Overview

OnePlan is a cloud-based event site planning platform used to design event sites to scale on real-world maps. Built on GIS mapping technology, it lets organizers drag and drop infrastructure — barriers, tents, stages, toilets, signage — onto satellite or map views of their location, import existing layouts and CAD-style overlays, and collaborate with team members in real time. OnePlan is widely used by festivals, road events, sports federations, local governments, and venues, with public credentials that include the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and more than 200,000 events planned across 150 countries. Its core use cases are operational: security planning, crowd management, traffic management, workforce positioning, and vendor placement.

ExpoFP approaches event mapping from a different direction: the floor plan as a revenue and discovery tool for trade shows and expos. With ExpoFP, organizers build an interactive floor plan that doubles as booth inventory — exhibitors can browse available booths, reserve them, and on paid plans purchase them online with real-time availability. Attendees get searchable exhibitor profiles, category filtering, and turn-by-turn browser-based wayfinding that works on any phone without installing an app. The floor plan and exhibitor list embed directly into the event website, and organizers get reporting on booth sales and visitor engagement.

This page is for teams comparing ExpoFP vs OnePlan, looking for a OnePlan alternative for trade shows and expos, or deciding between an interactive floor plan platform with booth sales and attendee wayfinding and a GIS event site planning tool built for operational design. Both products draw maps of events — but they solve different problems for different people.

Quick verdict

Both products draw maps of events — but they solve different problems for different people.

Choose ExpoFP if

You run trade shows, expos, or exhibitor-driven events and want the floor plan to actively sell booths, showcase exhibitors, and guide attendees. ExpoFP combines booth inventory, online reservations and purchases, exhibitor listings, and no-app browser wayfinding in one embeddable floor plan, with a free plan and published pricing from $149/mo.

Choose OnePlan if

You plan festivals, road events, sports events, or complex outdoor sites and your priority is operational design — placing infrastructure to scale on real-world GIS maps, planning traffic and crowd flow, and collaborating with agencies and authorities. OnePlan is purpose-built for site operations rather than exhibitor commerce.

Why teams pick ExpoFP over OnePlan

For exhibitor-driven events, the floor plan is not just an operations document — it is a storefront. Teams choose ExpoFP when they need the map itself to generate revenue and serve attendees, not only coordinate site logistics:

  • The floor plan sells booths. Booth inventory, reservations, and online purchases with real-time availability are built into the map — exhibitors buy space directly from the plan on paid plans starting at $269/mo (Subscription + Payments, up to 100 booths).
  • Exhibitors get a public face. Every booth links to a searchable exhibitor profile with logo, description, and products — turning the floor plan into a year-round exhibitor directory.
  • Attendees navigate without an app. Turn-by-turn wayfinding runs in any mobile browser via a link or QR code — no download, no login, no friction on show day.
  • It lives on your website. The interactive floor plan and exhibitor list embed directly into your event site, keeping traffic and SEO value on your own domain.
  • Pricing is simple and published. Free plan, 7-day full-featured trial, and DIY plans from $149/mo — you can scope costs without a sales call.
  • Setup is fast either way. Build the plan yourself in the browser editor, or have the ExpoFP team produce it for you.

When OnePlan may be a better fit

If your event is a festival, marathon, motorsport event, or large outdoor gathering, OnePlan is likely the stronger tool. Its GIS foundation, to-scale accuracy on real-world maps, and purpose-built modules for security, crowd management, traffic, infrastructure, and workforce planning address problems ExpoFP does not try to solve. Its track record with major sports events and venues — including publicly documented work around the Paris 2024 Olympic Games — speaks to serious operational credibility, and its published free and Pro tiers make it easy to evaluate. For organizer-facing site operations on complex outdoor footprints, OnePlan is a fair and capable choice.

The real tradeoff

The honest way to frame this comparison is audience, not quality. OnePlan's map faces inward: it exists so that operations teams, safety officers, contractors, and authorities agree on where everything goes and how the site runs. Its value is measured in planning hours saved, site visits avoided, and safer, better-coordinated delivery. Booth commerce, exhibitor directories, and attendee navigation are simply outside its documented scope — OnePlan itself describes the product as complementing ticketing and sales tools rather than replacing them.

ExpoFP's map faces outward: it exists so that exhibitors can find and buy space, and attendees can find and reach exhibitors. Its value is measured in booths sold, exhibitor satisfaction, and attendee engagement on show day. If your revenue comes from selling floor space and your attendees need to locate hundreds of companies in a hall, an exhibitor-facing floor plan platform is the tool that moves those numbers. If your challenge is fitting a festival safely into a park and coordinating fifteen stakeholders, it is not.

How they can fit together

For some organizations, this is not an either/or decision. A large consumer show on a fairground, or an expo attached to a marathon or festival, genuinely has both problems: an outdoor site to engineer and an exhibition floor to sell. Because the two products own different phases and audiences, they can coexist without overlap.

Teams that only run exhibitor-driven indoor events will rarely need both; teams that only run road races or festivals will rarely need ExpoFP. The overlap case is the large mixed-format event — and there, the platforms complement more than they compete. A practical split looks like this:

  • Plan the site in OnePlan — perimeter, infrastructure, traffic routes, crowd flow, and workforce positions, shared with contractors and local authorities.
  • Sell and showcase the exhibition in ExpoFP — booth inventory, online reservations and purchases, and exhibitor profiles embedded on the event website.
  • Serve attendees through ExpoFP on show day — searchable exhibitor listings and browser wayfinding via QR codes, with no app to install.

FAQ

Common questions for teams comparing ExpoFP and OnePlan.

For trade shows and expos, yes. If you are evaluating OnePlan primarily to map an exhibition floor, manage booth inventory, and give attendees an interactive plan, ExpoFP is a purpose-built alternative with booth sales and wayfinding included. For outdoor site operations — crowd, traffic, security, infrastructure — the products are not substitutes, and OnePlan remains the specialist.
