I'm just voting for Matterport. It's just easier. Sure there are limitations to the system (nadar, editing) but it's much less work than other plattforms, where you need to stitch all Pano-shots by yourself. and so: The price is lower because you need less time to build a tour.
@@pillowg1rl building the tour yourself will take you around 2-3 hours. It is most definitely not worth paying hundreds of dollars every year to save 2-3 hrs per tour.
@@Z-add well. I got it calculated, that I'll give the monthly costs directly to my customers. So I'll don't get dragged down by the monthly fee. So matterport is just still easier for me :D
Hi @Ben Claremont I’ve been using Matterport for about a year now and we started with the basic 360 cams then purchased their Matterport Pro 2 camera. I just wanted to put out there a couple thoughts for you and those who watch this video. 1) Most of the cons (aside from price) that you listed with the Matterport platform (curved walls, etc.) are corrected with the Pro 2. The Pro 2 has LiDAR built in to measure the spaces as you capture it. The basic 360 cams do not have the same features and therefore have the issues you mentioned. 2) while yes, it is recommended that you take shots every 5-8 feet and must maintain line of sight with the previous shot, once you’ve captured the space with the Pro 2 or a 360 cam in the app, you just upload to the Matterport cloud which then does all of the editing for you as part of your subscription. You don’t have to do any of the 3D editing you mentioned. 3) Matterport has a built in suite of editing tools built into the Matterport cloud software. While it doesn’t let you recolor photos or things like that (that is often corrected by using additional lighting while capturing) it does let you do a number of other things like his scan points, take still photos to use elsewhere (like a Facebook promo for your project, etc.) they are also continually developing the editing suite. One of the features to come is a blurring tool that will allow you to blur anything captured in your shots that shouldn’t be visible by just anyone. 4) you can measure things in rooms and generate sketches from the Matterport platform, but for these features to work, you must have the Pro cam. While the Metareal pricing is very attractive, the Matterport software is very robust and does offer a lot of perks for its cost (especially when paired with a Pro cam.) I could say more, but I hope that is all helpful. In full transparency, we have used other 3D/360 platforms and cams in the past and found Matterport to be the best. Thanks for the comparison!
12:00 "Metareal will make the tour for you whereas with Matterport, you have to do it yourself." I'm not sure what you are talking about here. With Matterport, I just take the pictures and upload them. Matterport stitches everything together on their server and just tells me when it is done. But still looks great!! Thanks for sharing this option.
@@vonnearnelgonce6523 - yeah, but the video is pushing the fact they will create them for you. If they create them for you, it is stupid expensive compared to Matterport. If they dont create them for you, then its no different than any other software.
Jon Lucas well I think it comes to how many you are doing per month and whether they are virtual tours for companies that will stay up for a long time taking up a slot vs real estate that turns over. All those things make a difference in what you need out of a platform.
Love Matterport, it WORKS WELL!!! no issues and is spotless to use for a noob! like me. I jumped on Metareal and looked at a couple of their demos, they were very flakey and would often not click the direction I clicked if the camera was naturally moving slowly left or right.. The Doll house feature did not appear on a few of them and when it appeared on 1, outside the dollhouse was the interiors wrapped as a background, I assume thats a bug. So Right off the bat I could not get the same experience at Matterport which as I said was seamless on small and large settings equally. Yes I agree price is better and I like the idea of uploading and having them do the virtual tour for me, pretty cool. I think it is just development time, hopefully in 12 months they are smooth like matterport, and then you have a clear winner.
O... M... G!!! What an INCREDIBLE post Ben!!! I can't tell you how ecstatic I am to see this. I've been scouting endlessly for an alternative to the famous Matterport dollhouse. I can't stand Matterport... between their inflated subscription prices, closed ended editing process, and mediocre 3D tour quality (I shoot DSLR's), the only thing they had really going for them was that freaking dollhouse! They're also notorious for trying to poach clients away from their subscribers. I've been trying to avoid them like the plague, but they're just so ingrained in the real estate market and their 3D scanning (dollhouse) feature is pretty cool and often asked for. I'm signing up and trying this out today and I hope this software gains some traction!
Great video again Ben. BUT EyeSpy360 also has a Do It For You Option to create a dollhouse and floorplan - and it's cheaper at $1 per photo. It's $20 / month plus $15 month for up to 15 photos to create the tour, floorplan and dollhouse for you. And then you can add text, photo and video hotspots, etc.I haven't used them yet, but am considering it for the 3 properties I need to shoot next week. My hesitation is depending on someone else to get it done quickly and that they only host real estate tours. I'm looking to create tours of outdoor spaces lie local parks. So I'm waffling a bit.
