Teams that
made the switch
What changes when every lead is clean on day one.
Our sales team captured over 300 leads at our annual trade show. Every contact was synced and standardized automatically, which meant zero cleanup afterward.
Best solution for product marketing. Covve saves complete contact details, including mobile number, email ID, name and designation, so I can maintain business contacts that are useful for business promotion.
The biggest impact has been speed. Our team can start outreach the same day as the event, while competitors are still entering data.
Quick scanning, easy to share the contacts, and good reading of cards. Covve lets me keep records of everyone I meet without holding on to physical visiting cards.
We finished a large conference with over 100 leads already captured, tagged, and synced. No manual corrections, no spreadsheets, everything was ready for follow-up the same day!
Event follow-up used to be chaotic. With Covve Scan, all leads are tagged consistently and routed correctly, so no opportunity slips through the cracks.
Looking for a Popl alternative?
Covve is the Popl alternative for teams that want every card and badge in their CRM this week, not next quarter.
You get posted pricing, a 14-day free trial and a scanner that reads any card or badge you are handed. Your own digital business card comes built in, so the basics are covered, but Covve is much more than a digital business card. No quote to chase and no onboarding plan to sit through.
Switching from Popl? Your questions
Anything else? Ask us and a person will answer.
Yes. Covve gives you what most teams buy Popl for, every card and badge captured accurately and sent to your CRM, without the demo-and-quote cycle. You see the price per seat, start a 14-day free trial today and scan in 60+ languages at 96% accuracy.
Yes, in an afternoon: your existing contacts stay where they already live, in your CRM or a spreadsheet. Connect Covve to the same CRM once, start scanning, and every new lead lands next to the old ones. Export from Covve to Excel, CSV, Outlook or Google Contacts any time.
No: download Covve, choose Essential or Pro and your 14-day free trial starts straight away, with every price published on covve.com/pricing. Prefer a walkthrough? Book a demo and someone from our team will show you around, but you never need one to begin.
The same day: start a Pro trial, invite your team to the Team workspace and connect your CRM once. Each person scans a first card minutes after downloading the app, and the web-based Covve Portal shows every lead in real time. Enterprise adds SSO and a guided rollout for large organizations.
Yes. Your own digital business card comes included, so you can share your details by QR code, email signature or NFC card at every event. Covve is much more than a digital business card, though: it captures the cards and badges of everyone you meet and sends every lead to your CRM.
Yes. Covve Pro scans event badges as well as business cards and QR codes, at any event or trade show, online or offline. Every lead goes into one Team workspace and on to your CRM, with Custom Fields to qualify it on the floor.
Yes: the 14-day free trial costs nothing to cancel, and we let you know before it ends. After that you pay per seat each year, and you can stop renewing whenever you like. Monthly plans skip the trial and start right away. No quote to negotiate and no onboarding contract to unwind.
Bring 20 business cards. See which scanner gets them right.
Your 14-day free trial starts now. No quote, no demo, no waiting.
