In their own words
CloudPano
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.
