{"intro": "Asteroom combines smartphone or 360-camera capture with automatic tour creation, an online photo editor, and hosted presentations. Its tours can include a 3D dollhouse, 360-degree movement, bird’s-eye viewing, and interactive 2D floor plans with room dimensions. Branding, embed code, measurement tools, and connections to realtor.com and Zillow support property marketing. A free Basic Plan requires an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera; subscriptions begin at $39.90 per month, while the Imaging Package costs $59 per tour and includes 180 days of hosting. Public viewing stops when a subscription expires.\n\nAn alternative may be preferable for different cameras, publishing destinations, collaboration, or project records. CloudPano and GoThru publish to Google Street View, while CloudPano adds browser-based video calls. Other options provide AI enhancement, virtual staging, smooth movement through modeled spaces, extensive hotspot controls, or construction-focused digital twins and measurements.
