The pricing, plainly

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.
