What Autonix does differently
Flat price, no per-lead fees
Cards Starter is $9 a month for 10 cards with the full connections list; Beyond drops the Autonix caption on the QR. Connections are never billed per lead.
A connections list, not just a saved contact
When someone taps Connect on your card, both of you get an intro email and the contact lands in your list with a note. Export it as CSV.
Instant intro email to both people
The follow-up starts itself. No app for the person scanning, no "did they save it?"
Cards next to everything else you scan
Cards, signage, packaging, event check-ins and short links in one dashboard, with the same tags and reports.

The honest read on Popl
Popl
Digital business cards and event lead capture
Pricing, in their words
Team and enterprise pricing is by quote only ("book a demo for a custom quote"); the FAQ says there are no per-seat charges. Individual Pro and Pro+ plans are sold in the app; Popl does not publish those prices on its pricing page, and third-party trackers report about $7.99/mo for Pro and $14.99/mo for Pro+.
Checked October 2026 on their pricing page. Prices change; confirm before you buy.
Where Popl wins
- Event lead capture is the core: a universal badge scanner, qualifying questions, and enrichment for conference teams.
- NFC cards and devices as physical products.
- SOC 2 Type 2 and a dedicated customer success manager on team plans.
Where it falls short
- No public team pricing; buying means a demo and a quote.
- Removing Popl branding on the individual tier requires Pro+.
- Built around the event, not the everyday scan: no signage, packaging, or check-in use.
Pick Popl when
- You run a conference booth team and need badge scanning, qualifying questions and enrichment.
- You want NFC hardware from the same vendor.
- Your buyer requires SOC 2 and a customer success manager.
Pick Autonix when
- You want a price on the page and a card in your hand today.
- You want the person scanning to connect and both of you to get an intro email, with no app.
- You want cards and your other QR codes in one account.
