Asteroom

Overview

Asteroom is a smartphone-oriented system for making and hosting 3D property tours, with companion capture hardware and software. It suits real estate agents and photographers who want tours, interactive plans and listing connections in one workflow. Its strongest case is the combination of property views and listing integrations; camera requirements and time-limited hosting make plan choice important.

Key features

Capture and tour creation

Users can shoot panoramas in the app or upload an album for automatic tour creation. Asteroom directly integrates with Ricoh Theta S, SC, V and Z1 cameras and Insta360 ONE X; it also accepts other 360-degree photos in a 2:1 aspect ratio. This offers flexibility for owners of compatible cameras, but the listed subscription plans require an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera, so a smartphone alone may not cover the full workflow.

Property presentation and listings

The 3D dollhouse combines 360-degree navigation with an overhead view, while interactive 2D floor plans show room dimensions and connect to the tour. Together, these give prospective buyers both a navigable property view and a dimensional reference. Asteroom says tours can sync with realtor.com and Zillow; its workflow also describes MLS and Realtor.com integration. Custom branding, embed code and measurement tools support presenting tours in a brokerage’s own channels.

Image services and hosting

Asteroom’s realtor page prices 2D still-image enhancement at $1 USD per photo and 3D staging at $35 USD per panorama. These are separate per-image services rather than a substitute for choosing a tour plan. Hosting terms deserve particular attention: the Imaging Package includes 180 days, and another 180 days costs $12 USD. When a subscription expires, its tours are archived and no longer publicly viewable, although they remain in the account and can be used again after renewal.

Pricing

Asteroom has free and paid choices, but its recurring plans share a hardware requirement. The free Basic Plan costs nothing for one user and requires an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera. It offers the lowest-commitment entry point, but the plan details give no active-tour quota.

Professional costs $39.90 a month or $399 a year, both for one user and 10 active tours. The annual option lowers the stated cost compared with paying monthly for a full year, in exchange for an annual commitment. Enterprise costs $59 a month for 1~10 users and 25 active tours; Enterprise (1 year) costs $699 a year for 1~50 users and 100 active tours. The annual Enterprise tier is the stronger fit for a larger team or higher active-tour volume, while monthly Enterprise has a smaller seat and tour allowance. All four recurring plans require the Pano Kit or a 360 camera.

The Asteroom Imaging Package costs $59, paid once, billed per tour. It covers up to 30 panoramas and includes a 3D dollhouse, 2D floor plan, 360° image enhancement and 180 days hosting; additional images cost $1.50 each. This is a defined one-tour purchase rather than a recurring team subscription, and the hosting window means it is less suited to tours that must remain public indefinitely without renewal. A free trial is available. Asteroom also offers custom pricing.

Platforms

Asteroom supports Android, iOS and web. The app-based panorama workflow is relevant to mobile capture, while web access supports the online editing and tour workflow.

Who it's for

Asteroom is best suited to real estate agents and photographers who need to produce property tours with floor plans and dollhouse views, and who can work with a supported 360 camera or Pano Kit. The Imaging Package fits a per-tour workflow; recurring plans make more sense for users managing multiple active tours or seats. It is a weaker fit for anyone who needs a tour to remain publicly viewable beyond the included hosting period without ongoing plan renewal.

Pros and cons

Pros: Tours pair a navigable dollhouse with interactive, dimensioned floor plans, giving viewers more than a panorama sequence.

Pros: Direct integrations for several Ricoh Theta models and Insta360 ONE X, plus 2:1 photo import, accommodate more than one capture route.

Pros: The Imaging Package bundles core presentation assets and 180 days of hosting for a fixed per-tour price.

Cons: Subscription plans require a Pano Kit or 360 camera, which limits the appeal of a phone-only setup.

Cons: Expired subscriptions make tours unavailable to public viewers until renewal, so keeping older listings live requires planning for continued hosting.

Cons: The Imaging Package caps the included panorama count at 30 and hosting at 180 days; additional images and hosting add cost.

Alternatives

Choose GoThru if a freemium service with a free plan and broad platform support is more important; its Pay As You Go option includes 2 GB, with Street View/Blue Line tours priced at $14 USD per tour one time.

Biganto Virtual Tours is worth considering if its free trial and 29.00 EUR Basic plan better match your budget or platform needs; its trial has limited tour capacity and sharing for new accounts ends after one month.

Consider InsideMaps if an iOS and web workflow with project-based pricing suits you better; its Capture app is a free download and project prices depend on property size and package.

Panoee may suit readers seeking a freemium web or self-hosted option: its free plan includes 3Gb storage, unlimited projects and tours, and unlimited bandwidth.

Choose TeliportMe if its annual Essential plan’s $19 a year and unlimited storage and tours are a closer fit.

iGUIDE offers per-project options, including a 6.99 CAD RADIX plan without floor plans and a 7.99 USD Instant plan with an interactive floor plan only.

Kuula is another freemium option; its free Basic plan allows up to 300 posts and 100 uploads per month.

For a freemium alternative with a free-forever tier, Matterport offers one active space and two users on its Free plan, with limited camera support.

Verdict

Choose Asteroom if you are an agent or photographer who needs integrated tour creation, interactive floor plans and property-listing connections, and you have compatible capture hardware. The main reason to look elsewhere is the combination of that hardware requirement and hosting that ends with the subscription: teams with phone-only capture or a need for continuously public tours should compare other workflows before committing.
