. Momencio scans badges and enriches the contacts afterwards, on plans with a 12-month commitment and a five-seat minimum. Scaniam captures qualifying answers directly from the attendee through a survey and game, with no seat minimums and a free plan, so the lead arrives with stated answers rather than enriched data.

What does Momencio cost compared to Scaniam?

Momencio does not publish flat prices. Its pricing page states that all plans require a minimum 12-month commitment and five active seats, with add-ons like AI EdgeCapture, CRM integrations, and onboarding billed separately. Scaniam is $0 on the free plan and $149 per month flat on Premium, with no commitment.

Does Scaniam do AI contact enrichment like Momencio?

No, because it solves the problem from the other end. Enrichment appends third-party data to a scanned badge: who the person is on paper. Scaniam captures first-party answers from the attendee at the booth: what they need and how ready they are to buy. If your motion depends on appended data and automated microsites, that is Momencio's job. If you want stated answers and a rep rating at the booth, that is Scaniam's.

Do I need to buy anything from the event organizer to use Scaniam?

No. Scaniam uses your own QR code and survey, so it works at any venue, any event, including small expos and your own hosted events. Badge scanning tools need the event API, which is purchased from the show organizer per event.
