Overview

ExpoStandard is an exhibition management platform positioned as an all-in-one system for exhibition stand management and sales. According to its public website, it combines interactive floor plans with real-time stand availability, exhibitor management, automated contract and participation-document generation, an exhibitor self-service portal, and configurable stands, services, utilities, and sponsorship packages — all aimed at replacing spreadsheets, static PDF plans, and manual paperwork. ExpoStandard explicitly positions itself as “more than a floor plan,” covering the broader administrative process, and publishes a setup-based pricing model starting at 900 euros per setup per event, with each implementation including event configuration, floor plan integration, stand inventory setup, and organizer onboarding.

ExpoFP approaches the same market from the opposite direction: the floor plan is the product. ExpoFP gives organizers a browser-based editor to draw and manage booth inventory, take booth reservations and online booth purchases directly from the map, publish searchable exhibitor profiles, and embed the whole experience into their own event website. Attendees get browser-based wayfinding — search a company, tap a booth, follow a highlighted path — with no app download required. Real-time availability, reporting, and multi-floor and multi-building support round out a toolset designed so a single organizer can set up an event in an afternoon, on a free plan or a published DIY plan starting at $149/mo.

This page is for teams comparing ExpoFP vs ExpoStandard, looking for an ExpoStandard alternative, or deciding between interactive floor plan software and broader exhibition management software for booth sales, exhibitor management, and attendee wayfinding. Both products sell space from a live map; the difference is what surrounds that map — and how much of it you can run yourself.

Quick verdict

Both products sell space from a live map; the difference is what surrounds that map — and how much of it you can run yourself.

Choose ExpoFP if

You want a floor-plan-first platform you can set up yourself today, with transparent published pricing, a free plan, and a 7-day trial. ExpoFP is the stronger fit when the interactive map itself — booth sales, exhibitor discovery, website embedding, and app-free attendee navigation — is the center of your event experience, and you want to keep your existing registration and CRM stack.

Choose ExpoStandard if

You want a managed, all-in-one system where the floor plan is one part of a broader administrative workflow — automated contracts, participation documents, exhibitor services, utilities, and sponsorship packages sold during booking. ExpoStandard's guided setup and implementation model may suit organizers who prefer an onboarded, configured-for-you deployment over pure self-service.

Why teams pick ExpoFP over ExpoStandard

Teams that evaluate both usually come down to speed, transparency, and the attendee side of the map. Here is what tips the decision toward ExpoFP:

  • Self-service from minute one. ExpoFP has a free plan and a 7-day full-featured trial — you can draw your floor plan and publish it today. ExpoStandard's public model starts with a vendor-led setup package for each event.
  • Fully published pricing. ExpoFP lists its plans openly, starting at $149/mo for DIY, with online booth purchases available from $269/mo for up to 100 booths. ExpoStandard publishes its setup fee (from 900 euros/setup/event) but full ongoing costs require a conversation.
  • Attendee wayfinding with no app. ExpoFP's maps include search and booth-to-booth navigation in any browser. ExpoStandard's public materials focus on organizer and exhibitor workflows, not attendee navigation.
  • Website embedding. ExpoFP floor plans and exhibitor lists embed directly into your event website, so the map lives where your traffic already is.
  • Map depth for complex venues. Multi-floor, multi-building, and large-hall support are core ExpoFP capabilities; comparable support in ExpoStandard is not publicly documented.
  • You keep control of edits. With ExpoFP, reshaping the plan, repricing booths, or adding a hall is something you do yourself in the editor — no dependency on an implementation cycle.

When ExpoStandard may be a better fit

ExpoStandard's pitch — “more than a floor plan” — is a fair one, and for some organizers it is exactly right. If your bottleneck is administration rather than the map itself — generating contracts and participation documents, selling shell scheme packages, utilities, and sponsorships during booking, and centralizing exhibitor communication — ExpoStandard bundles those workflows into one system and configures them for you during onboarding. Organizers who prefer a guided implementation with training, and who want document automation natively rather than through integrations, should give ExpoStandard a serious look.

The real tradeoff

This is not a big-suite-versus-point-tool comparison; both products are specialists that start from the same insight — exhibition space sells better from a live map than from a PDF. The tradeoff is which side of the event each one specializes in from there. ExpoStandard extends inward, toward the organizer's back office: contracts, documents, services, utilities, sponsorship packages, and administrative automation. ExpoFP extends outward, toward the public: exhibitor discovery, website embedding, search, and app-free attendee navigation on the show floor.

That direction shapes everything else. ExpoStandard's per-event setup model buys you configuration and onboarding but places implementation between you and changes; ExpoFP's self-service model puts the editor in your hands but leaves contract generation and document management to your existing tools or integrations. Neither approach is wrong — they optimize for different definitions of “the event platform.”

How to decide

Start by writing down where your team actually loses time. If the answer is chasing signed contracts, versioning participation documents, and reconciling service orders, you are describing ExpoStandard's core. If the answer is updating the floor plan, fielding “where is booth 214?” questions, and manually confirming booth holds, you are describing ExpoFP's core.

Then test the claim you care about most. ExpoFP's free plan and 7-day trial mean you can validate the entire map-to-sale flow with your real floor plan before spending anything; for ExpoStandard, request a demo and ask specifically about attendee-facing features, website embedding, and total cost beyond the setup fee.

  • Prototype with real data. Load your actual hall layout and booth inventory into ExpoFP's trial and see how far you get in a day.
  • Price the full lifecycle. Compare ExpoFP's published subscription against ExpoStandard's setup fee plus whatever recurring costs apply across all your events per year.
  • Check the attendee experience. Open each platform's public floor plan on a phone and try to find a booth — your attendees will do exactly that.
