If you want hardware-free lead capture and follow-up that works at any in-person moment, yes. Cvent LeadCapture is an enterprise event lead-retrieval product for scanning attendee badges at managed events; Leadpocket captures each lead with a QR code anyone can scan in their browser and follows up from a pipeline you set up in minutes.
Leadpocket is QR-first and hardware-free: the person you meet scans your code, fills in a short form in their browser, and becomes a tracked lead with an AI-drafted follow-up.

No — Leadpocket does not scan event badges, and that's a real strength of Cvent LeadCapture. Leadpocket captures leads a different way: a QR code anyone scans in their browser, with no badges or scanners involved. So they work in different ways and can sit side by side.
No. Leadpocket uses a QR code you can show on your phone, print on a sign, or add to a badge — there are no attendee badges to issue and no scanners to set up. The person you meet scans it and types a few answers in their browser.
No. They scan your QR code and fill in a short form in their browser — no app and no account on their side. The result is a captured lead that lands in your pipeline.
A few minutes. Create a free account, build a short intake form with the questions you care about, and start your QR code — and you can reuse the same setup at any event or meeting, not just one managed show.
Every account starts with a free 3-day Pro trial, no credit card required. After that you can pick a plan or keep your data and decide later.
Yes. Some teams keep Cvent LeadCapture for badge retrieval at the large events they run while using Leadpocket for hardware-free capture and follow-up — at smaller events, meetings, walk-ups, or anywhere they meet people. They solve different parts of the job and can run side by side.
