In the fast-moving world of real estate marketing, virtual tours aren’t just a nice-to-have anymore — they’re a must-have tool for winning more listings, impressing sellers, and closing deals faster. From sleek 3D walkthroughs to easy MLS integration, the right virtual tour platform can make or break your property marketing strategy.
In this guide, we’ll compare top platforms like Matterport, Kuula, EyeSpy360, and Zillow 3D Home — then show you why CloudPano is the smart choice for agents and brokerages looking to scale, simplify, and stand out.
Today’s buyers expect to explore homes from anywhere — without having to book a showing. This means your listings need to:
✅ Be immersive enough to keep viewers engaged.
✅ Work seamlessly across devices.
✅ Upload easily to the MLS and portals like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Trulia.
✅ Offer tools for branding, lead capture, and analytics.
The competition is fierce. So, which platform is right for you? Let’s break it down.
Matterport has long been known for its photorealistic 3D scans and “dollhouse” view. While it’s a favorite for luxury listings, it comes with high equipment costs (special cameras) and subscription fees that add up.
Pros:
Cons:
If budget isn’t your concern and you’re focused on top-tier production, Matterport is a strong option — but not always the most practical for fast MLS uploads or agent-friendly workflows.
Kuula is a lightweight, browser-based platform that lets you upload 360° photos and build interactive tours quickly. It’s a good fit for beginners or small marketing teams who need a low-cost entry point.
Pros:
Cons:
Kuula is great for quick projects, but you might find yourself outgrowing it if you need professional-level client deliverables.
EyeSpy360 is popular among agents for its live guided tours — letting you walk clients through a property virtually. It also offers floor plan generation and an affordable pricing structure.
Pros:
Cons:
If you want to add a personal touch to remote tours, EyeSpy360 is worth considering — but for high-end branding and scalability, you may still want more flexibility.
Zillow 3D Home is free to use and integrates directly into Zillow listings. It’s a low-risk way for agents to start offering virtual tours, but it’s also locked into the Zillow platform.
Pros:
Cons:
Zillow 3D Home can be a stepping stone, but serious marketers will need more customization and distribution control.
When comparing all these platforms side-by-side, CloudPano emerges as the best overall solution for agents, photographers, and brokerages who want affordable, high-quality, MLS-compliant virtual tours without getting locked into one ecosystem.
Why CloudPano Wins:
CloudPano combines the quality of Matterport, the simplicity of Kuula, the live tour capability of EyeSpy360, and the MLS upload ease agents love — all at a fraction of the cost.
When choosing a platform, ask yourself:
If you said yes to any of these, CloudPano should be at the top of your list.
While platforms like Matterport, Kuula, EyeSpy360, and Zillow 3D Home each have their strengths, CloudPano offers the most balanced mix of affordability, flexibility, and MLS readiness. It’s the go-to choice for agents who want to sell faster, look professional, and keep more profits.
