Exporb vs Lensmor — before the show or during it?

They solve opposite ends of the trade show funnel. Lensmor is a pre-event intelligence engine: it searches 160,000+ tracked events, unlocks verified decision-maker contacts, and can run an autonomous AI Agent that emails and books meetings before you ever arrive. Exporb starts where Lensmor stops — at the actual booth conversation. It records, transcribes, and analyzes what a prospect said, then scores the lead with a quote you can verify. Lensmor gets you in the room; Exporb captures what happens once you're in it.

No. Lensmor has no audio recording, transcription, or in-person capture feature in its public product pages — it is built around event search, contact unlocking, and automated outreach (email, LinkedIn, calendar booking). If your team needs to document what was actually said during a booth meeting, Lensmor does not do that; Exporb does.

Hard to compare directly — the pricing models are different shapes. Lensmor runs on credits: 2,000 free signup credits, then Basic and Growth plans with 35,000 and 70,000 credits/month respectively, where each action has a cost (2,000 credits per event unlock, 15 credits per email reveal, 50 credits per reverse company lookup). Exporb is a flat monthly subscription: Free, then $9/mo Solo, $59/mo Growth (5 seats), or $99/mo Scale (10 seats), with a Lifetime option from $139 one-time. If your team burns through credits fast on outreach, Lensmor's model can get expensive quickly; Exporb's cost is predictable regardless of how many leads you capture.

Yes, and it's arguably the strongest combination. Use Lensmor before the show to find the right exhibitors, unlock verified contacts, and book meetings on the calendar. Use Exporb at the booth to record and transcribe those meetings, then export the enriched, quote-verified leads to Salesforce or HubSpot for follow-up. Neither tool tries to do the other's job.

No. Lensmor's AI Agent scouts exhibitor intelligence, scores targets, and executes outreach (emails, follow-ups, meeting scheduling) with minimal human involvement — a genuinely different capability aimed at pre-event pipeline building. Exporb's AI works on the other side of the funnel: analyzing conversations that already happened, not initiating ones that haven't.

Both take data handling seriously but for different data types. Lensmor publishes detailed privacy documentation: OSINT from public sources only, AES-256 encryption at rest, GDPR/CAN-SPAM compliance, and a stated policy of never selling enriched contact data. Exporb's data is first-party — captured directly from conversations the user has consent to record — with Row-Level Security on every table and PII-sanitized logs, and is scoping a SOC 2 audit for late 2026. Neither publishes a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certificate today.

If your bottleneck is knowing who to talk to and getting meetings on the calendar before the show, Lensmor's free tier (2,000 credits, no card required) is worth trying. If your bottleneck is turning booth conversations into leads you can actually follow up on accurately, Exporb's free tier does that instead — and paid plans come with a 14-day trial. Teams running only 2-3 shows a year often find one tool covers the gap; teams running events monthly tend to want both.
