Feature claims for Popl come from their own public materials; figures marked “reported” are from third-party sources because no official price is published. Corrections welcome: erik@civic-dialog.com.
Popl publishes no team pricing, its pricing page is a demo-request form. Third parties report lead-based contracts starting around $6,000/year, per-enriched-lead fees of $0.50–$2.00, and an individual Pro+ plan at $14.99/month.
Popl is a real competitor with a broad feature set, NFC card hardware, and enterprise integrations. If you want NFC-chipped physical cards or you enjoy procurement calls, it may fit.
The pricing page tells the story: Popl says "no usage restrictions" but publishes no numbers, and third parties consistently report lead-based contracts starting around $6,000 a year plus per-enriched-lead fees. hunybadgr costs $5 per user per month, unlimited scans, and the price is printed on the homepage.
A five-person team doing a season of shows: $300 a year on hunybadgr. The same team on a reported entry-level Popl contract: twenty times that before per-lead fees.
“Scan event badges, paper business cards, QR codes, and more”
