Its core strength is connecting people: badge scanning, lead retrieval, AI-driven meeting recommendations (Grip cites using large data sets and multiple matchmaking strategies), personalized attendee schedules, and an exhibitor portal that covers registration, profile management, and meeting bookings. Grip also offers a broader event management system (EMS) for registration and event operations, and it is generally positioned toward larger, enterprise-scale commercial organizers. Notably, Grip has publicly announced a partnership with ExpoFP to power the interactive floor plan and wayfinding layer inside its own app — a detail worth knowing if you're evaluating either platform for floor plan capability specifically.",[69,70],"ExpoFP is a focused, floor-plan-first platform. It is built around map-first booth inventory and reservation logic: organizers create interactive floor plans, manage booth status and pricing, and — on paid plans — sell booths online directly through the map (Subscription + Payments plans start at {subscriptionPrice}\u002Fmo for up to {boothLimit} booths). Attendees get browser-based wayfinding with no app download required, and the platform is web-first with solid mobile support. ExpoFP handles multi-building and multi-level venues, supports embeddable floor plans and exhibitor lists for organizer websites, and offers a free plan alongside a {trialDays}-day full-featured trial.

Grip is built around a different job first: powering meaningful connections and meetings at an event, with matchmaking, lead retrieval, and registration as central pillars, and floor plan mapping delivered through a partner integration rather than as its own core product.","Neither approach is inherently better — the right choice depends on what your event actually needs most. A regional trade show focused on booth sales and exhibitor discovery may not need AI matchmaking or a full EMS. A large confex event built around structured 1:1 meetings and lead generation may need exactly that, with the floor plan as a supporting layer rather than the main event.","Cost and buying process are part of this tradeoff too. ExpoFP publishes its pricing and lets teams start on a free plan or a {trialDays}-day full-featured trial without a sales conversation, which suits organizers who want to evaluate quickly and self-serve. Grip's custom, quote-based pricing model is more typical of enterprise event technology suites, where implementation, integrations, and account support are bundled into a negotiated contract. Teams with a fixed budget and a tight timeline may find ExpoFP's transparency easier to plan around; teams building a multi-year enterprise event program may be comfortable with — or prefer — a more consultative sales process.",{"heading":239,"paragraphs":240,"items":243},"How they can fit together",[241,242],"Because Grip has publicly partnered with ExpoFP to power its own floor plan and wayfinding experience, some organizers may already encounter ExpoFP indirectly through Grip's app. For teams evaluating the two as standalone options, it's worth separating the question of “which platform maps my floor best” from “which platform manages my networking and registration.”","In practice, many organizers land on one of two paths: use ExpoFP as a focused, embeddable floor plan and booth-sales tool on its own or alongside any event app or registration system, or use a broader suite like Grip for matchmaking and registration while relying on ExpoFP-powered mapping for the floor plan layer specifically.",[244,245,246],"If floor plans and booth sales are your primary need, evaluate ExpoFP directly and independently.","If networking, matchmaking, and lead retrieval are your primary need, evaluate Grip's full suite and ask how floor plan mapping is delivered.","If you need both, confirm with each vendor how floor plan, registration, and matchmaking data connect across systems.",{"heading":248,"paragraph":249,"buttonLabels":250},"Evaluate ExpoFP directly and independently","A {trialDays}-day full-featured trial and a free plan let teams evaluate the floor plan layer and go live quickly.",[38,39,40],{"heading":64,"paragraph":252,"items":253},"Common questions for teams comparing ExpoFP and Grip.",[254,257,260,263,266,269,272],{"question":255,"answer":256},"Is ExpoFP a Grip alternative?","Yes, for the floor plan and booth management portion of an event's technology stack.

Specific workflow details and limits should be confirmed directly with Grip, as they are not fully detailed in public materials.",{"question":267,"answer":268},"Which platform is better for attendee navigation?","ExpoFP offers browser-based wayfinding that works without requiring attendees to download an app, which can reduce friction at check-in. Grip's navigation and meeting-finding tools are primarily delivered through its mobile event app. The better fit depends on whether your audience prefers app-based or browser-based access.",{"question":270,"answer":271},"Does Grip publish pricing?","Grip does not publish standard, published tiered pricing on its website; pricing is generally quoted per event through its sales team based on event size and features.
