Momentus Technologies (formerly Ungerboeck) alternatives
Momentus manages venues. Map D manages the show inside one. Which you need depends on whether you own the building.
Momentus Technologies, which renamed from Ungerboeck in January 2023, is venue and event management software aimed at the organizations that operate buildings — convention centers, stadiums, arenas and universities. Map D is the stronger alternative for show organizers who sell booth and sponsorship inventory off a floor plan, and it publishes per-event pricing where Momentus quotes.

What Momentus is good at
Momentus is built for a job Map D does not attempt. If you operate a venue, most of this list is why you would choose them.
- Venue booking and operations for convention centers, stadiums, arenas, performing arts centers, universities and museums.
- A broad platform assembled over several acquisitions — EventBooking, Priava, ShoWorks and Risk Manager — consolidated under one brand.
- Named product lines spanning enterprise deployments, ticketing and risk or incident tracking.
- Long history in the category. The Ungerboeck name goes back decades, and that institutional knowledge sits behind the product.
Why organizers look elsewhere
The gaps that send trade show organizers looking for an alternative.
- It is venue-first. An organizer who rents space rather than operating it is buying a platform built around someone else's job.
- Pricing is quote-only. The site offers a demo rather than published rates.
- Enterprise breadth means scope. A show organizer wanting a floor plan, booth sales and exhibitor management may be buying a venue operations suite to get them.
- The rename means research is split: most third-party reviews and comparisons still sit under Ungerboeck.
How Map D compares
Map D’s column states what Map D does. Where a Momentus equivalent is not publicly documented, the row says so rather than guessing.
- Map D offers
- 6 of 7
- Momentus publicly documents
- 4 of 7
The second bar counts what Momentus documents on its own site, which is not the same as what it can do. A criterion we could not verify is shown as unverified, not as missing — if Momentus covers it somewhere we did not find, that is a gap in our checking rather than in their product.

Map D’s rates are per event and listed on the pricing page. The dashed column has no height and no figure on purpose: where rates are not published we will not put a number on them, and where they are published we will not restate one that can change without notice.
Criterion by criterion
| Criterion | Map D | Momentus |
|---|---|---|
| Primary user | The show organizer — the team selling the floor and running the exhibitor program. | Momentus positions around venues: convention centers, stadiums, arenas, universities. |
| Published pricing | Yes — $1,500, $2,500 and $2,750 per event, listed on the pricing page. | Momentus directs visitors to book a demo rather than listing rates (checked September 2026). |
| Venue booking and operations | Not offered. If you operate a building, this is the wrong tool. | Core to Momentus. |
| Interactive floor plan with live booth inventory | Core to the product — availability, pricing and sales run off the same plan. | Not publicly documented |
| Self-serve booth and sponsorship checkout | Exhibitors select and pay for space directly from the plan. | Not publicly documented |
| Exhibitor self-service portal | Profiles, staff badges, documents, add-ons, invoices and renewals. | Not publicly documented |
| Time to a budget figure | Immediate — the rates are on the pricing page. | Requires a demo and a scoped quote. |

Where Map D is stronger
- Built for the organizer's job: selling the floor, managing exhibitors, and reporting on revenue — not managing a building's bookings.
- Pricing is published: $1,500, $2,500 or $2,750 per event. No demo required to size a budget.
- Roughly 800 organizers run about 6,000 events a year on Map D, which has processed more than $250M in booth and sponsorship sales.
- Per-event pricing fits organizers who move between venues rather than operating one.
When Momentus is the better choice
- You operate the venue. This is the clearest case on any of these pages — if your job is filling a building's calendar and running its operations, Momentus is built for that and Map D is not.
- You need room booking, catering, staffing or incident tracking as part of the same system.
- You are a university, arena or convention center standardizing venue operations across many event types, most of which are not trade shows.
- You already run Ungerboeck or Momentus for venue operations and the show floor is a small part of what you manage.
Frequently asked questions
Is Momentus the same company as Ungerboeck?
Yes. Ungerboeck announced its rename to Momentus Technologies on 30 January 2023, consolidating several acquisitions under one brand. Most third-party reviews written before then appear under the Ungerboeck name.
How much does Momentus cost?
Momentus does not publish pricing; the site directs you to book a demo, so cost depends on a scoped conversation. Map D publishes its rates: $1,500, $2,500 or $2,750 per event.
Can Map D replace Momentus?
Only if what you need is the show, not the building. Map D runs floor plans, booth and sponsorship sales, exhibitor management and reporting. It does not do venue booking or operations, so a venue operator would be giving up the thing they bought Momentus for.
We rent our venue. Which do we need?
If you rent space rather than operate it, you are the organizer, and an organizer-first platform is the closer fit. Venue operations features only earn their cost when you own the calendar of the building.
Stop reading about it. Build one.
Upload the floor plan you already have and place your booths on it yourself, in Map D’s editor. Free to build, no contract, and nothing to install.
