Audio guide app or rental devices? Here is what actually changes

Zero devices to sanitize, charge or replace: visitors use their own smartphone.

From €99/month, or pay-per-use from €1.

How it works

How amuseapp's audio guide works for your venue

01

Send us your materials

Share the materials you already have: texts, room sheets, notes. You don't need to create anything from scratch.

02

amuseagent processes the content

In just a few minutes, our AI agent creates different itineraries for every type of visitor: families, experts, people short on time, people with sensory disabilities.

03

Review and publication

The content is reviewed by the amuseapp team and by you. Only then is the audio guide published for visitors.

amuseapp means flexibility, ease of use, professional support. Visitors explore independently with their own smartphone: end-of-tour feedback is consistently very positive.

Frequently asked questions about the comparison

No. Visitors use their own smartphone (QR code, app or web app): zero hardware to buy, sanitize or recharge. Only indoor beacon navigation (Premium plan) requires dedicated hardware, not included in the subscription.

No, it's not required: amuseapp also works as a web app, opened directly in the browser after scanning a QR code. Those who prefer the native app can find it on the App Store and Google Play.

Subscription plans start at €99/month (Light, up to 2,500 accesses/year) up to €699/month (Premium, 25,000 accesses/year). A pay-per-use option is also available from €1/use, or prepaid credit packages from €1,000, valid 24 months. Setup, content creation and amuseagent are always included.
