LeadLens

LeadLens turns trade-show badge scans into enriched, exportable contact records, and suits solo reps and event teams that need to keep capturing leads offline. Its flexible capture and plan range make it a practical option, but the free tier’s 25 lifetime scans are only a small-scale trial.

Overview

The core proposition is focused: scan a printed or handwritten badge, review field-level confidence scores, and build a contact record with email and LinkedIn enrichment. That workflow can reduce manual entry at a booth, while the confidence scores give reps a reason to check uncertain names or titles before follow-up. Derived email addresses and profile matches are useful starting points, not a guarantee that every detail is correct.

Offline capture is a meaningful advantage at crowded venues: scans wait on the device and sync when connectivity returns. Imports from email signatures or CSVs and exports in CSV, XLSX, or vCard give teams ways to move records into other workflows. Connections include HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets, and webhooks on supported tiers; support also names Zapier, Make, and n8n presets for other CRMs.

LeadLens stores data in US-East using Supabase PostgreSQL with row-level security. The maker says scan data is not sold and badge images are removed after extraction; account deletion requests result in data removal within seven days. Its SOC 2 audit is not complete, so it is not the choice for organizations requiring that certification. Email support responds within one business day.

Key features

• Badge OCR: Vision-model OCR reads names, titles, and companies, including from handwritten badges. Per-field confidence scores help users prioritize corrections rather than treating every capture as equally reliable.
• Contact enrichment: LeadLens derives email addresses from company conventions, finds LinkedIn profiles, and checks email domains against MX records. This can speed prospect research, but the inferred details still warrant review.
• Offline capture and exports: On-device queuing protects capture when a venue connection drops, with syncing once service returns. CSV, XLSX, and vCard exports suit different handoffs, while signature and CSV imports help bring existing contact data in.
• Integrations: HubSpot sync appears on Pro and higher plans, while Slack alerts are included with Unlimited. Google Sheets, webhooks, and named automation presets broaden the connection options, but access depends on supported tiers and workflows.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and is billed $0/forever. It includes 25 lifetime scans, one show workspace, and basic enrichment. That is enough to assess the capture approach, not to support recurring event use.

Starter costs $29 a month, billed $29/mo or $279/yr, for 200 scans/mo, unlimited shows, and full AI enrichment. It fits solo reps who need more than a one-off trial but do not need the listed HubSpot sync or analytics. Pro costs $99 a month, billed $99/mo or $948/yr, and raises the allowance to 750 scans/mo while adding HubSpot sync and analytics; it is aimed at event marketers and reps running 5–10 shows a year.

For shared booth capture, Team costs $149 a month, billed $149/mo, and provides five seats, 500 pooled scans/mo, a shared contact database, and a team dashboard. Team Pro costs $249 a month, billed $249/mo, with ten seats, 1,000 pooled scans/mo, a shared database, and HubSpot sync. Team Max costs $449 a month, billed $449/mo, for 20 seats and unlimited pooled scans, plus a shared database and HubSpot sync. These plans trade individual scan allowances for shared capacity and coordination features.

Unlimited costs $179 a month, billed $179/mo or $143.25/mo billed annually. It includes unlimited scans and shows, HubSpot sync, Slack alerts, and analytics, making it the clearest fit for a high-volume individual or operation that does not need the team-seat structure. The Volume plan has custom pricing for 20+ seats, 5,000+ monthly scans, multi-show rollouts, or procurement-heavy teams.

Platforms

LeadLens runs in a phone browser and can be installed as a PWA. A native iOS app is listed on paid plans.

Who it's for

Choose LeadLens if badge scanning, offline resilience, and enriched records are central to your trade-show follow-up, and its scan quotas match your volume. Solo reps can start with Starter; recurring event marketers may benefit from Pro’s HubSpot sync and analytics; teams should compare pooled quotas and seats before committing. It is a weaker fit for buyers who need completed SOC 2 certification or Android support.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Offline scans queue and sync later, reducing the risk of missed captures in poor-connection venues.
• Pro: Confidence-scored OCR and enrichment can cut manual data entry while flagging fields that need review.
• Pro: Plans span solo use through 20-seat teams, with pooled scans and shared records on team tiers.
• Con: The free allowance is just 25 lifetime scans, so it cannot serve as an ongoing event plan.
• Con: Team quotas are finite on Team and Team Pro; teams with heavier volume must pay for Team Max or seek custom pricing.
• Con: The SOC 2 audit is unfinished, ruling it out for organizations that require an attained certification.

Alternatives

BoothIQ is an alternative for readers seeking an individual free plan with unlimited leads, offline mode, AI summaries, and follow-up drafts.

Consider Meetopio if a free seat with limited monthly scans and voice captures, plus AI follow-up drafts, better suits a smaller capture workload.

ExpoPlatform is another event-platform option, with a free plan for up to 30 participants.

Choose eventkrowd Lead Retrieval if a one-time activation priced at $350, paid once suits your purchase preference.

Verdict

LeadLens is best for solo reps and event teams that want badge capture to keep working offline and need enriched leads in standard export formats. Its range from a modest Starter allowance to pooled team plans makes it adaptable, but scan caps and the unfinished SOC 2 audit are real constraints. Choose it when those capture and workflow strengths matter more than certification; look elsewhere if SOC 2 is mandatory or your team needs a platform not listed for LeadLens.
