Lynqu is an AI lead capture platform for the whole year, not just the show floor.

Free to start, self-serve, 12 languages.
Business from $7.99/user/mo (annual)

Captello is an enterprise event platform: universal lead capture across hundreds of badge formats, the category's deepest gamification library, meeting management, and revenue attribution dashboards, with routing into CRMs and marketing-automation platforms. It is sales-led. No public pricing page and no self-serve signup; its own materials list a one-event capture license from $500 with unlimited users and devices, with enterprise programs custom-quoted.
Per-event license: from $500/event (their published figure)
Enterprise programs: quote-only via demo
Captello leads on the size of its game library and on universal badge coverage. Lynqu now matches the rest of the event toolkit (kiosk mode, booth games, conditional form logic, engagement scoring, calendar sync, AI meeting briefs, and event ROI reporting) plus the everyday layer: digital cards, contact hub, follow-ups, automation, and self-serve MCP AI access.

iOS / Android / Web
Captello's gamification library (spin-to-win wheels, trivia, leaderboards, and dozens of brandable games where every play captures a scored lead) is the largest booth-traffic toolkit in the category, with prize fulfillment built in. Lynqu's Booth Games add-on is smaller: six games (Card in 60, Card Match, Lead or Not, The Line-Up, Catch the Lead, and Stack the Deck) played on the booth tablet in kiosk mode or on a visitor's own phone from a QR code. Every finished game can capture the player as a lead on the campaign, so they land in the Contact Inbox, the pipeline, and the campaign's follow-ups. A live leaderboard runs on the booth TV and a prize draw picks the winner, but sending the prize is still up to you.
See how Booth Games work →Captello is organized around the event program: capture at the show, route to CRM and marketing automation, attribute revenue to the event. Digital business cards exist in its lineup as a separate add-on product. For Lynqu the card IS the platform's front door: every rep carries one every day, every scan and share feeds the same contact hub, and the built-in CRM, follow-ups, and automation run year-round. An event is one spike in a continuous motion.
Captello answers “which event paid off?” with enterprise revenue-attribution dashboards. Lynqu ships the same answer to every org on every tier: the events module compares your events side by side on leads, pipeline, revenue, win rate, meetings, cost, and ROI, with values converted to your organization's currency.
Captello licenses per event: its own materials list a one-event capture license from $500 with unlimited users and devices, and enterprise programs are quoted through sales, so a heavy show calendar multiplies the cost. Lynqu is flat per-seat pricing: Business + AI at $18.99/user/mo ($14.99 on annual billing) covers 100 AI scans per user a month across unlimited events, with a free plan and self-serve signup. No demo call required. For show-season teams that don't want a subscription at all, Lynqu also offers a one-time 30-day Event Pass covering up to 10 seats, with AI scan and enrichment credits bundled.
Both platforms ship an MCP server, so assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot can query live lead and event data. A capability most of the category lacks entirely. Captello's AI layer (enrichment waterfall, ask-anything reporting, MCP) is part of enterprise packages. Lynqu includes MCP access, AI scanning, contact enrichment, behavioral engagement scoring, and AI meeting briefs self-serve on Business + AI, with workflow automation as a fixed-price add-on, so a five-person team gets the same AI access as a five-hundred-person program.
We used Lynqu daily across live events and tested its AI scanner on physical business cards and event badges. Captello has no self-serve signup, so we evaluated it through its public website, product documentation, verified G2 reviews, and published case studies, focusing on capture coverage, gamification, meeting management, and pricing structure.
Pricing was verified from official websites where published; Captello has no public pricing page, so we cite the per-event figure its own comparison pages publish (one-event capture license from $500, unlimited users and devices) and note that enterprise programs are quote-only. Feature data is as of July 2026.

Switching is painless
Scan the QR on any digital business card (including Captello cards) and Lynqu imports the contact in seconds. Email signatures and LinkedIn profile screenshots work too. Nothing gets left behind.
Works with most digital business cards; unreadable ones fall back to a quick photo scan.
Captello is an enterprise event platform: universal badge capture, booth gamification, meeting management, and revenue attribution for large trade-show programs, sold through a sales team. Lynqu is an AI lead capture platform built around digital business cards and scanning on every Business + AI seat: leads flow into a year-round contact hub with pipeline, follow-ups, automation, and analytics, at transparent self-serve pricing.
Captello has no public pricing page. Every deal goes through a demo. Its own comparison pages state that a one-event Premium Lead Capture license starts at $500 with unlimited users and devices, and enterprise programs are custom-quoted. Costs scale per event, so a busy show season multiplies the license fees.
A 50-seat team on Lynqu Business + AI annual pays 50 × $179.88 = $8,994 per year, all-in: 100 AI badge and card scans per user a month, the year-round contact hub, built-in CRM, follow-ups, team analytics, and CRM sync. No per-event licenses and no per-lead fees. The price is the same whether you run three events or thirty.
Yes, with a smaller library. The Booth Games add-on ($29/month, included with Enterprise and with the one-time $199 Event Pass) puts six booth games on any campaign, played on a booth tablet in kiosk mode or on a visitor's own phone from a QR code. Each finished game can capture the player as a lead with the fields and consent you choose, and the lead goes straight into the campaign's pipeline and follow-ups. Captello's library is larger (dozens of brandable games, spin-to-win wheels, and trivia) and has prize fulfillment built in, so if a wide game catalogue is central to your booth strategy, Captello still earns that role.
Yes. Both Lynqu and Captello ship an MCP server, so AI assistants can query your lead and event data. The difference is access: Lynqu's MCP integration is included self-serve with Business + AI at $18.99/user/mo ($14.99 annual), while Captello's is part of enterprise packages quoted through sales.
If your strategy is a large enterprise event program with a wide catalogue of booth games, prize fulfillment, onsite meeting logistics, and a budget for per-event licensing, Captello is built for exactly that. For teams that want every seat capturing leads all year (with a contact hub, pipeline, follow-ups, automation, and AI access at a price you can see before you talk to anyone) Lynqu delivers it self-serve, in 12 languages, from $14.99/user/mo, with six booth games as an add-on.
