Tourient: a DriftScape Alternative
DriftScape is a self-guided tour builder with limited features, a confusing CMS, and is not compliant with accessibility laws. Tourient's expansive feature set, award-winning app, commitment to accessibility, and well-reviewed customer support make it the right choice if you're looking for a self-guided experience your visitors will actually use.
Tourient doesn't place arbitrary limits on the number of tours you can create, or the number of visitors that are allowed to view your tour.
DriftScape supports just 3 languages, while Tourient handles 64 languages and includes built-in translation tools.
Create QR codes, simple social posts, exhibit labels, access codes, and generate ALT text, all in the CMS.
Tourient includes built-in text to speech tools to generate audio from transcripts in any language, while DriftScape only supports uploading your own audio.
Tourient gives you full control over colors and fonts with custom themes on each tour, while DriftScape lacks branding capabilities.
“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 Ministries
