Comparison
Met vs ScanBizCards
These two get found by the same search and bought by different people. ScanBizCards is a US-based, sales-team scanner built to feed leads into a CRM. Met is for the individual who wants to capture someone, remember the conversation, and follow up personally, without a CRM in the middle.
Pick ScanBizCards if you are a sales team scanning badges at events and routing leads into Salesforce or HubSpot, with human transcription for the hard cards. Pick Met if you are one person who wants the capture, the context, and the follow-up to all live in one app, with no CRM to configure and your contacts in your own iCloud. Different buyers, both honest choices.

Feeding a pipeline is not following up
ScanBizCards is honest about what it is: the front door of a sales pipeline. It scans cards and badges fast, uses human transcription to get the hard ones right, and pushes the result into a CRM where, in theory, a sequence takes over. For a team with a CRM and an operations person to run it, that is exactly the right shape.
For an individual, the CRM is the catch. Routing a contact into Salesforce is not following up. It is filing. The follow-up still has to be written and sent by a person, and the more steps between the handshake and that message, the less often it happens. Met collapses the distance: capture the person and the context, and the draft is right there, with a reminder so it goes out inside the window. No pipeline to administer, no second tool, no CRM seat. The follow-up is the product, not a downstream someone-else's-problem.
The follow-up, without the CRM.
The free follow-up generator writes the message a pipeline assumes you will get around to. Name, place, one detail, done. No account, nothing stored.

Said plainly: if you run a sales team, ScanBizCards is likely the better tool and Met is not built for you. It scans badges at volume, its human transcription catches what OCR misses on a busy card, and its CRM integrations are deep and proven. Its team pricing is public and reasonable, and being US-based answers a question some buyers have about other scanners.
Met is for the other buyer entirely: the consultant, recruiter, founder, or advisor who meets people personally and follows up personally, and who does not want to run a CRM to do it. If your contacts belong in a shared pipeline, ScanBizCards. If they belong to you, Met.
Questions
Is Met a ScanBizCards alternative?
For an individual, yes. ScanBizCards is built for sales teams: it scans cards and badges and routes them into a CRM like Salesforce, where the follow-up is someone else's job to configure. Met is for one person who wants the capture, the context, and the follow-up handled in the app, without standing up and administering a CRM.
Does ScanBizCards do the follow-up, or just the scan?
ScanBizCards captures and routes. The follow-up happens downstream, in whatever CRM you send the contact to, if it happens at all. Met does the follow-up itself: it drafts the message from the captured context and reminds you to send it. No CRM in between.
Which is better for conference badge scanning?
ScanBizCards is purpose-built for sales teams scanning badges at volume and pushing leads into a CRM, with human transcription for hard cards. If that is your job, it is the right tool. Met captures cards, badges, and QR codes for an individual who then wants to follow up personally, not feed a pipeline.
