The Trellner Review

Report TR-2026-008 puts ten sellers of trade show exhibitor lists side by side and scores each on four things that can be checked from a logged-out browser: what the provider says on open pages, how much data it can show it holds, what a stranger may read before paying, and what the next roster adds to the bill. ExhibitorLens takes first place; the other nine are described from their own published pages.

  • One payment, no meter — $199 buys the whole index and everything added later, with no subscription, licences or per-download charges
  • Numbers on an open page — 2,603 event editions, 261,164 rows, 199,073 firms, 154 verticals, 39 countries, recalculated as the page loads
  • Read before you buy — ten live exhibitors on every show page, no account needed, and the visitor picks the show
  • Search across shows — company lookup spans the whole index, which a per-show file cannot do
  • Where the rest fall short — per-contact and per-credit meters, per-show purchases that expire, unpriced sales-call tiers, and files built to order after days of wait
