BagEvent vs LeadLens

BagEvent provides event websites, registration, ticketing and payments, on-site check-in and badges, and reports for conferences, corporate events, and trade shows. It runs on the web, Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Staff check-in apps can scan an event roster downloaded in advance and sync queued check-ins when the connection returns. Ticket sales carry a 0% platform fee and settle to the organizer’s own Stripe or PayPal account. Pro costs $99/month billed annually or $129/month billed monthly, and includes five events per month, up to 1,000 attendees per event, five team members, and one custom domain. Business costs $479/month billed annually or $599/month billed monthly, with an API and webhooks. The API reads attendee and order information but cannot create registrations or change orders; the service has no built-in one-click CRM connectors. A 14-day Pro trial requires no credit card, though paid-ticket use is limited to 50 registrations, $10 per order, and $500 total. Organizer and attendee data is hosted on Google Cloud Platform in Singapore. BagEvent says it holds no security certification.

LeadLens captures trade show leads by scanning printed or handwritten badges and enriching the contact details. Its OCR reads names, titles, and companies and assigns confidence scores to individual fields. The service can derive email addresses from company conventions, find LinkedIn profiles, and check email domains against MX records. Leads can also come from imported email signatures or CSV files, and exports include CSV, XLSX, and vCard. Scans captured offline wait on the device and sync when connectivity returns. LeadLens works in a phone browser and as an installable PWA; paid plans also list a native iOS app. The free plan provides 25 lifetime scans, one show workspace, and basic enrichment. Paid plans start at $29/mo, with options for solo reps, event marketers, and teams sharing booth capture. The maker says it does not sell scan data and removes badge images after extraction. It says its SOC 2 audit is not complete, and account deletion requests result in data removal within seven days.
