InsideMaps vs Zillow 3D Home

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.

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 Users can manage published and unpublished tours from a computer dashboard or the mobile app, and grant others editing access through dashboard sharing controls.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.
