Frequently Asked Questions

Is EyeSpy360 a good Matterport alternative?

EyeSpy360 is a reasonable Matterport alternative for agents on a budget who primarily need 360° tours with floor plan navigation. However, it does not match Matterport's 3D mesh models, Dollhouse views, or measurement capabilities. It's best thought of as a mid-tier option between free 360° viewers and Matterport's full 3D platform.

Does EyeSpy360 work in the United States?

EyeSpy360 is accessible globally, but its integrations and market presence are strongest in the UK and Europe. US-based agents will find fewer local integrations compared to Matterport, which dominates the US real estate market. If you operate in the US, Matterport's ecosystem advantages are more significant.

How does EyeSpy360 floor plan navigation work?

EyeSpy360 allows you to upload a floor plan image and place clickable markers on it that correspond to 360° panorama positions. Viewers can navigate the tour by clicking positions on the floor plan, providing spatial context that basic 360° viewers lack. Unlike Matterport, the floor plan is manually created and positioned rather than auto-generated from scan data.

Which is more cost-effective long-term?

EyeSpy360 is significantly cheaper at approximately $15/month versus Matterport's $55-309/month for professional plans. Over a year, EyeSpy360 costs roughly $180 versus $660-$3,708 for Matterport. The cost difference is substantial, but so is the quality and feature gap.

Can I use EyeSpy360 with Matterport cameras?

No. EyeSpy360 works with standard 360° cameras and photos, not Matterport scan data. The Matterport Pro3 is designed exclusively for the Matterport platform. If you have a separate 360° camera like the Ricoh Theta Z1 or Insta360, you can use it with EyeSpy360.

Should I start with EyeSpy360 or hire a professional?

If your budget is limited and you're willing to learn 360° photography, EyeSpy360 provides decent results at low cost. For professional-quality 3D tours, hiring THE FUTURE 3D delivers Matterport Dollhouse-quality results starting at $350 per residential property — no equipment purchase, no subscription, no learning curve. The quality difference between EyeSpy360 and professional Matterport is substantial.
