Lead Retrieval for Exhibitors
CrowdPass provides NFC-powered lead retrieval tools for trade shows and expos. Splash is focused on event marketing, not exhibitor or sponsor engagement.
Attendee Mobile App
CrowdPass includes a branded mobile app for attendees with agenda, networking, and NFC features. Splash does not offer a dedicated attendee mobile app.
SMS & Photo Booth Engagement
CrowdPass adds attendee engagement tools like SMS messaging and interactive photo booths that go far beyond Splash's email-focused communication.
