Badge scanners cost $500–$1,500 per event, deliver unverified data a week late, and your follow-ups land in spam. FormTact captures verified leads from a QR scan in 3 seconds.
Plug in your numbers. See the difference.
Badge scanner pricing is just the beginning. Here's what else you're paying for.
38% of exhibitors take longer than six days to follow up. 50% of buyers choose the vendor that responds first. Your scanner makes winning the speed race impossible.
CEIR data: 80% of trade show leads are never effectively followed up on — despite 81% of attendees having buying authority. Your loaded cost per lead: $112, wasted.
Your post-event email is cold outreach from an unfamiliar sender. 1 in 5 never reach the inbox. 67% of B2B buyers use a junk mailbox for vendor interactions — even the emails that arrive land in an inbox nobody checks.
Scanners capture everyone — students, job seekers, competitors. No verification, no intent signal. 36% of event marketers say they only got low-value leads.
Different scanner system at every show. No portability. Your data lives in someone else's export format. Smaller events and meetups? No scanner at all.
Manual CSV processing, deduplication, CRM mapping, format normalization. The "free" part of scanner data costs hours of ops work after every event.
"You spend $10,000–$30,000 on a booth, fly reps across the country, and come home with a spreadsheet of badge scans where half the rows are missing phone numbers and a third have catch-all emails that'll bounce."
"Most trade show leads are routinely ignored by sales. An exhibiting company who just collects leads and doesn't have a follow-up campaign is missing out on half the equation."
No hardware. No setup fee. No vendor coordination.
