Can I use Scaanme in Arabic at a Saudi or UAE trade show?

Yes. The card, editor, and CRM are fully bilingual, and visitors see the language they prefer with one tap.

Popl Alternative for MENA Teams and Events

Popl leads with event lead capture and usage-based pricing. Scaanme leads with clear prices, Arabic, and a card your business runs on all year.

Popl is a serious player for US event teams, with badge scanning and per-lead pricing. Two honest issues for buyers here: pricing page was unreachable on our last check, english-first, events focus, and its paid tiers had no published prices when we last checked (2026-07-07). Scaanme publishes every price: Lite is free forever, Pro is 8$/month, and store plans start at 10$/month, all with a 14-day money-back guarantee. You get bilingual Arabic and English cards, Apple and Google Wallet passes, free NFC linking for hardware you already own, lead capture into a built-in CRM, and WhatsApp-native selling that a US events platform simply does not offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Scaanme do badge scanning like Popl?

No. Popl's universal badge scanner is its specialty for big US expos. Scaanme captures leads through taps, scans, forms, and wallet passes into its built-in CRM, which covers most MENA events well.

What does a 5-person team actually cost on Scaanme?

Cards are per-plan, not per-seat: each member can run the free Lite plan, and paid features start at 8$/month per card. Store plans are flat from 10$/month. No usage-based surprises.

Why could you not show Popl's prices in the table?

Because Popl did not publish them: on our 2026-07-07 check the pricing page was unreachable and the Pro and Pro+ tiers carried no public dollar figures. We only print what we can verify.
