ExpoFP

ExpoFP is an interactive floor-plan and booth-management product for event organizers. It suits events that need both attendee wayfinding and exhibitor booth sales; choose carefully, because its plans differ sharply in sales features, project revisions, and hosting duration.

Overview

ExpoFP brings attendee navigation and exhibitor activity together on an event map. Visitors can search by company, booth, or category and get directions between floors and buildings; exhibitors can browse booth sizes, availability, and prices. That combination is useful when a venue map needs to support both discovery and sales, rather than serve only as a directory.

Its stated use cases range from expos, trade shows, fairs, and conferences to weddings, food truck festivals, and offices. The product also supports booth assignment, application forms, exhibitor messaging, and payment collection, with a stated capacity of 100 exhibitors.

Key features

Wayfinding and booth reservations

Directions across floors and buildings make the map more useful in complex venues than a single-level booth listing. Exhibitors can reserve spaces from the plan, but not on Light: that plan excludes booth reservation and sponsorship. Organizers who need the map to convert interest into bookings should rule Light out.

Payments, integrations, and kiosks

Payment processing supports PayPal, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net, and PayPal Payflow, with no extra transaction fees stated. Exhibitor data can move through partner integrations, a public API, Excel templates, or Salesforce. Maps can be embedded by link, button, iframe, or script, and Android and iOS SDK integrations are offered. These options give organizers several routes to connect a map to existing systems.

Windows, Android, macOS, and Linux kiosk downloads can run floor plans offline, a useful option for on-site display. ExpoFP says its floor-plan data is hosted on AWS in the United States and cannot currently be hosted elsewhere. It has AoC documentation and PCI compliance, but no SOC 2 report or certification; organizations that require SOC 2 or non-US hosting should look elsewhere.

Pricing

ExpoFP has a free plan and a 7-day trial. Paid plans start at $149/mo. The plan choice determines whether booth sales are included and how long hosting, updates, and support continue.

DIY: $149/mo, billed monthly, for a self-built map showing 100 booths, with booth reservation and sponsorship. Prepaying for 6+ months gets 10% off. This is the lowest-cost paid route for organizers prepared to build their own map.

Light: $990 one-time for 100 booths and 1 month of hosting, updates, and support. It excludes booth reservation and sponsorship, making it a poor fit when exhibitors need to book directly through the map.

Standard: $1,500 one-time for up to 1,000 booths, 3 buildings or levels, 3 major revisions, and 6 months of hosting, updates, and support. It fits projects needing a professionally supported map across several levels, but the revision and hosting periods are finite.

Pro: $2,100 one-time for up to 1,000 booths, unlimited buildings or levels, 5 major revisions, and 12 months of hosting, updates, and support. Projects above 1,000 booths are quoted per project. This is the stronger fit for larger or more complex venues that need more revision room and a longer support window.

The one-time plans trade recurring billing for a defined hosting and support term; organizers should account for the end of that period. Light is the cheapest one-time option, but its missing reservations and sponsorship are a substantial functional compromise.

Platforms

ExpoFP lists Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows platforms, as well as an API. The separate offline kiosk downloads cover Windows, Android, macOS, and Linux. Organizers needing broad attendee access can use the web map, while kiosk deployment has desktop and mobile operating-system options.

Who it's for

ExpoFP is best suited to event organizers who want attendee navigation and exhibitor booth sales in the same floor plan, especially across multiple buildings or levels. Its stated range includes trade events, fairs, conferences, weddings, food truck festivals, and offices. It is less suitable when the project exceeds 1,000 booths without room for project-specific pricing, requires hosting outside the United States, or requires SOC 2 certification.

Pros and cons

Pro: Search and directions across floors and buildings help visitors navigate venues with more than one level.

Pro: Booth availability, pricing, reservations, and payment processing bring exhibitor sales into the map workflow.

Pro: API, Salesforce, spreadsheet, partner, embed, and SDK options offer several ways to connect maps and exhibitor data.

Con: Light omits reservations and sponsorship, so the least expensive one-time plan cannot support the full booth-sales workflow.

Con: Hosting, updates, and support on the listed plans run for fixed periods, from one month on Light to one year on Pro.

Con: US-only hosting and the lack of a SOC 2 report or certification may disqualify it for some organizations.

Alternatives

Exhibitor Management Software is a broader category to explore when comparing exhibitor-management products beyond a floor-plan tool.

Zoho Backstage is worth considering for event teams that want an attendee-focused event platform with a free plan covering 100 attendees per event, 300 RSVP invites, 3 sessions, 3 speakers, and one event day.

WebMobi Trade Show Management may suit organizers prioritizing participant-based trade-show plans: its free tier allows 50 participants per year, with paid tiers shown at $19/month for 250 participants per year and $39/month for the next tier.

BoothHQ is an alternative for a small event that can work within its free plan's one-event and 50-attendee caps, with ticket sales through the organizer's own Stripe account.

EventHex is another paid option with a free trial for readers comparing event software.

Marketspread is relevant to vendors seeking a free standard profile to publish products and apply to events, rather than an event organizer seeking ExpoFP's mapped booth-sales workflow.

ExpoMap may suit a smaller event that fits its free plan's one-event, 49-exhibitor, and 250-visitor limits, with floor plan, registration, and exhibitor portal included.

xh is a free open-source command-line HTTP client, not a comparable event floor-plan product.

Exhibitio is an alternative to consider for ticketing, with no fee on free tickets and a flat $0.99 per paid ticket sold.

Verdict

Choose ExpoFP when your event needs a navigable map that also lets exhibitors evaluate and reserve booths, with integrations to move exhibitor data into existing workflows. DIY is the entry point if you can build the map yourself; Standard or Pro make more sense when you need multi-level coverage and longer support. Look elsewhere if you require non-US hosting or SOC 2 certification, or if Light's omitted sales features are all your budget allows.
