Overview

KeyQo is a French trade show management platform, based in Grenoble, that positions itself as an all-in-one tool for organizers: an interactive floor plan built with a drag-and-drop editor, online booth booking available 24/7, exhibitor management, automatic invoicing, and a real-time dashboard for revenue and occupancy. KeyQo publishes its pricing openly, charges no commission on booth sales, and highlights GDPR compliance with data hosted in France. Its public materials emphasize speed for smaller organizers — creating an account, drawing a plan, and taking first bookings within a day — with an exhibitor portal published on the organizer's subdomain. As of mid-2026, KeyQo's website presents a pre-registration offer with sign-up via a waitlist, so some details of the shipped product should be confirmed directly with their team.

ExpoFP is a floor-plan-first platform used by expos, trade shows, and conferences worldwide. Organizers build and edit interactive floor plans, manage booth inventory directly on the map, take booth reservations and online booth purchases, and publish an exhibitor directory that attendees can search by booth, company, or category. The floor plan embeds into any event website, and attendees get turn-by-turn wayfinding in the browser — no app download required. ExpoFP supports multi-floor and multi-building venues, offers self-service setup with a free plan and a 7-day full-featured trial, and publishes DIY pricing starting at $149/mo.

This page is for teams comparing ExpoFP vs KeyQo, looking for a KeyQo alternative, or deciding which interactive floor plan and booth booking software fits their event. Both are specialist tools rather than sprawling suites, so the choice comes down to which side of the event each one serves best: exhibitor-facing booth sales and attendee-facing navigation (ExpoFP) versus organizer back-office management for smaller trade shows (KeyQo).

Quick verdict

Both are specialist tools rather than sprawling suites — the choice comes down to which side of the event each one serves best.

Choose ExpoFP if

You want a proven, floor-plan-first platform that handles the full life of the map: selling booths online, showcasing exhibitors, embedding the plan on your website, and guiding attendees through the venue in their browser with no app. ExpoFP is a strong fit for events of any size, including large multi-building venues, and you can start today on a free plan or 7-day trial with published pricing from $149/mo.

Choose KeyQo if

You are a smaller trade show organizer — particularly in France or a French-speaking market — who wants a low-cost, all-in-one back office with a drag-and-drop floor plan, online booking, invoicing, and a zero-commission model, and you are comfortable joining an early-stage product. KeyQo's published entry pricing is inexpensive, and data hosting in France may matter for some buyers.

Why teams pick ExpoFP over KeyQo

ExpoFP and KeyQo overlap on the organizer side, but teams that choose ExpoFP usually do so because the floor plan works just as hard after booths are sold as before:

  • Attendee wayfinding built in. ExpoFP gives attendees turn-by-turn navigation in the browser with no app download — a capability KeyQo's public materials do not advertise.
  • A proven product you can start using today. ExpoFP offers a free plan and a 7-day full-featured trial; KeyQo's site currently routes sign-ups through a pre-registration waitlist.
  • Embeds anywhere. The ExpoFP floor plan and exhibitor list embed directly into your own event website, rather than living on a vendor subdomain.
  • Scales to complex venues. Multi-floor and multi-building support means one platform covers everything from a hotel ballroom to a convention campus.
  • Exhibitor discovery for attendees. A searchable directory by booth, company, or category turns the floor plan into a marketing asset for your exhibitors.
  • Track record at scale. ExpoFP powers floor plans for thousands of events worldwide, which matters when the map is the front door to your show.

When KeyQo may be a better fit

KeyQo is a fair choice for small trade show organizers — especially in France and French-speaking markets — who primarily need an affordable, all-in-one back office: a drag-and-drop floor plan, online booking requests, automatic invoicing, QR-code check-in, and a revenue dashboard, all with no commission on booth sales. Its published entry pricing is low, French-language support is advertised seven days a week, and data hosting in France with GDPR compliance may be a requirement for some organizations. If those factors outweigh attendee-facing features and product maturity, KeyQo deserves a look.

The real tradeoff

This is not a specialist-versus-suite comparison — both ExpoFP and KeyQo are focused tools built around the trade show floor plan. The real difference is which direction each product faces. KeyQo faces inward, toward the organizer's back office: it aims to replace spreadsheets and email threads with a dashboard, booking requests, invoices, and occupancy stats. That is a genuine pain point for small organizers, and KeyQo's zero-commission, low-cost positioning speaks directly to it.

ExpoFP faces outward as well as inward. The same floor plan that manages your booth inventory also sells booths online, showcases exhibitors to prospective attendees, embeds on your website, and then guides thousands of people through the venue on show day — all in the browser. If your event's success depends on exhibitors finding and buying the right booth and attendees finding those exhibitors on-site, the outward-facing half of the equation is hard to give up. KeyQo may be the lighter-weight administrative tool; ExpoFP is the platform that keeps working from the first booth sold to the last attendee who walks the floor.

How to decide

Start with the moment your floor plan matters most. If it is mostly an internal planning document — a way to track which booths are sold and invoice exhibitors — a back-office tool like KeyQo may be sufficient. If the floor plan is a public asset that sells booths, promotes exhibitors, and navigates attendees, you need a platform built for all of those jobs at once.

Then test both against your real event. ExpoFP's free plan and 7-day trial let you upload your actual venue and see the result the same day; ask KeyQo for a demo or trial access to compare, since sign-up currently runs through a waitlist. As you evaluate, check:

  • Attendee experience: Can attendees search exhibitors and get walking directions in their browser, without downloading an app?
  • Booth sales flow: Can exhibitors see live availability and complete a purchase online, and what does that cost per month or per booth?
  • Venue complexity: Does the platform handle your floors, buildings, and future growth — or just this year's hall?
