In today’s competitive property market, virtual tours aren’t a “nice-to-have” — they’re essential for grabbing attention, building trust, and closing deals faster. Whether you’re marketing a $200K starter home or a $5M luxury estate, the right virtual tour platform can make all the difference.
In this guide, we’ll compare some of the most popular virtual tour platforms — Matterport, Kuula, EyeSpy360, and Zillow 3D Home — and show why CloudPano is the clear choice for real estate professionals looking for flexibility, branding, and ROI.
Virtual tour technology has advanced dramatically over the past few years. Buyers expect immersive, interactive experiences that go beyond photos and videos. Agents need fast, affordable, and MLS-compliant tools to deliver those experiences at scale.
The big players each have strengths, but they also have limitations that can hold back your marketing. Let’s break them down.
Matterport is a pioneer in 3D tour tech, famous for photorealistic captures and dollhouse views. But with proprietary hardware requirements and costly hosting, it’s often overkill for agents who want control over branding and no monthly lock-in fees.
Kuula is popular with photographers and creatives thanks to its clean, web-friendly tours. It’s great for embedding on blogs or portfolio sites, but MLS rules can be tricky to navigate, and advanced branding options are limited.
EyeSpy360 has integrated live guided tours, which can help agents walk clients through properties remotely. However, its interface feels dated, and customization for different markets is limited.
Zillow’s free 3D Home tours help boost listing exposure on their platform, but here’s the catch: those tours are tied to Zillow. You can’t freely brand, share, or host them outside Zillow without losing their benefits.
Here’s where CloudPano changes the game:
When compared side-by-side, CloudPano delivers the most freedom, fastest workflow, and strongest ROI.
