ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cvent LeadCapture holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cvent LeadCapture has 369 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of SWAP by Maritz's written reviews are positive against 63% of Cvent LeadCapture's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
