CloudPano vs Google Street View

CloudPano lets users create and publish 360° virtual tours and host 360° video chat calls. Users upload 360° photos, connect scenes with hotspots, choose starting views, and reorder scenes. Published tours can be embedded on websites through a provided link, so viewers need no app or plugin. Tours can also be published to Google Street View and Google Maps, and can include 3D dollhouse or 2D floor plans. White-label features let customers use their own logo and domain and remove CloudPano branding. In-tour video calls support up to four participants and can be joined from any device without an app download. The maker names photographers, real estate agents and brokers, vehicle dealers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and sales teams as intended users. Tours require 360° photos with a 2:1 aspect ratio, and one photo is enough to begin. A free plan is listed. The pricing note says paid plans start at $19/mo (annual); the Pro plan is $22.50 a month billed annually and includes three published projects.

Google Street View combines panoramic images to represent places virtually in Google Maps. Users can explore locations and inspect historical imagery to see changes over time. Images come from Google and contributors, and may be months or years old rather than current. People with compatible cameras can capture 360 videos and upload them through Street View Studio, which supports multiple uploads, previews, imagery statistics, and capture-route planning. Businesses can publish indoor or outdoor imagery and virtual tours for location previews. Developers can add Street View to Android, iOS, and web applications using the Maps Embed API or Maps JavaScript API. The Street View Image API supplies static panoramas, while the Publish API sends 360 photos with position, orientation, and connectivity metadata. Contributed imagery receives automatic face and license-plate blurring, with requests available for additional blurring. The service is free; Static API usage is billed per panorama and requires billing plus an API key or OAuth token.
