In their own words
GoThru
GoThru provides tools for creating custom virtual tours, publishing 360 images to Google, and viewing tours in VR. Its tour creator supports themes, plugins, multilingual content, a side menu, and usage statistics. The Street View Moderator accepts direct panorama uploads and imports from Google Drive or Dropbox; users can connect images, preview tours, and publish to Street View. It includes a tool to blur faces, license plates, and other private details. Photo Studio is a freemium desktop app for viewing, organizing, editing, and publishing 360-degree images on macOS and Windows, with no trial or subscription required for its free offering. It supports AI image tools and can publish to GoThru, Panorra, or Google Street View. A free Chrome extension retrieves Google Business identifiers and Street View panorama details. GoThru is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and as an extension. Pay As You Go costs nothing; Street View/Blue Line tours cost 14 USD per tour, while tours with four images or fewer publish free. Basic costs $15 a month. Custom tour links stop working if a subscription ends unless users pay per tour or download and host the tour themselves.
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.
