Virtual tours are revolutionizing property marketing — and AppFolio users are taking note. But when it comes to picking the right platform for seamless integration, the top three choices often boil down to: CloudPano, Kuula, and Matterport.
Which platform is best for your listings? 🤔
Which one works smoothly inside AppFolio?
Which gives you the most bang for your buck?
Let’s break it down, side-by-side, and help you decide which virtual tour solution aligns with your leasing goals. 🏘️✨
AppFolio does not host virtual tours natively (yet). But the platform does allow you to:
✅ Embed iframe codes
✅ Paste external links into listing descriptions or tour fields
✅ Display video previews or tour banners
Because of this, the tour platform you choose must support public links or iframe embed codes to work inside AppFolio.
