Why choose Tourient over STQRY?

STQRY and Tourient offer a comparable set of features. While STQRY includes a lengthy list of impressive features, it's not intentionally designed to meet the self guided tour needs of small organizations. With Tourient, you get the features you actually need—and want—whilst saving money.

Dynamic, interactive tour content

Create tours with dynamic content like polls, quizzes, before/after comparisons, and maps. And embed anything into your Tourient app.

Built for sponsors, not selling.

Give your sponsors something to put their name on by linking a sponsor to any part of your Tourient app: local ads, stops, tours, or the entire platform.

Save thousands of dollars per year

In addition to features that help you save (and make) money, Tourient is roughly half the price of STQRY's closest comparable plan.

AAM-accredited history museums trust Tourient for their award-winning self-guided tours and narratives.

“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

Tourient is the right choice if...

Tourient brings QR code generation, exhibit-label production, ALT text and meta description generation, text-to-speech, transcription, a publication readiness checker, and data import/export tools into the tour-management workflow. All of that saves your staff time every time you create or update a tour.

STQRY offers several of the same tools.

Tourient has no limits on tours—whether you have 2 or 2,000—there's room to grow. STQRY's plans limit you to 10 or 25 tours per app.

Tourient includes AI-based tools that speed up the tour-building workflow, and help you make the most of the resources you have. They know that AI without institutional context can build a plausible-sounding tour, but that doesn't mean it's a good tour. STQRY is moving toward AI operating the tour-building platform autonomously.

Tourient goes beyond custom logos and theme colors with fully customizable interface colors, fonts, logos, and even domain names, to align your self guided tours with your organization or exhibit branding. STQRY offers an editable color scheme, logo, and a custom domain for an additional fee.

STQRY is the right choice if...

You can use hidden tours to control access via sales made elsewhere using Tourient, but we don't have dedicated tools to handle in-app purchases. If that's something you need, STQRY may be the right option for you.

Tourient is a web app. It works on iOS, Android, and other platforms through the browser, or can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA). STQRY is also a web app, but offers a native app add-on. If that's something you need, STQRY may be the right choice.

Geofences and Bluetooth beacons are only available in native iOS and Android apps, which aren't something Tourient offers. If you need these, STQRY could be the right choice.

Straightforward pricing.

When you don't need a native app, Tourient provides everything you need to build and share straightforward, accessible audio tours for about half the price of STQRY.
