A Cvent LeadCapture alternative you subscribe to once, not per event
Survtapp is a Cvent LeadCapture alternative that exhibitors subscribe to once and use at any event. Reps scan QR badges on their own phones and tablets, captures queue offline and sync later, and leads export to CSV the same day. The free plan includes 100 captures a month.
How does Cvent LeadCapture licensing work?
Cvent LeadCapture is the lead retrieval arm of the Cvent event platform: exhibitors at a Cvent-run event license the scanning app, per user, per event, and the licence is arranged through the event rather than bought off a public price list — Cvent does not publish LeadCapture pricing.
For an exhibitor that means the cost repeats at every show and scales with booth staff, the licence is tied to events running on Cvent’s registration, and this year’s spend buys nothing at next quarter’s show. Teams that exhibit often end up re-budgeting lead retrieval line by line, event by event.
What does Survtapp change about that model?
Survtapp is a subscription you own. The organizer imports the attendee list as a CSV and Survtapp generates a unique QR badge per attendee, exportable as a printable ZIP; exhibitors scan those badges with the Survtapp app on the iPhones, iPads and Android devices their reps already carry. The same account works at the next event, and the one after — there is no per-event licence to arrange.
Attendee privacy holds by design: an exhibitor sees an attendee’s contact details only after physically scanning that attendee’s badge. Until the scan, there is no browsing the attendee list — the scan itself is the access grant.
What happens when the exhibition hall has no signal?
Nothing bad, which is the point. Convention halls are where connectivity dies — concrete, steel and every attendee on the same access points — so Survtapp treats offline as normal. Scans and lead qualification keep working, captures queue on the device with their original timestamps, and everything syncs the moment a connection returns.
Reps qualify at the booth: each capture takes a star score and free-text notes in the seconds after the conversation, so the follow-up list ranks itself. Export to CSV at any time — including mid-show — with scores, notes and timestamps included, and load your CRM before the follow-up window closes.

Verified on 2026-08-24
Checked 2026-08-24: Cvent does not publish LeadCapture pricing on cvent.com — licences are quoted per event. Per-licence figures circulating online come from third-party listings, not Cvent, so we do not present them as Cvent’s prices. Confirm capabilities and cost with Cvent for your event.
Survtapp’s free plan includes 100 responses a month; paid plans start from CA$29/mo. Every plan and allowance is published on the pricing page, in Canadian dollars by default.
What if you run the event rather than exhibit at it?
Then Survtapp is the lead retrieval you hand your exhibitors instead of a rental counter: import registrations from CSV, issue QR badges, and give every exhibitor scan-to-capture on their own devices with privacy-by-scan built in. Organizers manage events and exhibitors from the Survtapp console, and every captured lead draws on the organizer’s own plan allowance — one subscription covers the whole show floor, with no per-exhibitor licence to arrange.
The trade-off to weigh honestly: Cvent LeadCapture is one arm of a full event-management suite — registration, agendas, badging, session tracking. If you are buying that whole suite, its lead capture comes from inside it. Survtapp is the counter-model: lead capture, surveys, waivers and checklists that you own outright, at published prices, independent of any one event platform.

Questions, answered plainly
How is Survtapp different from Cvent LeadCapture?
Survtapp is a subscription you buy once and use at any event where the organizer issues Survtapp QR badges, on your own devices. Cvent LeadCapture is licensed per user, per event, through events running on Cvent registration, and its pricing is quote-based rather than published.
Do I pay Survtapp per event or per booth rep?
Neither. Plans are flat monthly subscriptions with a device allowance; the same account covers your whole event calendar. The free plan includes 100 captures a month.
Can I use Survtapp at an event run on Cvent?
Survtapp scans the QR badges that Survtapp issues, so it works wherever the organizer runs badges through Survtapp — or wherever you can capture leads directly on a form at your booth. It does not scan another provider’s proprietary badges.
Does lead capture work with no venue Wi-Fi?
Yes. Scans and qualification keep working offline; captures queue on the device with their original timestamps and sync automatically when a connection returns.
How fast can I get leads into my CRM?
Same day — export to CSV at any point, including mid-show, with star scores, notes and capture timestamps included, and import into any CRM that accepts CSV.
How does Survtapp protect attendee privacy?
By scan. An exhibitor sees an attendee’s contact details only after scanning that attendee’s badge — there is no browsing or exporting the full attendee list, and each badge encodes only a token, not personal details.
What does the event organizer have to do?
Import the attendee list as a CSV, generate QR badges (exportable as a printable ZIP), and add exhibitors from the Survtapp console. Each exhibitor then captures into their own scoped workspace.
