Exporb vs iCapture

Both tools help you capture trade show leads, but the approach is fundamentally different. iCapture relies on event badge scanning infrastructure. Exporb takes an AI-first approach that works at any event, anywhere — with business card OCR, voice recording, and intelligent lead scoring built in.

The Key Differences

Three reasons teams are switching from iCapture to Exporb

AI-Powered Capture vs Form-Based

Exporb uses AI to automatically extract contact info from business cards, transcribe voice recordings, and score leads. iCapture relies on badge scanning and manual form entry.

Works at ANY Event vs Badge-Dependent

Exporb works at trade shows, conferences, networking events, and even chance encounters — no event infrastructure required. iCapture needs compatible badge scanning systems.

Voice + Photo + Card vs Badge Scan Only

Capture leads your way — snap a business card, record a conversation, take a selfie with a contact. iCapture is primarily limited to scanning event badges.

Where Exporb Wins

Real scenarios where Exporb's AI-first approach makes the difference

Events Without Badge Systems

Not every trade show has badge scanning infrastructure. At smaller conferences, networking events, and international expos, you need a tool that doesn't depend on event-provided technology. Exporb's business card OCR and voice capture work everywhere.

International Trade Shows

When you're meeting prospects who speak different languages and carry business cards in non-Latin scripts, you need multi-language AI. Exporb's OCR and transcription handle multiple languages — no per-event setup required.

Post-Event Follow-Up

Capturing a lead is only half the battle. Exporb's AI analyzes your conversation notes, scores each lead by buying intent, and helps you prioritize follow-ups. You get actionable intelligence, not just a list of names.

Where iCapture Might Fit

Being fair — iCapture does have a place for certain workflows

If your team exclusively attends large trade shows that provide badge scanning infrastructure, and your entire lead capture workflow is built around scanning attendee badges at your booth, iCapture's deep integration with event badge systems can be a reliable choice.

iCapture has established relationships with major event organizers and their badge scanning integration is mature. For teams that only need badge-to-CRM data transfer and don't require AI analysis, voice capture, or business card scanning, it may be sufficient.

However, most teams attend a mix of events — some with badge systems, some without. If that describes your situation, Exporb's flexibility and AI capabilities will serve you better across all your events.
