Overview

BoothIQ brings several event lead sources into one workflow: it captures badge scans, business cards, LinkedIn profiles, and handwritten notes. It can summarize notes and voice memos and draft personalized follow-up emails for review. Offline capture is useful at venues with unreliable connectivity; records sync when the device reconnects.

Scanning multiple badges in one photo and importing badge photos from the camera roll give reps flexible ways to collect contacts. Lead qualification and enrichment extend the workflow beyond capture, but the distinction between CSV export and CRM synchronization is central: Individual and Team export contacts, while direct HubSpot or Salesforce sync is an Enterprise feature.

Key features

Capture and follow-up

Individual includes email and LinkedIn enrichment, voice-to-text notes, AI summaries, and follow-up drafts. Team adds premium enrichment and a shared workspace for organizing event leads. Drafts require review, so BoothIQ supports outreach preparation rather than sending messages automatically.

Integrations and data controls

The integrations include Claude through MCP, HubSpot and Salesforce, Google Calendar and Gmail, Microsoft 365 Calendar and Outlook, and Slack notifications. MCP provides read-only, scoped access to meetings, contacts, events, and conversation summaries. CRM sync is reserved for Enterprise; cheaper plans use CSV export, which means teams relying on automatic CRM updates should account for the upgrade.

BoothIQ says personal data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access controls, security monitoring, and regular audits. Its AI providers are contractually barred from training on submitted data, and BoothIQ says it does not train models on customer data. After a deletion request, data is removed from active systems within 30 days and backups within 90 days, subject to stated exceptions.

Pricing

BoothIQ uses a freemium model and has no free trial. Individual costs 0.00 USD per free and offers unlimited leads, AI summaries and follow-up drafts, email and LinkedIn enrichment, voice-to-text notes, offline mode, and CSV export limited to contact information. Community support is included. For solo reps, that is a substantial capture and follow-up toolkit; the contact-only export and lack of CRM sync can constrain teams with established data workflows.

Team costs 999.00 USD per month, billed monthly. It includes unlimited seats, events, and scans, a shared workspace, event lead organization, premium enrichment, full CSV export, and the option to pause for up to three months. Priority support is included. Its unlimited usage and collaboration features suit event teams, but the monthly price is a major commitment, and CRM sync still requires Enterprise.

Enterprise has custom pricing and includes CRM sync, API access, event ROI tracking, custom reports and mappings, SSO, a dedicated account manager, setup, and training. It is the relevant tier for revenue teams that need their lead workflow connected to HubSpot or Salesforce or need the additional administration and reporting features.

Platforms

BoothIQ is available on Android and iOS, with API access included in Enterprise. That gives mobile teams capture options across the two major phone platforms; API access is not part of Individual or Team.

Who it's for

Individual fits solo reps who can work from CSV exports and want unlimited lead capture without a paid subscription. Team fits event teams that need shared organization, unlimited seats and scans, and premium enrichment, provided CSV export is sufficient. Enterprise is the fit for revenue teams that require CRM synchronization, API access, or its reporting and account-management features. BoothIQ is a weaker fit for teams that need direct CRM sync but cannot justify Enterprise.

Pros and cons

Pros: Offline capture syncs after reconnection, addressing unreliable venue connectivity.
Pros: Multiple-badge scanning and camera-roll uploads accommodate different badge-capture workflows.
Pros: Individual includes unlimited leads and AI-assisted summaries and drafts at 0.00 USD per free.
Pros: Team has unlimited seats, events, and scans, plus a pause option of up to three months.
Cons: HubSpot and Salesforce sync are limited to Enterprise; Individual and Team must export CSVs instead.
Cons: Team costs 999.00 USD per month, a substantial step up from the free Individual plan.
Cons: API access is also gated to Enterprise, so paid Team users do not get it.

Alternatives

For a broader set of event lead-capture options, browse Event Lead Capture Software. Consider LeadSuccess if its free Basic plan's five app licenses, ticket QR capture, and Excel export suit your needs, or if you need its web and Windows platforms. eventkrowd Lead Retrieval is a paid alternative with a one-time QuickLeads App activation at 350.00 USD and Leads Hub included; it may suit a team preferring that activation model.

Scan2Lead is another option, with a free trial and event-day credits that cover one employee for one trade show day and do not expire. LeadLens has a free plan capped at 25 lifetime scans and one show workspace, with a 29.00 USD per month Starter plan; it may suit teams with lower scan needs. Meetopio offers a free seat with one active event, monthly capture and draft caps, and CSV export, while its Individual plan costs 37.00 USD per month.

ExpoPlatform is a freemium alternative with a free plan for up to 30 participants. Cvent is a paid platform whose registration product can be tried for free. Grip Onsite is another paid alternative.

Verdict

BoothIQ is a strong fit for solo reps and event teams that value flexible capture, offline syncing, and AI-assisted follow-up. Individual makes the workflow accessible at no cost, and Team adds collaboration with unlimited usage. Choose it when CSV export works for your process; look elsewhere or budget for Enterprise if direct CRM sync or API access is essential.
