Tourient, a Smartify Alternative
Smartify and Tourient are similar tour-building platforms with a shared focus on accessibility, ease of use, and visitor engagement for museums and other cultural organizations.
Tourient lets you create as many tours as you want, with as many stops as you need. Smartify limits how many tours you can create and share.
Smartify includes text, images, audio, and quizzes. Tourient takes your storytelling power to the next level with maps, embeds, polls, games, and more.
Smartify charges over $2000 for custom branding, while it's included on all Tourient plans for no extra fee.
Tourient and Smartify both include text to speech. Tourient also includes transcript generation and ALT text writing tools.
Both Tourient and Smartify include an opt-in offline mode that downloads text, images, and audio for use without an internet connection.
“We have used Tourient to transfer two previous tours — one on CD and one on a website. The tours are so easy to use, and that is feedback I've gotten from people of many ages and abilities.” —Torii Moré, McLean County Museum of History
Smartify costs twice as much to five times as much as Tourient, for a near-identical set of features.
Tourient includes built-in sponsorship placements in prominent locations, and in-map local offers or coupons.
Tourient includes import and export tools for data portability, and no long-term contracts mean you're free to leave at any time. Smartify locks you in to a minimum one-year contract, and lacks import-export tools.
Tourient is designed for organizations building bespoke visitor experiences, while Smartify works similarly to Bloomberg Connects, in that all client tours are housed in one app. If you have no resources or willingness to market your tour, Smartify's built in explore features may make it a better fit.
Tourient uses your choice of QR codes, keypad numbers, or GPS maps for wayfinding. If you want visitors to point their camera at an object and scan it to view more information, Smartify may be a better fit.
Tourient also lets you sell access to tours, but it’s not tightly integrated into the app experience like with Smartify.
Tourient and Smartify offer near-identical features, but they set themselves apart when it comes to price. Smartify's Starter plan costs twice as much as Tourient, and its Unlimited plan costs 5x more.