It's cheaper to build EyeSpy360 tours because they aren't really 3D. If you compare this EyeSpy360 tour, for example: www.eyespy360.com/en-us/feature/EyeSpyPLAN.html and one of our tours here: www.metareal.com/gallery/, you'll see EyeSpy360 doesn't have 3D navigation or real 3D models. So it takes a bit more effort to build Metareal tours, because we're actually 3D, thus the higher cost per pano.
Hi Ben, i have been following you for a long time. I really want to start making 360° tours for businesses. All I really need is an overview of the ways business owners can integrate the tour into their website. There are many different ways. But which are the easiest to build? Fastest to sell? Best to show potential clients? Making the tour is just the start!
Hi Ben, thanks for pointing out this alternative. Two things I don't get: 1. "Do it for me" - Matterport does everything automatically, doesn't it? What is the advantage here? 2. Haven't you been promoting cupix as the best Matterport alternative? My issue with Matterport is not the pricing. It is the lack of control, being forced to shoot through the Matterport app in automatic mode, no HDR-DNGs, no manual correction of bad connections, etc. Cubix looks the most promising (according to you) if I want higher image quality and better control, while still creating a proper virtual model. Does that still hold up? I am lot looking for a CHEAPER Matterport, I am looking for a BETTER one. Any thoughts?
Thanks for sharing Ben! The Metareal dollhouse blows MP away, and that alone sells me! Then add the floor plans and the inexpensive "built it for you" options and I'm sold! I still prefer the way 3D tours look vs. the 360 degree static image, but I'm certainly going to give Metareal a try with a real estate shoot today! BTW, you treat yourself well with those accommodations! :p
Thank you Ben. We're adding 360 to our real estate business. This is helpful. Your background music is awesome. I know you shared you got it from epidemic sound. Can you share the genre or even more specifically the track you used for this video? If not I understand. Awesome video nonetheless. Thank you.
Thank you for this review of Metareal. As a real estate agent, I have only used Matterport for higher-end listings due to the cost. I now have a 360 camera (Insta360 One X)and was hoping to find a way to do these tours myself. I will definitely check out Metareal. Thank you for all the videos you do.
Were you able to get this to work? Metareal won't process my Insta360 One X photos... saying the double fish eye photos need to be converted to a panorama
BEN!!!!!!!! Hi There ! As always, thank you very much for that magnificent video. I tried to use it ... But it's not for professionals. He still has aspects to improve. 1. Is the base set in CMS WORDPRES? 2. Interface design ... Antihumans - Deathdestruction 3. Documentation or tutorials are not exposed well I hope they improve .. You know, we professionals cannot risk even with this.
Great Video Ben, I just bought my first 360 cameria. How do you charge businesses if you have to keep their tours online for years? Do you charge them a yearly fee?
It really depends on the client ; I usually recommend most of our customers to charge atleast 20-100$ as hosting fees if they are long term customer like muesuems etc. but with real estate there is high churn.
Hi there, I have a Matterport Pro2 and I want to try Metareal but I am not sure how I actually take the photos and scans outside of the Matterport app. I am a beginner and haven't branched out beyond Matterport but I am really interested in Metareal. Is there another video you can point me to so I can figure out how to utilize my Matterport on Metareal?
TY for posting this, Ben! Stubbled across your channel a few months ago and you consistently post quality content! Finding it a really helpful resource as I grow my fledgling business.
Hi Ben, great video! what is the best (user friendly + image quality) 360 camera on the market today specially for property virtual tours and that can easily be used with Metareal? cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing the info with us. Can we build ourselves? Which camera did you use?. Can we use any 360 camera ? By the way, Your work looks great.
I tried Matterport today for the first time, using an Insta360 ONE R camera to capture everything. But the quality is completely ass, is Matterport deliberately dumbing down the quality of my 360 images? I see no option on how to adjust the resolution once the stuff is uploaded. If that is the case, I'm jumping over to Metareal.
Seems great. Just wish it was as quick and easy as matterport. Much more work involved. Hitting the upload button in matterport and forgetting about it is still a massive pro.
