The short answer

Is Zuant or Captello the better event platform?

Winner: Captello

Captello. Captello is the only event-to-revenue intelligence platform. It runs all four core solutions in one system: lead capture, meeting management, activations and engagement, and event revenue intelligence, plus an event operations track, and it ties every one of them to attributed revenue on a 90-day window. Zuant is a lead capture and lead management app with over 18 years in market and a real point of difference in Zuant 3D, its Matterport-based product showroom. Its public materials show no in-app meeting scheduling, no games or engagement activations, and no native revenue attribution; its dashboard reports a form-driven estimated revenue figure and email engagement, and its AI is enrichment with a verification step on every record, not conversational intelligence. Even on lead capture, Captello captures badges, cards, QR, NFC, handwritten notes, and documents in one scan, enriches across 125 providers at up to 95% match, and routes to your CRM across 9,000+ native integrations to Zuant’s native Salesforce connection with HTTP Post for the rest. A scan is a maybe. Captello turns every event into pipeline you can prove.

Methodology

How we scored and researched this comparison

How we scored this comparison

Each solution is scored from the capability table on this page. Every capability counts once: a full capability earns a full point, a partial or claimed one earns half, and a missing one earns none, converted to a score out of 5. Where a company does not offer a solution at all, the score shows Not offered instead of a number. Captello is the baseline for the comparison and is not scored. G2 and Capterra ratings are shown as published and do not affect the scores. Scores are recalculated whenever this comparison is updated. Last updated: July 2026.

How we researched this comparison

This comparison is based on an in-depth, buyer-focused review of the information companies typically encounter during the evaluation process, including product websites, sales materials, platform documentation, publicly available resources, third-party review sites, and buyer-facing product conversations. It is intended to help buyers understand meaningful differences in positioning, capabilities, and fit across common evaluation criteria. Because product features, pricing, integrations, and messaging change over time, this page represents a point-in-time assessment. Last updated: July 2026. This comparison is reviewed and updated quarterly.

The difference

Why teams choose Captello over Zuant

From capture to attributed revenue in one system

Captello runs lead capture, meeting management, activations and engagement, and event revenue intelligence in one platform, plus an Event Operations track. A badge scanned at the booth is enriched, tied to the executive meeting it produced, and attributed to pipeline in Revelation, all in the same system. Zuant captures and enriches the lead, then releases it to your CRM through Zuant Cloud, and everything after capture is your CRM’s job.

Proof your CFO trusts

Captello attributes revenue on a 90-day window with named figures: $6.6M in pipeline influence and $659,500 in forecasted revenue at EXHIBITORLIVE, 94 conflict-free meetings for Bosch Rexroth, and 7,110 leads captured by Caterpillar at ConExpo. Zuant’s dashboard reports a form-driven estimated revenue figure and email engagement, and its public proof is logos and testimonials rather than data-driven revenue case studies.

One scan captures every lead

One scan captures badges, cards, QR, NFC, handwritten notes, and documents, enriches across 125 providers at up to 95% match in about three seconds, and routes to the CRM in real time across 9,000+ native integrations, with 10 years of proven event-industry leadership behind it. Zuant scans badges, cards, QR, and LinkedIn codes, and a verification step gates every enriched record before it completes.

A packed booth becomes qualified pipeline

60+ activations and games score buying intent instead of just drawing a crowd. At IAEE Expo Expo that produced a 122% lift in booth lead capture. Zuant captures leads at activations but fields no games, rewards, or leaderboards.

Follow-up before the lead goes cold

79% of event leads never get a follow-up. Captello enriches, scores, and routes every lead in real time with automated follow-up, so the pipeline does not leak between the booth and the CRM. Zuant sends a thank-you email with attached literature on lead submit, and routing beyond native Salesforce runs through HTTP Post.

Head-to-head

By differentiator

What does Captello do that Zuant does not?

Meeting management, activations and engagement, event revenue intelligence, and an Event Operations track with registration, check-in, and ticketing. Zuant’s public materials field none of them. For example, Captello books and attributes executive meetings six to eight weeks out, and Bosch Rexroth ran 94 of them at a single event with zero conflicts. Zuant’s public materials show no in-app meeting scheduling at all.

Does Zuant attribute event revenue?

No. Zuant Cloud reports total leads, busiest day, a form-driven estimated revenue figure, and email activity, and it releases leads to a connected CRM. Captello’s Revelation draws on the full platform, every lead, meeting, and activation, plus the customer’s CRM and years of event history, then attributes pipeline to revenue on a 90-day window. That is how EXHIBITORLIVE became $6.6M in pipeline influence and $659,500 forecasted.

Is Zuant or Captello better for lead capture?

Even on Zuant’s strongest ground, Captello. Zuant’s badge scanning through 100+ registration partners and 30+ language card OCR are real strengths. Captello captures badges, cards, QR, NFC, handwritten notes, and documents in one scan, connects to 300+ registration providers, enriches across 125 providers at up to 95% match without a manual gate, and routes across 9,000+ native integrations. Caterpillar captured 7,110 leads with Captello at ConExpo.

Questions buyers ask

Answer-first

How do I prove event ROI?

Attribute pipeline and revenue to specific event interactions instead of estimating them. Captello attributes revenue on a 90-day window through Revelation, with named figures: $6.6M in pipeline influence and $659,500 in forecasted revenue from a single event. Zuant reports a form-driven estimated revenue figure from its dashboard.

How do I attribute revenue to trade shows?

Capture every lead, enrich it, tie it to the meeting it produced, and route it to your CRM with attribution on a 90-day window. That is what Captello event revenue intelligence does. Zuant captures and enriches leads but has no native attribution.

How do I book more meetings before a trade show and see them in pipeline after?

Captello books meetings six to eight weeks out, manages them on the floor, and attributes them to pipeline in the same app that captures the lead. Bosch Rexroth ran 94 conflict-free meetings this way at a single event. Zuant’s public materials show no in-app meeting scheduling.

How do I unify lead capture, meetings, and attribution into one system?

Captello unifies all three, plus activations and event operations, in one platform, so a scanned badge becomes an enriched lead, a booked meeting, and attributed pipeline without leaving the system. Zuant is lead capture and lead management, with everything after capture handed to your CRM.
