Can I purchase iOS (iPhone/iPad), Mac, or Android apps in bulk?

Good news!
Apple and Google provide organizational tools that can make it straightforward for schools, businesses, and other organizations to purchase and distribute our apps to iOS, Mac, and Android users.
Where the stores support it, we also designate our apps for the maximum educational discount available through their programs.
With the exception of Safelog subscriptions, which are discussed separately below, iOS, Mac, and Android apps are purchased through Apple or Google rather than directly from Dauntless.
If your organization wants to purchase apps for multiple users:
-
Businesses, schools, and other organizations can generally purchase and distribute our iOS, Mac, and Android apps using Apple's or Google's organizational purchasing systems.
-
This is different from our Microsoft Windows PC software, which can be purchased directly from us through our Bulk Purchase Page.
-
Your organization will need an appropriate organizational account with Apple and/or Google. Many schools and companies already have this set up, so it is worth checking with your IT department, purchasing department, or administrator first.
-
If your organization is not yet set up, the following are useful starting points:
- iPhone, iPad, and Mac: search for "Apple IT Zero Touch Deployment" and Apple's current organizational deployment and purchasing options.
- Android: search for "Managed Google Play".
-
Once your organization is configured, you can locate our apps through the appropriate Apple or Google system and distribute them to your students, pilots, employees, or customers.
Apple and Google handle these transactions directly.
Dauntless does not control the organizational purchasing process, eligibility requirements, pricing rules, account setup, or distribution mechanisms within their systems.
Organizations that have these systems properly configured generally tell us that distribution is straightforward once the initial setup is complete.
What about Safelog?
Safelog works somewhat differently. We can sell Safelog subscriptions directly in bulk. Your pilots or other users can then use those subscriptions with the free Safelog apps available for iOS, Mac, Android, and other supported platforms.
Please visit our Bulk Purchase Page for Safelog bulk-subscription information and pricing.
What if my organization cannot obtain an Apple or Google organizational account?
Apple and Google have made organizational deployment considerably more accessible over time, so it is worth investigating their current options carefully, even if you represent a relatively small organization.
If you have confirmed that an organizational account is not practical for you, there are still several possibilities:
-
Individual purchases: Students or other users can purchase our apps themselves through their own Apple App Store or Google Play accounts. You can direct them to our website, where they can find links to the appropriate official app-store versions.
-
Customized school or company portal: If you regularly send students or customers to our products, we may be able to create a customized portal for your organization that can integrate naturally with your own website and branding.
We have done this for numerous schools and companies, and there is normally very little work required on your side. We do not charge for setting this up. Please contact us if you are interested.
-
Apple gifting: For a moderate number of users, Apple's app-gifting options may also be useful. You can read Apple's information about gifting apps here. If that page changes, search for "gifting an Apple App Store app."
-
Google Play gifting: Google does not always provide the same straightforward gifting process as Apple. Searching for "Google Play gift an app" may provide current options and third-party guidance.
In short:
- For Windows PC software, purchase bulk licenses directly from Dauntless.
- For most iOS, Mac, and Android apps, use Apple's or Google's organizational purchasing systems.
- For Safelog subscriptions, we can sell bulk subscriptions directly to your organization.
- If your organization needs another arrangement, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss the practical options.
