Cheap trade show lead capture
The cheapest way to capture trade show leads
Renting a badge scanner from the event organizer typically runs $300–$900 per show, per device — and you hand it back when the show ends. LeadPix turns the phone you already own into an AI lead scanner: snap a badge, get an enriched contact, follow up in one tap. Start free, and pay $29/mo only when you need unlimited scans.

It pays for itself on the first lead
A single trade-show lead can be worth thousands. At $29/mo, LeadPix costs less than one rented scanner for one show — and you can use it at every show all year.
Free to try at your next show
The free plan includes 25 scans a month. Test it at your next event with zero commitment, then upgrade in one tap right from the booth if you need more.
No hardware, no returns, no deposits
Nothing to pick up at the service desk, nothing to return, nothing to lose. Every rep just uses their own phone.
The bottom line
One rented scanner for one show can cost more than a full year of LeadPix Pro ($199/yr). Start free, scan at every show, and keep your leads.
Frequently asked questions
Is a phone app really as good as a rented scanner?
For most exhibitors, better. Rented scanners read the badge barcode and hand you a CSV later. LeadPix reads the badge or business card with AI on the spot, enriches it with the company's phone, website, and rating, lets you add notes and a rating, and drafts the follow-up — no waiting for a data dump.
How much does LeadPix cost?
Free for 25 scans a month. Pro is $29/mo (or $199/yr) for unlimited scans and shows. Team is $99/mo for multi-seat access — up to 10 logins sharing one lead list. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial.
What does it capture from a badge?
Name, company, title, city and more from what's printed on the badge or card, then it enriches the company with Google data. You can quick-edit any field on the spot.
Do I need wifi at the show?
You don't need a signal to capture. Snap photos of badges with your phone's camera all day — no connection required — then bulk-upload the whole batch to LeadPix when you're back on wifi, and it processes them all at once. Scanning live at the booth needs a connection (there is no in-app offline queue), and cellular works fine for that too.
