mTap vs Rented Lead Scanners
Every exhibitor's phone becomes the scanner. 90% enrichment, CRM sync, drafted follow-up — and Business Pro is free during the event and for ten days after.
Rented lead-retrieval devices typically cost $300 to $700 per device per day and leave you with a CSV. mTap turns every exhibitor's phone into the scanner, enriches each lead to 90% accuracy, syncs to your CRM, and drafts follow-up — with Business Pro free for the team during the event and ten days after.

The wedge, explained
Typical lead-retrieval rentals run $300 to $700 per device per day at major US trade shows, and shows often charge extra to export the data afterward. A four-day show with five booth staff can clear $10,000 before you've followed up with anyone.
Yes. Captures queue locally on the phone and sync the moment connectivity returns. You can capture all day in a crowded hall and the records flow into the CRM as soon as the phone is back online.
Every exhibitor on your booth gets Business Pro free during the event and for ten days after — long enough to send follow-up and route warm leads to AEs before any seat decision is needed.
Rented scanners are familiar — show organizers offer them at registration, the device is plug-and-play, and there is no IT involvement. The trade-off is the price, the CSV-only output, and the fact that nothing keeps working once the device goes back. If your team only exhibits once and never follows up, a rental is fine. If you want the contacts to land in the CRM enriched and the follow-up sent, mTap is a different category.
