The Trellner Review

A head-to-head between the top two providers in our trade show exhibitor list ranking. One sells an entire database for a single small payment. The other sells individual contacts or monthly contact allowances. We lay out who each one suits.

  • Exhibitor Intelligence — 200+ events, 500,000+ contacts, $0.35 per contact or $299 / $799 / $1,499 a month
  • ExhibitorLens — $29 once for 2,866 events and 352,564 exhibitor records (23 September 2026)
  • Pre-purchase look — 50 free contacts against 10 free rows on any event page the buyer chooses
  • Cross-event company search — included with ExhibitorLens, absent from a per-contact product
  • Named contacts — ExhibitorLens adds a $79 per-event decision-maker list; Exhibitor Intelligence remains the pick for large US contact pulls
