Overview

PheedLoop is an all-in-one event management platform based in Toronto, Canada, used by associations, corporations, government bodies, universities, and agencies for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Its modular suite covers registration and ticketing, event websites, a branded mobile event app (PheedLoop Go), exhibitor and sponsor management, speaker and abstract management, lead retrieval, gamification, CE credit tracking, on-site check-in and badge printing, and reporting. It also includes a built-in drag-and-drop floor plan builder and an Interactive Maps module, positioning the floor plan as one component of a much broader event operations toolkit. PheedLoop reports powering more than 20,000 events since 2015.

ExpoFP takes the opposite approach: it is a dedicated interactive floor plan platform built specifically for trade shows, expos, and exhibitions. Organizers use ExpoFP to draw and edit their floor plan, manage booth inventory with real-time availability, take booth reservations and online booth purchases, publish searchable exhibitor profiles, and embed the live map directly into their event website. Attendees get browser-based wayfinding on any device — no app download required — and organizers get reporting on how exhibitors and booths perform. Because the floor plan is the entire product rather than one module among many, the editing tools, booth sales logic, and map experience are where all of ExpoFP's product effort goes.

This page is for teams comparing ExpoFP vs PheedLoop, looking for a PheedLoop alternative for interactive floor plans and booth sales, or deciding between a specialist floor plan platform and an all-in-one event management suite. Both are capable products; the right choice depends on whether the floor plan is the center of your event or one feature within a larger stack.

Quick verdict

Both are capable products; the right choice depends on whether the floor plan is the center of your event or one feature within a larger stack.

Choose ExpoFP if

Your event revolves around a show floor — selling booths, managing exhibitor inventory, and helping attendees find their way around. ExpoFP gives you a purpose-built floor plan editor, map-first booth reservations and online purchases, and browser-based wayfinding with no app required, all at published prices starting at $149/mo with a free plan and a 7-day trial. It also embeds cleanly into whatever website and registration stack you already use.

Choose PheedLoop if

You want one vendor for the entire event lifecycle — registration, event website, mobile app, virtual/hybrid streaming, gamification, CE credits, badge printing, and exhibitor management — with a floor plan builder included as part of the suite. PheedLoop's modular, pay-for-what-you-need model and hands-on support make it a strong fit for associations and organizations consolidating multiple tools into one platform.

Why teams pick ExpoFP over PheedLoop

Teams that choose ExpoFP usually have one thing in common: the floor plan is not a feature for them — it is the product their exhibitors and attendees actually touch. Here is what they tell us matters:

  • Depth over breadth on the map. ExpoFP's entire roadmap is the floor plan: editing tools, booth logic, rendering, and search are built for complex expo layouts rather than added alongside a dozen other modules.
  • Booth sales built into the map. Inventory, pricing, reservations, and online purchases live directly on the floor plan, so the map you publish is the same system that sells the space.
  • No app required for attendees. Wayfinding runs in any browser from a link or QR code — nothing to download, which matters when many attendees skip event apps.
  • Works with your existing stack. ExpoFP embeds into any website and sits alongside whatever registration or event app you already use, instead of asking you to switch suites.
  • Transparent, published pricing. Plans start at $149/mo with a free plan and a 7-day full-featured trial — you can see costs and start building before ever talking to sales.
  • Same-day self-service setup. Organizers routinely draw and publish a working floor plan themselves without an onboarding project or sales cycle.

When PheedLoop may be a better fit

If you need registration, an event website, a branded mobile app, virtual or hybrid streaming, gamification, CE credit tracking, badge printing, and exhibitor management from a single vendor, PheedLoop is genuinely built for that job — and its included floor plan builder and Interactive Maps module may be sufficient if the show floor is a supporting element of your event rather than its commercial core. Its modular pricing, in-house support team, and strong footprint with associations, universities, and government organizations make it a sensible consolidation choice for teams that want fewer vendors, not more tools.

The real tradeoff

The choice between ExpoFP and PheedLoop is less about individual features and more about product philosophy. PheedLoop is a suite: its value comes from covering the whole event lifecycle in one system, and its floor plan exists to serve that suite. ExpoFP is a specialist: its value comes from doing one thing — the interactive floor plan and everything commercially attached to it — at a depth a suite module is unlikely to match, because a suite has to spread its investment across registration, streaming, badging, and more.

Practically, that means the decision hinges on where your event makes its money and where your team feels the most pain. If exhibit space is your primary revenue line and exhibitors judge you on how easy it is to see, reserve, and buy booths, a purpose-built floor plan platform earns its keep quickly. If your bigger challenge is stitching together registration, an app, and on-site operations across many events, a suite's convenience may outweigh best-in-class depth on any single component.

How they can fit together

Choosing between them is not always necessary. Because ExpoFP is embeddable and stack-agnostic, some organizers run PheedLoop (or another suite) for registration, the mobile app, and on-site operations while using ExpoFP as the dedicated floor plan and booth sales layer. The map embeds in the event website, exhibitor links point to their map profiles, and booth revenue flows through ExpoFP's reservation and payment tools.

This pairing is common when an organization's suite decision is already made — often at the association or company level — but the events team still wants a stronger show-floor experience than the built-in module provides. In that setup:

  • PheedLoop handles the event shell: registration, website, mobile app, check-in and badging, sessions, and attendee engagement.
  • ExpoFP handles the show floor: floor plan editing, booth inventory, reservations and online purchases, and exhibitor discovery.
  • Attendees get both: the suite's app for the agenda, and a browser-based map for wayfinding — no extra download.
