Explori

You can tell your board how an event scored against comparable shows, rather than defending a satisfaction figure with nothing to compare it to, and you can have charts and commentary drafted into a PowerPoint deck instead of building them by hand. It suits exhibition organisers, associations and corporate event teams that run post-event surveys and report the results upward. Explori runs attendee, exhibitor and sponsor surveys and sets the answers against a benchmark database which, by its own account, was built from more than 10,000 events measured since 2012, with over 3,000 in the current set and over 1,000 events measured each year.

What it is for

You get a like-for-like read on each event, so a weak result is visible before the next budget round. Explori documents three comparisons: across the events in your portfolio using one method, the same event year on year, and against other organisers’ events. Exhibition organisers use it for evidence that supports exhibitor rebooking, corporate teams to justify programme spend to leadership, and associations to show value to members and boards. It does not run registration, ticketing or an event app. Explori describes Cvent, Bizzabo and RainFocus as logistics platforms that its measurement sits on top of.

Features

• Survey building: start from a template, copy an earlier survey or build from scratch, with a question library you drag from, display and page skip logic, styling and side-by-side translation management.
• Collecting responses: email through the built-in tool, individual links for your own email platform, a campaign link, a QR code, a website embed, and tablets at the event in interview or kiosk mode. Pro and Enterprise add voice responses, video testimonials, non-attendee research and ad hoc research per event.
• Benchmarks: results shown against global, company, division and portfolio norms, with an overall event score and Net Promoter Score reporting. The help centre sets rules on sample size and client weighting so that large organisers do not dominate a benchmark.
• Analysis: filters, cross tabs, AI themes with sentiment for open-text answers, and AI survey summaries with KPIs, findings and suggested actions. An Explori Intelligence Agent on its website answers measurement and benchmarking questions.
• Reporting: ready-made or custom dashboards, year-on-year reporting, and SlidePal, a presentation builder inside Explori that drafts charts, slide commentary and an executive summary, and combines visitor and exhibitor surveys in one deck.
• Access: no limit on user numbers under a licence, with Master, Director, Portfolio, Product and Report roles.
• Managed research: Pro Insight and Persona-led Insight (up to 6 persona groups) run the whole programme for you. Bespoke work covers depth interviews, focus groups and the Market Pulse and Market Expert industry studies, with typical turnarounds of around six and eight weeks.

Plans and pricing

You can match the licence to each event rather than paying for the full platform across a whole programme, though you will need a sales conversation to get any figure. No prices are published. Lite and Pro show only a “Talk to us” button, Enterprise is marked as bespoke pricing, and Explori’s benchmarking page says enterprise packages scale with the number of events measured, from 20-event bundles to unlimited, alongside single-event licences.

• Lite: described as best for smaller events, typically up to 150 attendees. Attendee, exhibitor and sponsor benchmarking, up to 3 custom questions per event, basic skip logic, online distribution only.
• Pro: marked most popular. All five measurement dimensions, AI analysis, unlimited custom questions and skip logic, voice and video responses, non-attendee and ad hoc research, the full distribution suite and the integrations suite.
• Enterprise: everything in Pro, plus multi-event portfolio licences, dedicated account management and custom benchmarking.

A PPT Automation add-on and managed research are sold on top or separately. Plan details as shown on its plans page, checked 3 November 2026.

Free plan and trial

You can look around before speaking to anyone, using the self-guided tour on the platform page and the free measurement courses in its Learn section. The plans page lists no free plan and mentions no trial.

Integrations and API

You can tie responses to who your attendees are, and take your data out in standard formats. The documented route in is a CSV upload that maps registration fields into survey questions, available on Pro but not Lite. Out, reports export as Excel, PDF, CSV, Triple-S and PowerPoint. You can send invitations from your own email platform using downloaded links, or through your own server by giving support your SMTP details. Explori names MillionVerifier as the third party it passes uploaded addresses to, by API, for email checks.

The “Integrations suite” on Pro and Enterprise is not itemised on its public pages, and they do not document a customer API, so ask for the list before you choose a plan. An undated help article says single sign-on will be offered soon, so confirm whether it is available now.

Deployment and platforms

You sign in online rather than hosting anything yourself, as Explori describes itself as a self-service online survey tool with a client login, and on-site surveys run on a tablet. Its pages do not describe native apps. Its contract terms list Amazon Web Services as a sub-processor, along with GRS S.R.L for Italian clients and GRS Explori for Middle East clients. No data hosting region or security certification such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 is stated. A help article commits to GDPR standards as a minimum, and the terms promise notice of a personal data breach within 48 hours.

Company

You would contract with an English company under the law of England and Wales. Explori Media Ltd (company number 07723321) has its registered office at Corinthian House, 17 Lansdowne Road, Croydon. Companies House shows it as active and incorporated on 29 July 2011, while Explori dates its founding to 2012 under Mark Brewster, its CEO and founder. It names UFI and IMEX as partners, and its case studies page covers work for IMEX and Zendesk. No telephone number is published, so contact is by form or email.

What to check before buying

• Lite limits against your event. The help centre caps Lite at 500 responses and one language, with campaign link or QR code distribution only, no cross tabs or advanced filters, and no registration import.
• Which AI tools Lite includes. The plans page shows AI analysis on Pro and Enterprise only, while the help centre lists open-text categorisation on Lite and withholds only report summaries. Get the answer in writing.
• The PPT Automation add-on. It sits under the heading “Extend any plan”, yet only Pro and Enterprise are ticked, and it has no published price. Ask whether SlidePal needs it, as the standard PowerPoint export is listed separately.
• Renewal terms. Each contract renews automatically for a period equal to its initial term unless you give at least 30 days’ written notice expiring at the end of the term. Charges can rise at renewal on 90 days’ notice, exclude VAT, are invoiced at signing and are generally non-refundable.
• Your data. The terms give Explori a perpetual licence to combine and commercialise anonymised client data in its benchmarks, and to use aggregated results for AI summaries unless you opt out. You are responsible for your own back-ups, and Explori may dispose of client data on termination, so download your CSV files first.
• The email cap and comparison set. Since March 2024 surveys not about an event have a limit of 25,000 emails per licence per year, reminders included, with no option to buy more, while post-event surveys are exempt. Ask too which events and sectors your results will be compared with before relying on a score such as NPS.
