FAQ
Questions, answered warmly.
Whether you’re planning a trip with friends or evaluating Visby for Hotels, here are the basics.
Is Visby free?
Visby is free to start on the web. Optional in-app purchases unlock extras like Aura packs or subscriptions. The iPhone app is coming soon — you can optionally leave your email for a launch ping.
Can we plan a trip together?
Yes. Invite friends or family into a shared trip board, share tastes, vote on stays, food, and activities, and ask Visby to build a plan that fits the group.
What can I learn in Visby?
Country journeys walk you through a place stage by stage. Culture bites are short facts tied to streets, food, and finds. Skills cover food, culture, history, and language-adjacent threads with light review so it sticks.
Is Visby good for families?
Yes. Learning stays short and warm — journeys, bites, stamps, and a companion — so curiosity feels like play, not a worksheet. Grown-ups get the same calm discovery for trips and nearby culture.
Does Visby work for hotels?
Visby for Hotels is a guest OS — before, during, and after the stay. Put booking widgets on your website, link out with a lobby QR, or add an optional named App Store app later. You keep about 93% of paid checkout.
Do hotels need their own app?
No. Widgets on your site and lobby QR / booking links are enough to go live. Guests continue on their phone into your branded stay — no separate hotel app download. A named App Store listing is optional later; Visby can help you ship it.
Do guests need a separate hotel app?
No. Guests scan a lobby QR or booking link and continue on their phone into your branded stay. They do not need to download Visby. Travelers who already have Visby can open that app — the stay still feels like your hotel. A named App Store listing is optional later; Visby can handle it.
How much does Visby take on hotel checkout?
Visby earns 7% on paid checkout for rooms and extras. Hotels keep about 93%. Typical OTA room commissions often run 15–25%.