Vertical Media I believe having them do the tour for you for such small fee, beats the hefty monthly fee from MP... just saying...the quality of the dollhouse is far superior to that one from MP, my totally unbiased opinion after seeing them side by side on the video...
Thank you for super fine video. How many pic. was taken for the demo here and what was the cost to get the Company to make the projekt for you? What is the Price for the complete gear? Kind regards from Morten
Another amazing video Ben. I tried Metareal when it first came out, and didn't go any further because as you said, for commercial tours the hotspots just weren't good enough. I am doing more real estate tours now, so I am definitely going to be looking into this again!! Hope you're keeping well. 👍
Cheers Nick, yeah they’ve come a long way! Would definitely suggest giving it another go. Although yeah it’s hard to switch from 3DVista when it’s so good :)
We've done some updates on our labels. Would recommend giving this tour a look so you can see what you can do with them now: tour.metareal.com/apps/player?asset=01623869-8922-45d7-b1d7-adcaf8ce78bf
Ben, As always, great videos. You mentioned that Metareal will charge you if you have them adjust/edit pictures and create the tour. At the time of making this video, what were those charges? I must have missed it if you already mentioned it.
thank you ! Just what I was looking for!!! I was on the fence after using the free version of theasys (before they went paid), but need streetview and now there's Metareal! Great! Great timing Ben!
f1pitpass, what is the benefit of uploading my RE Tours to Google Street View - does that mean my local area Google map will be populated with icon links to my tours? If so that could be good for advertising, but it could also mean I crowd the local map with all my tours - if Google allows that...
Hi! First thanks for your video, is really amazing what you have just shown! I can't wait to try Metareal! May I ask you something, please? Is it possible to add pictures and 3D models (link from sketchfab) in the main tour?
Can you please explain why would I want to keep my project online after forward the complete project to the real estate agent for exemple? By the way, what are the best steps to take in order to forward my done work to the recipient? email is out of the question because of the size of the file... Thank you
If the folks at Matterport had any idea of how much more Camera units they could sell if they allowed people to own their tours! Maybe everyone on here would buy one! Hopefully this will change soon! I cancelled my Matterport camera order because of this!
Sir thank you good video first of all Great job!!! i use theta z1 with matterport site plan. But Matterport doesn't have a function to remove the mirror. I want to know how to erase the camera reflected in the mirror.
I am using Panoskin for commercial projects and Matterport for Real Estate. I like the prices and the floor plan of Metareal. Do you know what happen with my projects uploaded into Google Street view if I stop using Panoskin to use Metareal?
Hello Ben, thank you for all the knowledge you're sharing! I am just now starting my 360 journey. Just got a Z1 and am going to buy a monopod now. I was looking for ways to buy something good that is not as expensive as the BUSHMAN or BEST360 Would you say that the 3 Legged Thing from Trent or Manfrotto Compact Extreme 2-in-1 Monopod & Pole + a JOBY would do the job? Many thanks
Great description of new platform!I’m in a bit of a query maybe you can help I’m about to either 1. Invest in a fisheye lense for my dslr or should I Or 2. Put the money into a new 360 camera instead ??? Hmmmm
I tried this out... I love the concept but I had SO many issues trying to align multiple panoramas (and objects) in an open-concept plan. I'm tempted to pay the fee (not crazy expensive but not cheap either) just to see if they would be able to make it work. There's a lot of potential here... but only if you have the margin to pay them to make the plan for you. Hopefully they'll get better... That said, excellent video and I appreciate you putting the spotlight on them!
Calculate the cost of Metareal servicers into the price to your customer based on the number oif rooms. That way the client pays for this instead of you giving up your profit margin.
Hi Ben, I realize this video is 3 yrs old so I was wondering if you think Metareal is the best route to go? I like the floor plan, virtual walkthrough and doll house effect. Thank you
Hi Ben, Would you have any suggestions for a tripod for a Matterport Pro2 camera? I know they have two suggestions on their website, I am looking for the best of the best. Thanks for any time dedicated to this! :)
Matterport or Metareal? Or something else?
@@bulotrex definitely have a look at what we do then :)
Renato Martinelli yes the download tours is available for all business users. We have a limit of 10 tour exports a month.

Thanks for Sharing Ben. I am having fun attempting to build the tours 3d objects.
The build is AI-based depth layout. Most VFX Softwares have been using this for years. It's very useful!
I used Metareal in beta and it was pretty great, just two 360 photos of a room were enough to create a nice model.
