Marzipano vs Panoee

Marzipano is a free 360° media viewer for the modern web, with a browser tool that converts panoramas into exported web applications. The tool accepts sphere, or equirectangular, panoramas and cubeface panoramas in JPEG or TIFF format; equirectangular images require a 2:1 aspect ratio. Files are processed in the browser and are not uploaded to a server. Panorama names, initial views, and other settings can be edited before export, and the resulting JavaScript, HTML, and CSS can be customized. Tours can be deployed to any web hosting platform. The viewer uses WebGL on modern desktop and mobile browsers and devices, is optimized for 360° images of any size, and is 55KB when gzipped. Its JavaScript API and HTML/CSS interfaces support custom controls. A simple tour demo includes hotspots and autorotate. Developers can include a standalone JavaScript file or install a Node.js package with npm. The project is not an official Google product.

Panoee is a browser-based tool for creating, editing, hosting, and publishing 360° virtual tours. It accepts 360° and standard images, including panoramas up to 32K resolution. The editor supports navigation, interactive, eCommerce, polygon, and media hotspots, along with themes, floorplans, maps, multilingual support, lead capture, calls to action, and live chat. Tours can be embedded on websites with iframe code, published to Google Street View, or exported as ZIP files for self-hosting. The editor includes a Google Analytics tracking field in its SEO settings. The free plan provides 3 GB of storage, unlimited projects and tours, up to 32K panoramas, and unlimited bandwidth; storage above 3 GB or premium features require a paid plan. Plans include PRO at $22 a month, Enterprise at $99 a month, PRO+ at $200 a year, and Enterprise+ at $950 a year. Activating tour export costs $19 per project and enables unlimited exports for that project. Panoee runs on the web or as a self-hosted deployment.
