Three ways to get event contacts from the conversation to your follow-up. Here is what each one does, taken from each company's own website, so you can pick the one that fits how your team works events.
We make Tag My Link, so read this knowing that. Every Popl and Blinq feature on this page comes from their own public pages, checked on 11 November 2026, with links at the bottom.
Three tools that solve the same problem in different ways. Pick by how your team meets people at events.
Branded profiles shared by NFC tap or QR scan, a contact form the person you meet fills in, AI scanning of paper business cards, and one team dashboard. No apps to install. We set up the CRM connection for you. Free plan, prices published.
An in-person go-to-market platform built around a universal badge scanner, AI contact enrichment, event campaigns and ROI reporting, with native CRM and marketing automation integrations. Pricing is quoted in a meeting.
A digital business card app that also sells event lead capture: a universal scanner, contact enrichment, AI Notetaker and native CRM sync. Event lead capture is usage based, billed per lead captured.
We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. Here is when each one wins.

Neither is a weak product, and if your events look like theirs, you should pick one of them.
Popl is built for teams that exhibit. Its universal badge scanner works at any event without the organizer's badge kit, leads are enriched and synced to the CRM with custom field mapping and de-duplication, and Event Flows change the qualifying questions based on each answer at the booth. It also books meetings from the show floor and ties every lead back to its event for ROI reporting.
Blinq covers both sides of the card. Its digital business cards share through QR, NFC, Apple and Google Wallet, a watch or a widget, with admin-controlled email signatures for the whole team. For events, it adds a universal scanner, enrichment that never overwrites your CRM data, AI Notetaker for conversation notes, and an option to review leads before they sync.
Tag My Link started when our founder was at a networking event, juggling a stack of paper business cards: some already lost, others from people he didn't remember anymore. So we built the simplest path from a conversation to your follow-up: a branded profile your team shares with a tap or a scan, a short form for the person you meet, AI that reads the paper cards you still get handed, and one dashboard where managers can see every contact the team collected.
No apps to install, no training required, and the CRM connection set up for you.
Total game-changer. Made over 30 connections in a single day, all saved instantly. Saved hours of work.
Yes, for teams whose events are mostly conversations: networking events, client meetings and smaller shows where a tap or a QR scan starts the exchange. If your team exhibits at large trade shows and needs to scan conference badges and enrich every lead, Popl is built for that.
Yes. Both give your team branded digital profiles shared by QR or NFC, a way for the person you meet to share their details back, and a team dashboard. Tag My Link adds the CRM connection set up for you and needs no app on your team's phones. Blinq adds badge scanning, enrichment and AI notes, with event lead capture billed per lead captured.
No, with any of the three. A Tag My Link profile opens in any browser from an NFC tap or a QR scan, and the person you meet can save your contact in one click or share their own details through a short form.
Not on our site today. Tag My Link captures contacts through the contact form on your profile and through AI scanning of paper business cards. If badge scanning is the main way your team captures leads, look at Popl or Blinq.
The CRM you already use, such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive or Zoho. On Sales Pro we set up the connection for you through Zapier, Make or a custom integration, and new contacts reach your CRM as soon as they are captured. On every plan you can export your contacts as CSV.
Yes. The free plan needs no credit card, Sales Pro comes with a 15-day free trial, and larger organizations can run a pilot with one team or department before a wider rollout.
Walk through the capture workflow with your team, or start exploring the platform yourself.
