When it comes to virtual tour technology for architects and designers, not all platforms are created equal. While Matterport is a well-known name, professionals are increasingly turning to CloudPano — and for good reason. In 2025, architecture and design workflows demand more flexibility, branding control, and integration options, and CloudPano delivers exactly that.
In this guide, we’ll explore why CloudPano stands out as the best Matterport alternative for the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry and how it can transform your visual presentation process.
Architects and designers don’t just create spaces — they tell stories through design. Your virtual tour tool needs to:
Platforms like Matterport can be limiting due to hardware restrictions, high subscription fees, and closed ecosystems.

Architectural presentations often need to reflect your studio’s brand — not the software’s. CloudPano lets you deliver custom-branded virtual tours, so every client presentation feels premium and unique.
Public projects? You can publish directly to Google Street View without extra steps, increasing visibility and helping your designs be discovered.
CloudPano’s streamlined workflow lets you create and share immersive tours in minutes — perfect for design reviews, stakeholder presentations, and progress updates.
With CloudPano, you can also integrate with virtual staging tools to show clients future design possibilities. This is especially powerful when combined with:
