Admission

Each plan includes all features. Pick your size.

Audio, video, games, translations, donations, surveys and analytics are in all three. The only thing that changes is how many objects you publish — so you pay for the size of your collection, not for the features you are allowed to use.

Before you decide

What is Footnote and how does it work?

Footnote is two things: a dashboard your team uses to publish content about the objects in your space, and the experience your visitors get when they scan a code beside one.

You upload the story, photographs, audio, video and translations for an object. We give you a QR code to put on the label. A visitor points their camera at it and the content opens in their browser — nothing to download, no account to make.

Do visitors have to download an app?

No. Scanning the code opens everything in the phone's own browser, which is how most visitors will use it.

There is a free Footnote app for visitors who want one — it remembers the places they have been and lets them browse collections between visits — but nothing on your labels depends on it.

How do I sign up?

If you are an institution, start a free trial and you can be publishing the same day. If you would rather be walked through it, book a demo and we will build one of your objects with you on the call.

Can I try Footnote for free?

Yes. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial, so you can get started without commitment.

The visitor app is free for visitors, always.

What features are included in the free trial?

All of them. The trial gives you the full plan you select and does not hold features back.

What is the difference between the plans?

Only how many objects you can publish. Every plan includes every feature — audio, video, games, translations, donations, surveys and analytics are not held back for larger plans.
