In their own words
Asteroom
Asteroom creates smartphone-based 3D virtual tours for real estate agents and photographers, using an app, hardware and an online photo editor. Users can capture panoramas in the app or upload an album to generate a tour. Tours pair a 3D dollhouse with 360-degree navigation and a bird’s-eye view, and interactive 2D floor plans show room dimensions. Asteroom names Ricoh Theta S, SC, V and Z1 and Insta360 ONE X as integrated cameras; other 360-degree photos can be imported if they have a 2:1 aspect ratio. Tours can sync with realtor.com and Zillow, and the workflow includes MLS and Realtor.com integration. Android, iOS and web access are listed. The free Basic Plan requires an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera. Professional costs $39.90 a month, while the Imaging Package costs $59 and includes up to 30 panoramas and 180 days of hosting. When a subscription expires, tours are archived and no longer public until renewal.
InsideMaps
InsideMaps turns property scans into visual materials and data for marketing and operational workflows. Its Capture app works with the HERO rotor, which connects to an iPhone over Bluetooth to automate panorama capture. A scan can produce a 3D digital twin, estimated dimensions, diagrams, floor plans and HDR photos. Interactive 360-degree walkthroughs are described as VR ready and can be shared as embedded tours using an iframe link. Depending on the package and selected services, projects may also include walkthrough videos, property reports, 3D models, SketchUp exports and IFC exports. SmartTags attach condition details, observations and close-up photos to scanned objects, which appear in the processed tour. InsideMaps describes solutions for property management, inspection and scoping, homebuilders and vacation rentals, as well as real estate, hospitality and pre-construction. Packages include HDR Photos, Floor Plan, Standard, Standard + Video and Pro, with services varying by package. There is no monthly or annual subscription; project pricing depends on property size and package. Project hosting is free for the first year, then costs $5 a year per project.
