Business card scanning for Zoho CRM has evolved since this article was originally written, and it's worth checking which option you actually need before assuming a specific named app still exists under its old name.
Current ways to scan a business card into Zoho CRM
- Built into the Zoho CRM mobile app. The Zoho CRM app for Android and iOS now includes native business card scanning, converting a scanned card directly into a Contact and merging duplicates automatically. This works within the mobile app itself, without needing a separate app.
- Zoho Card Scanner. A standalone Zoho app, available for Android and iPhone, that extracts contact details from a photographed business card and saves them into Zoho CRM as a Contact or Lead.
- Third-party integrations. External apps such as Covve Scan now integrate directly with Zoho CRM, letting captured leads be sent to your CRM directly from the third-party app.
Note: We can't confirm that a standalone app under the exact name "Lead Scanner" still exists separately from Card Scanner and the native mobile scanning feature above. If you're specifically looking for the app this article originally referred to, it's worth checking Zoho's current app listings directly, since app names and product lines like this do get consolidated or renamed over time.
Edition compatibility
The native business card scanning built into the Zoho CRM mobile app works across editions that include mobile access, which covers the great majority of paid Zoho CRM plans. If you're relying on a specific standalone scanning app instead, check that app's own listing for its current edition requirements, since these can differ from the core CRM mobile app.
