Which Virtual Tour Software Should You Use? [Free & Paid]

[@KNESBEY]

Hey this is an awesome video. You've definitely helped me narrow down which programs to consider. Just FYI, some of your video chapter markers are way off. Here's what I found. Intro 00:00 Orbix360 01:10 Klapty 03:05 Kuula 04:41 Discontinued 07:00 Ricoh Theta 08:20 Tourmake 10:30 Matterport 14:00 Metareal 18:05 Kuula Pro 21:30 Pano2VR 22:35 3D Vista 25:00

[@mariamanzorealtor]

Thank you for making this comprehensive comparisons. I'm getting started and was just looking at software to create the 360° tours. This really helped me decide what I'm going to start with and what to upgrade to later.

[@xPureL]

Great, but curious which one(s) you decided to use?

[@HDBnB1]

Yea what did you end up going with?

Hi! My name is Eduardo. I'm talking about Brazil. Whenever I can, I watch your videos. I just bought my first insta 360 camera. I'm really excited. I loved your video sharing information about free sites for virtual tours. Thank you very much!

[@sssddd3928]

Can someone tell me in which of these softwares you can download your tour to your computer and then upload it to your own site, so it is not linked to a metareal url (for example)? Thanks

[@Ydooo]

Did you find an answer

[@kissenjee]

I am also want to know the same....not getting confusion cleared...

[@markdatuin2057]

3D Vista Pro

[@itsurrexboy]

using 360 Vista you can store the files in local directory then you can host manually

[@Beauty.and.FashionPhotographer]

How about this combo: iPhone camera, a free app, a free virtual tour website.... I believe for people, who only need to do one single appartement, the purchase of a 360 camera is not an option at all.no matter if the hosting VT website is free.

[@shouftas]

Tourbuzz now does 360 virtual tours (Under Ubanimmersive). I like their service because they also create the floor plan and have the feel and look of Matterport. I tested their service out on my property and really like the outcome. The only downside is the accuracy of measurements in the floor plan. it was way off. But you can change the measurements thankfully. They however don't have an option to hide the live measuring tool which I am hoping they will adjust on the software. I am thinking of doing my own measuring on site, and filling that gap. They are fairly new in the game, but I was quite impressed with the start.

[@ericgfx01]

have a link to your demo?

[@daniellauwers5642]

The Addons "Hotspot", "Image" and "Text" are not available for public in the free version!

[@AlonsoParejawee]

Thank you! Apparently the one that fits my needs is the 3D Vista. Tho the price is quite expensive but worth it. My impression with Matterport is that it makes you buy more stuff in order to complete the virtual tour. I'm new to this so my question is, hosting the virtual tour is a long process? or how does it work? Just asking for experiences, thank you!

[@eduardorusso5612]

I am looking for a virtual tour program that includes both internal tours with a focus on real estate, as well as external ones, focused on aerial panoramic photography, as I have drones and some 360 ​​cameras.

[@aroundtheblock_carnie.]

I tried Kuula's free option based on the review, but it turns out the "free" option is completely useless as soon as you try to share your VT with anyone. You can only share the photos, no adjustments or even the hotspots.

Hi, Nice and helpful video. I have been doing some testing with the VR headsets(Oculus Quest1) with Kuula Pro and have found the walkthrough keeps freezing and is very clunky. Do you recommend a program that is good for doing this as Kuula keeps blacking out. Is there a way to export the walkthrough so I can install it onto the VR headset? I.e. install the walkthrough locally on the VR headset. Everything works well when viewing on a desktop screen. Thank you & Cheers Murray

Hi, I'm trying to get into this "business". I already choosed the camera (the Trisio 2 Lite) but I really don't know which software to use. Matterport is a no go cause Trisio 2 Lite is not on the compatible cameras list. Metareal it's awesome, but I'm afraid it will be really a big time eater. Kuula pro looks quite good, 3d Vista seems amazing. My clients I think will be mostly real estate agents. Which one would be better for me? I'm already in photo/video editing world, if that matter :P Thank you!

Kuula would be a "best" option, but they have discontinued sharing free tours through their platform. Looks like you can create the tour and view it yourself, but you can't make it public with a free account any more. Darn!

Kolor created Autopano Pro later renamed Autopano Giga. It was one of the best pano stitching software. Later they created Panotour Pro an excellent software to create virtual tours. I owned both. They then created a video virtual tour software that GoPro wanted for their GoPro Max. So GoPro bought Kolor and adapted the video tour software To ther liking and then killed Kolor. So now my two expensive software packages are end of life.

Thanks for the nice video that you prepared... Based on my 6 year experience in VR production, I can disagree with some of your points when you compare some of the VR software that you mention in your video. However, most of the statements in the video were correct. The only obvious mistake that you made at the end is your claim that none of the software have stand alone app for VR headsets. Matterport have one, one that can be used with a Google cardboard (with your mobile phone) and also there is an Matterport app in the Oculus environment, where you can even see your spaces offline (with some workaround).
