iCapture vs. Captello
Which event lead capture tool is better for your booth workflow?
iCapture vs. Captello at a glance
Both tools help teams capture leads at events, but they optimize for different moments of the workflow.
iCapture tends to win when you want scanning to be fast, consistent, and easy to adopt across a sales team.
Captello tends to win when you want to combine lead capture with booth engagement experiences that can increase participation and qualification.
Understanding the challenges in event lead capture
Most event teams don't struggle to collect contacts - they struggle to convert those contacts into pipeline.
The common failure modes are predictable:
Reps capture leads but lose conversation context (intent, timeline, next steps). Follow-up happens late and sounds generic (“great meeting you at the show”). Data quality issues (bad emails, duplicates, missing fields) slow routing and sequencing. Teams can’t clearly attribute pipeline back to the event.
Quick comparison
| Aspect | iCapture | Captello |
|---|---|---|
| Primary strength | Fast scanning and simple rep workflow. | Engagement + gamification to drive booth participation. |
| Best fit | High-volume scanning with minimal setup and training. | Teams that can run activations and want richer engagement signals. |
| Typical gap | Needs a strong post-event process to preserve context and prove ROI. | More complexity; needs alignment so engagement maps to sales outcomes. |

The Event ROI Equation

Conclusion: Pick the best lead capture tool
If your priority is fast and consistent capture, iCapture is a solid operational choice. If your priority is booth engagement, Captello offers a strong library of activations.

EasyRem is for everyone - attendees, exhibitors, and sales teams alike - who wants to turn every event handshake into a lasting business relationship.
