Scan anything into your CRM

Scan event badges, paper business cards, QR codes, and digital business cards using Popl's #1 rated mobile app. Every lead syncs instantly to your CRM — no manual entry, no missed opportunities.

Improve lead quality with AI

Popl’s AI-powered lead enrichment fills in the gaps - automatically adding missing contact info like emails, phone numbers, job titles, LinkedIn profiles and more.

Qualify leads, delight your sales team

Leads don't qualify themselves, so Popl’s custom lead qualifiers and tags make it easy for your team to capture the right details in real time. This saves your marketing and sales teams from manual clean-up and missing context.

No internet, no problem

Let's face it, conference Wi-Fi can be a nightmare. We built Popl from the ground up with offline capabilities in mind so that all leads are saved, enriched, and synced no matter the conditions.

Support that works the event with you

Your team’s got the booth, we’ve got their back. Popl is the only event solution offering real-time, on-floor call support, just a tap away. Whether it’s a quick question or unexpected tech help, our team is always standing by to assist.

Business cards belong in your CRM, not your pocket

Paper cards are still out there and shared often. Just scan, sync to CRM, and skip the manual data entry and typing. Goodbye paper, hello digital.

Turn QR codes into qualified leads

Digital business cards and LinkedIn QR codes are everywhere. With Popl, you can scan them just like you would an event badge to create lead in your CRM. No screenshots, no manual entry - just pure lead capture magic.

From handshake to CRM in seconds

No more CSVs. No more manual uploads. The moment you capture a lead, it’s already in your CRM - enriched, qualified, and assigned. That’s the power of Popl’s native CRM integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions

General

How does Popl simplify lead capture at events?

Popl enables instant lead capture, qualification, and CRM syncing - ensuring no manual data entry is required by any team member.

Can the Popl app scan QR codes to create leads?

Yes! Popl allows users to scan QR codes (including LinkedIn QR codes) to instantly capture lead information, ensuring fast and seamless contact collection at events, conferences, and meetings. You can also scan the QR codes of other digital business cards and save them as leads in Popl.

How does Popl's universal lead scanner work?

Popl’s universal lead scanner first uses AI-powered OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to scan event badges, paper business cards, and QR codes, extracting contact details in real-time.

Once our OCR vision technology identifies the information in an image, our proprietary Popl AI enrichment system and trained LLMs enrich the lead into a full contact.

With an industry-leading 90% enrichment success rate, Popl AI eliminates the need for reliance on conference lead capture badge kit APIs, giving customers a seamless and superior solution.

How does Popl AI enrichment work?

Popl AI captures a contact's name and company, then leverages our proprietary AI algorithms and intelligent search methods to gather the rest of their contact details.

Our enrichment process achieves a 90% successful email or LinkedIn profile match rate - significantly above the industry standard.

Beyond providing personal contact details, our enrichment goes further, providing valuable insights into a contact's company as well.

Will Popl work when my phone is offline or my internet service is bad?

Yes! Popl captures and stores leads offline, automatically syncing them once your device is back online.

We built Popl from the ground up with offline capabilities in mind so that all leads are saved, enriched, and synced no matter the conditions.

Does Popl require an event badge API kit to scan badges?

No! Unlike traditional lead retrieval systems, Popl’s universal lead scanner works without expensive event badge API kits, saving your team thousands of dollars per event. However, we do offer event badge API integrations for most events.

Does Popl really work at every event?

Yes. Popl is designed to work at any event, from small networking meetups to large trade shows and conferences. Our universal lead capture technology works independently from event organizers, meaning your team can scan badges, collect contacts, and sync leads to your CRM - regardless of the event’s lead systems.

Can the Popl app scan other digital business cards?

Yep! The Popl app is the only app on the market that is able to scan other, non-Popl digital business cards from different companies.

The ability to scan other digital business cards is part of our universal lead scanner, which can scan virtually anything and capture it as a lead, including QR codes, paper business cards, and event badges.

Popl Teams is designed for fast onboarding, with most teams set up and running the same day, thanks to its user-friendly interface and seamless integrations.

How does pricing work for Popl?

Popl offers flexible pricing for both teams and individuals. See all pricing here: https://popl.co/pages/pricing

How does Popl’s pricing work for teams?

Popl’s pricing is designed to be simple, flexible, and value-driven. You only pay for the leads your team captures, ensuring your costs are directly tied to the value you receive. Every lead collected is an opportunity, and you never overpay for what you don’t use.

This model is a breath of fresh air compared to traditional event lead capture pricing, which is often complicated, unclear, and based on factors like event attendance, integration needs, and team size - none of which truly reflect the value you receive.

Why does Popl charge based on leads captured?

Leads drive business growth, and Popl ensures every in-person interaction turns into a real opportunity. Our pricing is designed to align with the value you receive - paying based on leads captured means you’re only charged for results, not arbitrary fees. This performance-based model makes lead capture simple, scalable, and directly tied to your success.

What makes Popl’s pricing model better than traditional event lead capture tools?

Most event lead capture pricing is complex, full of hidden fees, and difficult to scale. Popl simplifies this with:

Transparent, usage-based pricing - pay for the leads you capture, not confusing licenses or seat restrictions.
No rigid seat assignments - teams can capture and manage leads seamlessly.
Simple purchasing options - buy exactly what you need, without complicated contracts.
Popl’s approach means companies focus on maximizing ROI, not managing complicated lead capture logistics.

What happens if my team captures more leads than we originally purchased?

For enterprise customers, any additional leads captured beyond your pre-purchased amount will be charged as overages. Our team will ensure clear communication on usage so there are no surprises.
For self-serve customers, lead capture is pay-as-you-go, meaning you’re automatically billed for the leads your team collects each month.

What type of customer support does Popl provide?

For quick support at any time, use the live chat on our website or email us at [email protected]. You can also visit our help center for quick answers to any question!
