10 tours online for 3 years: what does each tool cost?
Virtuaaa is the cheapest: $10 per tour, $7 in the pack of 10, paid once, the first one free. The other tools with both a dollhouse and a 3D move charge by the month or the year.
Published prices on 6 November 2026. Virtuaaa: pack of 10 tours at $70, up to 150 panoramas each. Metareal Professional: CAD 63.24 a year for 10 tours. PanoCool Cool: $7.50 a month, billed $90 a year. Realsee: 120 credits a year, 2 packs of 60 at $153. Matterport Professional: $90 a month, billed $1,080 a year, for 10 spaces. For a single tour, the free plans of Matterport and Metareal also cost nothing.
What should you look at in 3D tour software?
- The movement. You click on the floor and the view moves through the room, or the next panorama fades in.
- The dollhouse and the plan. Computed by the software, made by hand by its service, or missing.
- The price over time. A tour paid once, or a subscription to keep up for the tour to stay online.
- Your files. Any camera, or only the brand's own; a tour you can download, or hosted only by the publisher.
