Visitors scan, the browser opens, the audio plays. No App Store. No install. No storage used. Works on every phone, immediately.
STQRY and similar platforms require visitors to install a native app before accessing audio guides. Research shows most visitors — especially older adults — skip it entirely. A QR code that opens in the browser removes that barrier instantly.
STQRY users report that rotating a device during video playback causes the video to restart from the beginning. Our mobile-optimized pages preserve playback state across orientation changes.
STQRY limits each stop to a single audio recording. Museums often need multiple narrators, language tracks, or accessibility-focused audio descriptions. Our landing pages support unlimited audio embeds per code.
App-based guides download content to the device, consuming storage that visitors don't want to give up. Browser-based guides stream on-demand and leave no trace after the visit.
No OS version requirement. No App Store approval delay. No compatibility issues. A visitor scans, the browser opens, the content plays. Works on a three-year-old Android as well as a new iPhone.
STQRY's standard plan caps the number of tours per app. Lifetime QR Codes are priced per code — one per exhibit stop — with no cap on how many tours you build or how many stops they contain.
