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.
