Comparison
Trade Show PRO vs iCapture
An honest comparison to help you choose the right tool for your team.
Overview
iCapture is Cvent's lead-capture app, built primarily around badge scanning for organized conferences, and it also supports business-card capture, manual entry, offline capture with sync, and CRM integration. Trade Show PRO takes a different approach: purpose-built for events where business cards are the primary format, with booth staff management, gamification, and side-event tracking built in alongside AI-powered lead capture. If you run badge-based registration and need session tracking, iCapture fits well. If you need to manage the full booth experience — people, goals, and leads — Trade Show PRO covers more ground.
