Tourient: a Convo Audio Tours Alternative
The core difference: an AI content engine vs a tour builder.
Tourient is a self-serve tour builder you control, with a drag-and-drop CMS, and AI tools like translation and text to speech available. Convo Audio Tours is an AI content engine that drafts, voices, and answers questions for you, at a much higher price point.
The two also sit far apart on price and scope: Tourient is $195/month for unlimited tours, while Convo's self-serve Studio plan is $600/month for three published tours, with anything beyond that requiring a custom quote.
Tours you can edit on your terms
Multi-lingual made easy
Tourient includes built-in time-saving tools
Tourient gives you more control than Convo Audio Tours
Simple content management
Tourient's tour builder CMS is designed for non-technical users to quickly build and update tours. Convo Audio Tours also has a similarly simple CMS, but it costs 3x as much to get it.
Narrative control with 18+ types of content
Convo Audio Tours only offers images, audio, and text. Tourient adds tooltips, before and after images, polls and quizzes, embedded maps, and much more for storytelling control.
Custom branding
Tourient gives you full control over logos, colors and fonts with custom themes on each tour, while Convo Audio Tours completely lacks branding capabilities.
Human-based customer support
Tourient gives every customer a dedicated account manager available by email or video call, and does not use AI chatbots or phone agents. Given that Convo is an AI-based tour, we'd conclude their support is also AI-based.

Tourient is trusted by organizations for its ease of use and great support
“This is the best if anyone is looking for an easy, user friendly way of showing content and audio for any museum exhibit. The staff from Tourient are also very helpful in assisting with setup and random technical questions we’ve had... Quick responses and amazing assistance.” —Jason Broman, Moana Museum
Tourient is the right choice if...
Tourient's flat $75–195/month pricing includes unlimited tours and stops. Convo Audio Tours published price is three times as much, and caps you at 3 tours; scaling up means a custom quote.
Tourient's 18+ content blocks, including quizzes, polls, 3D models, and GIS maps, go well beyond what Convo's audio-and-Q&A format supports.
Tourient's GPS wayfinding is built for walking, biking, or driving tours across a campus or region, in addition to indoor mobile guides. Convo is designed around indoor, single-site museum experiences.
Convo Audio Tours is the right choice if...
If you have a library of catalogs, PDFs, and curator notes but no interest in doing work yourself, Convo's AI drafting can shortcut that process.
At $600/month and up, Convo costs several times more than Tourient; it's a better fit if your institution can absorb that cost for AI-assisted production. And if you want Convo's signature Voice Q&A feature, that costs several times more than the base plan.
