Matterport alternatives: 11 virtual tour tools compared
People searching for a Matterport alternative usually meet one of three limits: the capture needs Matterport's own camera or a phone scan tied to its platform, the plan details sit behind a sign-up, or the product is wider than a listing tour needs. Alternatives range from hosting-only services to desktop software you buy once.
Short answer: Where a category has smaller vendors worth recommending, they occupy the first three places and the big brands come below them. For Matterport users, the top three picks from our virtual tour software ranking are Lapentor, 3DVista and Kuula. Pick Lapentor if you want a hosted tour with a way to take the files and run them yourself. All 11 alternatives below are ranked products from Best Virtual Tour Software in 2026, and each says where it differs from Matterport.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Pricing: Plans page shows no amounts in the text read; account sign-up offered

01
Why buyers look past Matterport
01
Pricing sits behind the account
Matterport's pricing menu leads to no page we could read: the address we tried returned a 404 and the homepage text names no plan or amount. Its camera page does mention Free, Professional and Enterprise plans plus legacy ones, but not what they cost. Buyers who budget first look at vendors that publish limits.
02
The best cameras need a paid plan
Matterport lists two cameras, Pro3 and Pro2, and marks the Pro3 as incompatible with its Free plan. High density scanning, E57 files and BIM files appear on the Pro3 column. For someone who only wants to publish panoramas, that is a lot of platform to enter.
03
Data sits on US and Australian processors
The trust page says the infrastructure runs on AWS and that sub-processors are in the United States and Australia. It also offers a data processing addendum covering GDPR. European organisations with strict residency rules should read that list before choosing, and compare it with vendors that let you host tours yourself.

