Loopedn vs renting the show's badge scanner
Short answer: Rent the show's scanner if the show requires it or you want the organizer's attendee record for every scan. Use Loopedn for the follow-up either way: scan with a QR code at the booth, or upload the scanner's CSV, and every lead gets a personal email the same day, routed to the right rep.

Why we made this. Comparison pages are marketing, including this one. Source: What exhibitor kits commonly describe. Rental prices and export formats are set by each show, so check yours; this page makes no claim about a particular organizer. Vendors change things, so check the current page before you decide.

Pick Loopedn
Pick Loopedn when you want the attendee to hear from you before they reach the next booth, and the lead to land with the right rep. If the show requires its scanner, use both: scan their way, upload the CSV, and let Loopedn write the follow-ups.
Pick Renting the show's badge scanner
Rent the scanner when the show requires it, or when the organizer's attendee record (title, company, registration answers) is worth having for every badge you scan.
The bottom line
The show's scanner collects names. Loopedn starts conversations. Use the scanner if you must, and let Loopedn do the follow-up the same day.
Loopedn is free to start. Pro is $29 per person per month, or $290 per year.
Common questions
What does a badge scanner rental cost?
It is set by each show and listed in the exhibitor kit, usually per device. We make no claim about a particular organizer; check yours.
When do the leads arrive from a rented scanner?
Commonly as an export after the show, sometimes daily. By then the attendee has visited fifty other booths. Loopedn's CSV upload turns that export into personal follow-ups the same day.
Can I use Loopedn and the show's scanner together?
Yes. Scan badges the show's way, export the CSV, upload it to Loopedn. It matches the columns, drafts a follow-up per lead, and holds them for you to review and send.
Does the attendee have to do anything with Loopedn?
With a QR code, they scan and fill in a short form, so they typed their own email and chose what they want. With a badge scan or CSV, the rep does the capturing and the attendee just gets the email.
