A Captello alternative for AI conversation intelligence
Both tools record booth conversations, transcribe them, and run AI summaries. Captello adds booth games, branded activations, and an enterprise stack. Exporb hands the rep a ranked follow-up list with the exact quote behind every AI insight.
When does Exporb make sense as a Captello alternative?
Exporb is the right alternative when reps need a clear follow-up list, not just an AI transcript. Captello is excellent at booth games, branded activations, and custom hardware. After the show, both tools give you AI summaries. Where Exporb pulls ahead is what the rep does next: every contact lands in a Hot, Warm, or Fresh column with a 0-100 score, and every AI-flagged buying signal links back to the exact quote in the transcript so the rep can verify before reaching out.
Many teams use both. Captello drives booth traffic and runs activations; Exporb tells the team who to call first on Monday. Both export to Salesforce and HubSpot, so the data unifies in the CRM.

Four reasons teams choose Exporb
Each reason maps to a verified capability in the codebase.
Reps know who to call first
After the show, every contact lands in a Hot, Warm, or Fresh column based on a 0-100 score. The rep starts at the top of Hot and works down. No spreadsheet sorting, no guessing.
Every AI insight links back to what was said
When the AI flags "this prospect mentioned a Q3 deadline" or "they asked about pricing twice," the rep can click through to the exact quote in the transcript. No black box, no AI hallucinations to second-guess.
Works for sourcing teams, not just sellers
Buyer mode runs the same AI calibrated for procurement. One recording produces supplier terms, sample availability, MOQs, and a supplier score with reasoning. Captello focuses on the seller side.
Free to try, transparent pricing
Self-serve sign-up, no mandatory sales demo, and a free tier with 10 AI credits per month. Captello uses a sales-led pricing model with custom enterprise quotes.

Captello alternative FAQ
More on the main FAQ page.
Captello records booth conversations, transcribes them, and produces AI summaries — that part is solid. Teams looking elsewhere usually want one of two things: a clear ranked follow-up list (so reps know who to call first), or AI insights that link back to the exact quote in the transcript so the rep can verify before reaching out. Exporb is built around both.
Three things stand out. First, every contact gets ranked Hot, Warm, or Fresh on a 0-100 scale so reps know the call order. Second, when the AI flags a buying signal (urgency, budget concerns, competitor mentions, sample requests), the rep can click through to the exact quote in the transcript. Third, Exporb has a dedicated buyer-side mode for sourcing teams that pulls supplier terms, MOQs, and supplier scores from the same recording.
Booth gamification (spin-the-wheel, lead games, branded activations), custom event hardware integrations, 6,000+ direct integrations, and SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 + GDPR certifications today. Teams whose trade show strategy centers on booth engagement, or teams that require enterprise certifications today, should stay on Captello.
No migration needed. Sign up for Exporb, install the app, and use it at the next show. Existing Captello data stays in Captello or in the CRM you exported it to. Exporb writes contacts to its own database and exports as Salesforce-mapped CSV, HubSpot-mapped CSV, JSON, or ZIP.
Yes, and it is a strong fit. Buyer mode runs the same AI calibrated for procurement: payment terms, sample availability, MOQ, supplier score with quoted reasoning. Captello focuses on seller-side workflows and does not have a dedicated buyer companion mode.
Yes. Many teams use Captello for booth gamification and branded activations, and use Exporb in parallel to capture the conversation context (voice notes, business cards, AI analysis). Both export to the CRM, so the team unifies the data downstream.
For teams that prioritize conversation extraction depth and CRM-mapped exports, yes. Exporb runs Row-Level Security on every database table, encrypts in transit and at rest, and supports on-demand data deletion. SOC 2 audit is scoped for late 2026 with target certification 2027. Enterprise teams that require SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 today should stay on Captello, which carries both certifications today.
