How Boop Compares
Boop vs Popl
Choose Boop if:
- You want to capture next steps while the lead is still at your booth, not chase them with follow-up emails days later
- You need something that works on crowded conference WiFi (SMS uses cell networks, not internet)
- You want your team up and running in minutes with no training required
Popl is great for:
- Universal badge scanning across events
- Easy to use digital business card experience
- Sharing multiple links at once
Boop vs Blinq
Choose Boop if:
- You need native next step capture (meetings, resources, calls), not just contact info
- You want SMS-based engagement that works without internet
Blinq is great for:
- Digital business card exchange
- QR/NFC contact sharing
- CRM sync (HubSpot, Salesforce)
Boop vs Dot
Choose Boop if:
- You're running enterprise B2B events
- You need CRM integration and next step capture
Dot is designed for:
- Personal branding and contact sharing
- Simple NFC digital business cards
- Basic analytics
Why SMS-based capture matters
SMS isn't just convenient — it's the most effective channel for event engagement
Works Offline
Venue internet is notoriously unreliable, but SMS works on cell networks, not WiFi.
Stays Engaged
SMS conversations are more engaging than static form pages that attendees abandon.
Instant Commitment
Follow-up emails get lost in inboxes, but next steps get confirmed before they walk away.