What each one does differently

Lapentor
Not stated by the vendor · Published
Lapentor publishes a free plan capped at three projects with 15 panoramas each, and a Premium plan lifting both limits. Its distinctive offer is an exit: pay once per project, download it and host it yourself while still editing. Projects beyond the cap are locked after a downgrade. The vendor states no country and no trial.
Switch from Matterport if you want a hosted tour with a way to take the files and run them yourself.
3DVista sells Virtual Tour PRO as desktop software for Windows and Mac, paid once. Tours can run offline or on a server you control, and a 30-day trial works fully apart from a watermark. You build and publish yourself unless you add its optional cloud hosting. Store amounts were not visible in the page text we read.
Switch from Matterport if you would rather buy software once and publish tours from your own server.
Kuula runs Basic, Pro, Business and Enterprise tiers. Basic is free up to 300 posts and 100 uploads a month; Pro allows 100,000 posts with custom branding, and Business adds your own domain. The company says subscriptions fund it instead of advertising. Paid plans renew automatically, and the price fields showed no amounts when we read them.
Switch from Matterport if you only need to host and embed panoramas and want a capped free start.
Panoee gives a free plan with unlimited projects, 3 GB of storage and a Panoee sub-domain. A pay-as-you-go tier bills only in months when a premium tour is public, while PRO adds custom domains, password protection and Google Street View publishing. Its Enterprise figures contradict each other on the page, so get terms in writing.
Switch from Matterport if tours are seasonal and you want to pay only for the months they are public.
iGUIDE charges per scanned property instead of per seat. Entry products cost under ten dollars a project and drawing packages more, in Canadian or US dollars, with no monthly fee and no storage limits stated. Fees follow billable square footage, and properties above 10,000 sq ft need a call with a specialist.
Switch from Matterport if you scan a few properties a month and prefer a fee per job to a subscription.
CloudPano hosts the tours itself on annual tiers. Pro includes three published projects; unlimited projects, white-label with your own URL and dollhouse views begin at Pro Plus, and password protection, lead capture and Google Analytics sit on Commercial. The page shows two different starting prices for Pro, so confirm the figure with the vendor.
Switch from Matterport if you want a hosted dollhouse view with your own branding on the link.
EyeSpy360 offers a Pay As You Go plan with per-image and per-property fees, though the amounts were blank on the page we read. The monthly route is EyeSpy Plus 1 at 12.99 USD for three agents and three profiles. It shows offices in London and New York and names no owner or trial.
Switch from Matterport if you run a small agency and want to price tours by the agent.
Giraffe360 behaves like a property media studio, with listing videos, virtual staging, AI image enhancement and social posts around the tour. Plans cap projects per year at 24 on the first and 60 on Plus, and a camera plan allows up to 40 a month. Amounts and currency are absent from its pricing page.
Switch from Matterport if you want one supplier for the camera, the tour and the listing media.
Immoviewer starts from automated video creation, then offers 360 tours, floor plans drawn by AI without measuring, and landing pages generated from a listing feed. The dollhouse can switch floors and textures off. Plans, amounts and any trial are missing from the page we read, and regional sites cover five countries.
Switch from Matterport if your listings feed already exists and you want videos and floor plans produced from it.
Cupix converts 360 video into 3D maps and sells a SiteInsights add-on that compares work with design and schedule. It links to BIM360, Autodesk Forma, Procore and Revizto. The company is Cupix Inc. in Seongnam-si, South Korea, per its footer. The pricing page lists no amounts, trial length or limits.
Switch from Matterport if your use is construction progress tracking rather than selling property.
Realsee sells pay-as-you-go credits beside hardware, including the Galois P4 3D LiDAR scanner listed at 7499 with the currency unstated. One scan yields point clouds, 3D models, CAD, floor plans and panoramas, with Street View and website embedding. A Hong Kong address is given, and the trial has no stated length.
Switch from Matterport if you want to buy a LiDAR scanner and pay for processing by credit.
You want to keep the tour files and host them yourself
Lapentor: A one-time fee per project lets you download it and run it yourself, and edits stay possible afterwards.
02
You would rather buy software once than rent a platform
3DVista: Virtual Tour PRO is a one-time purchase for Windows and Mac, with a 30-day trial that carries a watermark.
03
You pay only when a tour is public
Panoee: The pay-as-you-go tier bills only in months when a premium tour is public, and the free plan includes 3 GB.
04
You scan the odd property and want a fee per job
iGUIDE: Entry products cost under ten dollars a project, with no monthly fee stated.
05
You track construction progress from 360 video
Cupix: It builds 3D maps from 360 video and links to Procore, Autodesk Forma and Revizto.
04
When Matterport is still the right choice
Matterport stays the sensible choice when you need measured capture, not just photography. Its Pro3 camera is described with LiDAR, accuracy of plus or minus 20 mm, and outputs including floor plans, E57 and BIM files, and the construction pages name Procore and Autodesk integrations. The trust page lists SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 reports and SAML single sign-on, which matter to larger buyers. A phone-only tool will not match that.
05
What moving off Matterport involves
01
Tour links and embeds will change
Every share link and embed code on your own website, listings and emails points at Matterport. List where each lives before cancelling, and plan to replace them one by one on the new host.
02
Check what you can take with you
Matterport's camera page lists E57, BIM and MatterPak outputs, but we did not read an export policy for cancelled accounts. Ask what you can download, and in which format, before your plan lapses. Rebuilt tours may look different, and floor plans may need redrawing.
06
Questions about replacing Matterport
6 answers
What does Matterport cost?
We could not confirm amounts. The pricing address returned a 404 when we tried it, and the homepage and camera pages name plans (Free, Professional, Enterprise, and legacy ones) without prices. Ask sales or check the cart on the vendor site.
Is there a free Matterport account?
The homepage offers a Start Free button that leads to a registration page. That page was blocked for our checks, and the camera page says the Pro3 does not work with the Free plan, so the free tier has limits.
Which Matterport alternatives are hosting services for panoramas?
Kuula, Panoee, Lapentor and CloudPano describe themselves around hosting and publishing tours, with limits by plan. We did not verify which cameras each accepts, so check supported inputs before buying.
Can I run tours on my own server?
3DVista says tours can run offline or on your own server, and Lapentor sells a one-time per-project download. Both leave hosting and updates to you.
Which alternative suits construction sites?
Cupix turns 360 video into 3D maps and links to Procore, Autodesk Forma and Revizto. Realsee supplies a LiDAR scanner, and Matterport itself names Procore and Autodesk.
Where does Matterport store data?
Its trust page says the service runs on AWS, with sub-processors in the United States and Australia, and offers a data processing addendum for GDPR.
