How Much Does a 360° Virtual Tour Cost in 2026? Pricing Guide

A professional 360° or 3D virtual tour costs €300 to €25,000+ in 2026, depending on the space, the capture method and how much branding you need. Here's the full pricing breakdown, Matterport vs custom.

Short answer: a professional 3D virtual tour typically costs between €300 and €25,000+, depending on the space, the capture method and how much branding, interactivity and integration you need. A single-room Matterport scan can start around €300; a branded, interactive tour for a showroom or store usually lands between €1,500 and €5,000; multi-location or enterprise systems run from €5,000 well into five figures.

What actually drives the price?

  • Size of the space — priced per square metre or per scan point. A boutique is not a factory.
  • Capture method — a Matterport camera scan is faster and cheaper; cinematic 360° or photogrammetry costs more but looks bespoke.
  • Branding & design — an off-the-shelf viewer is cheap; your colours, fonts, intro screen and custom interface are not.
  • Interactivity — hotspots, product pop-ups, embedded video and call-to-action buttons all add build time.
  • Integrations — CRM sync (HubSpot, Salesforce), booking, e-commerce, analytics.
  • Hosting & maintenance — where the tour lives, and who updates it.

Matterport vs custom 360°: which should you choose?

Choose Matterport when you need a reliable, walkable 3D model fast and cheap — real estate, documentation, straightforward retail. Choose a custom 360° or hybrid build when the tour is a marketing asset that has to carry your brand, convert visitors, or plug into your sales stack. Most serious commercial tours are Matterport captured and custom wrapped: the accuracy of a scan with the polish of a branded experience.

What about ongoing costs?

Beyond the build, budget for hosting, any capture-platform licence (for example Matterport's own hosting tiers), and updates when the space changes. A store that re-merchandises every season needs a re-capture plan; a permanent building may not change for years.

How do you put a virtual tour on your website?

Most tours embed with a single <iframe> — the same way you embed a video. The harder part is making it fast, branded, tracked and CRM-connected. That's the layer we built VRBox for: it takes a Matterport® or 360° tour and lets you brand it, embed it, instrument it with analytics and sync leads to your CRM — without rebuilding your stack.

FAQ

How long does a virtual tour take to produce? A simple scan can be live in days; a branded, integrated tour usually takes two to six weeks.

Do virtual tours help sales? Yes — listings and product pages with immersive tours consistently see longer dwell time and higher engagement than flat photos.

Can one tour cover multiple locations? Yes, with a management layer that hosts many tours under one branded, measurable roof.

We design, capture and ship virtual tours as products, not demos — for showrooms, retail and recruitment, from a small studio in Portugal. If you're weighing a tour for your space, tell us what you're picturing.
