ExpoMap vs Map D

ExpoMap brings trade show and expo operations together, including floor plans, exhibitor management, registration, badges, lead capture, networking, and AI tools. Organizers can arrange 2D or 3D booths with a drag-and-drop editor, manage sales and availability, and provide public wayfinding. Registration includes custom forms, paid tickets, promo codes, QR badges, wallet support, kiosks, and QR check-in. Exhibitors can scan QR codes or enter leads manually, then rate, annotate, export, and summarize them with AI. Other AI tools cover event search, matchmaking, lead scoring, follow-up drafts, and an assistant that answers from exhibitor-provided information. Events can have multilingual microsites on an ExpoMap or organizer domain, with analytics integrations. The phone experience is an installable PWA with badges, lead scanning, maps, meetings, messaging, and push notifications. ExpoMap lists Stripe, signed webhooks, data import, and CRM and automation connections. Its free plan costs nothing and covers one event, up to 49 exhibitors, and up to 250 visitors.

Map D combines interactive floor plans, booth and sponsorship sales, exhibitor workflows, attendee tools, and reporting for events. Its map editor handles booth placement, numbering, and sizing, and maps can be embedded on event websites. Growth adds direct booth selection and purchasing from the floor plan, with orders and invoices recorded in the platform; Starter does not include online booth checkout. Plans range from a free floor plan for one event, which does not state publishing or booth sales, to per-event paid tiers: Starter is $1,500, paid once, Growth is $2,500, paid once, and Scale is $2,750, paid once. Map D describes connectors for Novi, MemberClicks, and Salesforce, website embeds for WordPress, HubSpot, and Wix, plus REST API and Zapier support. Named payment integrations include Stripe, Authorize.Net, and Square. Every plan includes onboarding, team training, and email and chat support; phone support and a customer success manager are optional add-ons. The web experience is responsive across devices, and a branded native iOS and Android event app is optional. Map D is based in Athens, Georgia, and was founded in 2011.