Do you just set the 360 camera in the middle of the room?
This should be available on all hotels web sites.
Excellent video Ben!!
thank you so much for all the information!

2. Interface design ... Antihumans - Deathdestruction

f1pitpass, what is the benefit of uploading my RE Tours to Google Street View - does that mean my local area Google map will be populated with icon links to my tours? If so that could be good for advertising, but it could also mean I crowd the local map with all my tours - if Google allows that...
@@RobertWhitfield biggest benefit as I see it, is that becoming a 'trusted photographer', for Google, adds credibility to your CV.
Hi! First thanks for your video, is really amazing what you have just shown! I can't wait to try Metareal! May I ask you something, please? Is it possible to add pictures and 3D models (link from sketchfab) in the main tour?
Thanks! To be honest, I’m not sure
Can you please explain why would I want to keep my project online after forward the complete project to the real estate agent for exemple? By the way, what are the best steps to take in order to forward my done work to the recipient? email is out of the question because of the size of the file... Thank you
If the folks at Matterport had any idea of how much more Camera units they could sell if they allowed people to own their tours! Maybe everyone on here would buy one! Hopefully this will change soon! I cancelled my Matterport camera order because of this!
Sir thank you good video first of all
Great job!!!
i use theta z1 with matterport site plan.
But Matterport doesn't have a function to remove the mirror.
I want to know how to erase the camera reflected in the mirror.
Great video Ben, thanks!..... which 360 camera do you recommend to take just 1 pic per room?
Theta Z1
I am using Panoskin for commercial projects and Matterport for Real Estate. I like the prices and the floor plan of Metareal. Do you know what happen with my projects uploaded into Google Street view if I stop using Panoskin to use Metareal?
Buenisimo video gracias !!
Thanks for the info. I would suggest maybe invest in a Pop Filter for your mic.
Hello Ben, thank you for all the knowledge you're sharing!
I am just now starting my 360 journey.
Just got a Z1 and am going to buy a monopod now.
I was looking for ways to buy something good that is not as expensive as the BUSHMAN or BEST360
Would you say that the 3 Legged Thing from Trent
or
Manfrotto Compact Extreme 2-in-1 Monopod & Pole + a JOBY would do the job?
Many thanks
Love your 4k Videos way better than most of the rest of tutorials out there, great work, no more matterport fees.. yeah..
What camera did you use?
Dang that was a no stone unturned comparison Ben, awesome and thank you. Competition is welcomed.
FANTASTIC, thank you Ben!
can you shot the panoramas with your iphone? if yes, what photo app you suggest to take the 360 photos?
Great description of new platform!I’m in a bit of a query maybe you can help I’m about to either 1. Invest in a fisheye lense for my dslr or should I Or 2. Put the money into a new 360 camera instead ??? Hmmmm
that rocks, thank you. I don't have time to do the manual work. Will it work pretty smoots with my Insta 360 x
Great news and thanks for the update !
Hi Ben, How about customer service between the two?
I tried this out... I love the concept but I had SO many issues trying to align multiple panoramas (and objects) in an open-concept plan. I'm tempted to pay the fee (not crazy expensive but not cheap either) just to see if they would be able to make it work. There's a lot of potential here... but only if you have the margin to pay them to make the plan for you. Hopefully they'll get better...
That said, excellent video and I appreciate you putting the spotlight on them!
Calculate the cost of Metareal servicers into the price to your customer based on the number oif rooms. That way the client pays for this instead of you giving up your profit margin.
Hi Ben, I realize this video is 3 yrs old so I was wondering if you think Metareal is the best route to go? I like the floor plan, virtual walkthrough and doll house effect. Thank you
Hi Cory- check out my more recent comparison video ‘Matterport vs. Matterport Alternatives’
Hi Ben, Would you have any suggestions for a tripod for a Matterport Pro2 camera? I know they have two suggestions on their website, I am looking for the best of the best. Thanks for any time dedicated to this! :)
Can you use the matterport camera and metareal software?
Can you import a metareal scan into software such as 3DS Max to add your own models? Like a couch in your living room for example?
Very awesome thank you for this
Thanks Ben, I waiting for your answer. please let me know which software allows to download the 3D model of the doll house?
is there an alternative to the matterport equipment?
Good Job Thank you for sharing
Do you have to do the lines and geometry if you want a dollhouse, or do you have to to them even for just a simple walk-through
