Pricing FAQs

What is included in the annual package?

Your selected feature package, Grandstand Admin access, and the selected publishing path are included. Optional setup and add-ons are priced separately.

How does a branded app differ from a container app?

A branded app uses your name and icon in app stores. With container delivery, visitors open a supported Grandstand app and select your experience.

Is design or content setup included?

Self-service design and content loading cost $0. Optional one-time assistance is listed above; package features do not silently include those services.

Can I change packages later?

Contact our team to review the package change, timing, pricing, and any publishing work before making a change.

Can I move from a container app to my own branded app?

Ask our team to review app-store accounts, timing, submission requirements, and the applicable annual price.

Are there separate developer-account requirements or charges?

Branded publishing may require Apple and Google developer accounts and their separate terms or charges. Container delivery does not require your own developer account.

How does annual renewal work?

Packages are priced annually. Confirm renewal dates, current terms, and any changes with your quote or agreement.

Does the app work without cell service or Wi-Fi?

Yes. Grandstand’s native apps store downloaded content on the device, allowing visitors to keep using nearly all core app content without an internet connection. Visitors should download and open the app while connected before attending. A connection is needed to receive new content updates, push notifications, and access features that depend on online services.

Can I use the app for multiple events or year-round?

Many teams keep content current throughout the year. Multi-event structure and limits depend on the chosen package; confirm your intended use with our team.

How does the free trial work?

Use the Build & Launch page to begin the currently available trial and review its terms before publishing.

How far ahead should I plan my launch?

Timing depends on content readiness, design, delivery choice, and app-store review. Review Build & Launch and discuss your target date with our team.

Can visitors explore exhibits at their own pace?

Yes. Searchable exhibit listings, maps, favorites, and supported self-guided activities let visitors choose what to explore. Available formats and limits depend on the package.

Which packages support audio tours?

Gold includes one dedicated audio tour with up to ten stops, Platinum includes up to three tours with up to twenty stops each, and Titanium has customized tour capacity. Audio attached directly to listings or map pins is available in Platinum and Titanium.

Can we include maps for multiple floors or buildings?

Yes. Gold, Platinum, and Titanium include the map switcher for moving between floor or building maps. Maps guide discovery but do not provide automatic indoor positioning.

Can we update content when exhibitions change?

Yes. Your team can update supported listings, schedules, maps, and visitor information in Grandstand Admin, subject to package limits. Optional content-loading assistance is priced separately.

Can one app support multiple museum locations?

Yes. Titanium includes a selector for up to five locations so visitors can filter the app experience to their selected museum location.
