CloudPano vs Zillow 3D Home

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.

Zillow 3D Home is a free mobile app for creating virtual home tours and publishing them to a listing’s Zillow home details page. Users can capture tours with a supported iPhone or Android smartphone, or with a compatible 360-degree camera. The app can also create interactive floor plans, but these require a compatible 360-degree camera. Tours can be shared through social media, email, text, MLS links, and website embeds. Zillow says a tour linked on the MLS automatically syndicates to most major real estate sites. Users can manage published and unpublished tours from a computer dashboard or the mobile app, and grant others editing access through dashboard sharing controls. Tablets, including iPads, require a compatible 360-degree camera for tour capture. Zillow may distribute submitted tours and floor plans to MLSs and other real estate sites; certain sharing preferences are available in the Distribution tab. Users need permission to upload property panoramas and must not include people, pets, or private information. The free plan is listed at free, with no per-home, service, or hosting fees and uploads to as many listings as desired.
