FAQ

Questions, answered.

How the one-flat-fee model works, what's free for vendors and attendees, and how we handle your data.

PRICING & BILLING

One flat fee. Everyone else is free.

Who pays for 121Notes?

The event coordinator pays a single activation fee to open their event. The price band is set by how many vendors or booths the event has. Most coordinators bake this into their booth fees.

Do vendors or attendees ever pay?

Never. Vendors and attendees sign up for free. Vendors get the full app — lead capture, complete contact details, and notes — as a perk of being at the event.

Are there per-lead charges?

No. There are no per-lead charges and no contact paywall. Once the coordinator activates the event, vendors see full lead details with no extra cost.

How is the price determined?

By the number of vendors at the event. Smaller shows pay less; larger shows pay more. Pick the band that fits your vendor count — current prices are on the pricing page.

What if my event is larger than the standard bands?

For events above our standard bands, reach out for an Enterprise quote at support@121notes.com. We'll size the activation fee to your show.

How do I pay, and what shows on my statement?

Activation fees are processed by Stripe in U.S. dollars and appear on your statement as 121NOTES.COM. 121Notes is a product of Pure Sight & Sound, Inc.

Can I get a refund?

Activation is delivered digitally and takes effect immediately, so fees are generally non-refundable once your event is activated. Exceptions include technical errors (your event wasn't activated despite being charged), duplicate charges, unauthorized charges, or a charge amount that doesn't match what you selected at checkout. Email support@121notes.com within 14 days; we aim to resolve billing questions within 2 business days. Full details are in our Refund Policy.

FOR ORGANIZERS

Run the show, see everything.

How do I activate my event?

Create your event, add your vendors, then pay the one-time activation fee for the band that matches your vendor count. Your event opens as soon as payment completes.

Can I pass the cost on to my vendors?

Most coordinators bake the activation fee into their existing booth fees. Spread across the booths, it's a small line item — and every vendor gets full lead capture as part of their package.

What do I get as the organizer?

Live floor analytics: booth traffic by hour, per-vendor engagement rankings, attendee-to-vendor interaction counts, sponsor ROI reporting, and post-event exports — plus attendee registration and check-in tools.

Can I see my vendors' leads?

No. Vendor lead contact details are private to each vendor organization. As the organizer you see aggregate engagement analytics — never vendor lead lists. Vendors trust the platform because their pipeline stays theirs.

FOR VENDORS

Free for every exhibitor.

What does 121Notes cost a vendor?

Nothing. If your event runs on 121Notes, you get the full app free: lead capture, complete contact details, conversation notes, booth analytics, and CSV export.

Do I need badge-scanner hardware?

No. There are no badge scanners to rent and no hardware to return — your team scans attendee QR badges with the phones already in their pockets.

Who can see my conversation notes?

Your notes are yours. Staff members see only their own notes; your organization's admin can see the team's notes. Event organizers and attendees never see vendor notes.

Can I export my leads?

Yes. Export your leads and notes to CSV in one click and load them straight into your CRM.

FOR ATTENDEES

One QR code, zero cost.

Does 121Notes cost attendees anything?

No. Attendees use 121Notes completely free.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Your digital badge is a QR code that works right in your phone's browser — nothing to download.

What do vendors see when they scan my badge?

The contact details you agreed to share when you registered for the event. Only vendors who actually scan your badge at their booth receive your details — there's no event-wide attendee list handed to every vendor.

Are my notes private?

Yes. Notes you keep on vendors you visited are visible only to you — never to vendors, organizers, or other attendees.

PRIVACY & DATA

Built privacy-first.

Does the QR badge contain my personal information?

No. The QR code is an identity token tied to the event — it contains no raw personal information. Contact details are only released through the platform when a vendor scans you at the event.

Who is behind 121Notes?

121Notes is a product of Pure Sight & Sound, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation. Support is at support@121notes.com.
