Matterport is a measurement-grade scanning platform. VOLUME turns a phone walkthrough into a walkable interactive tour in 48–72 hours. Here's how they line up — factually, no spin.
· 01 / SIDE BY SIDE
At a glance
The differences that matter.
| Dimension | VOLUME | Matterport |
|---|---|---|
| How it's captured | A phone walkthrough video you film yourself | A dedicated 3D/LiDAR camera, or a certified technician on site |
| On-site crew | None — you film it | Often a trained operator or scheduled technician visit |
| Hardware cost | $0 — your phone | Camera purchase, or a per-capture fee for a technician |
| Turnaround | 48–72 hours (36–48 on Brokerage) | Varies; processing follows the on-site scan |
| Output | Interactive 3D tour (Gaussian splatting), embeddable link | Measured 3D model / dollhouse + floor plans, embeddable |
| Measurements & floor plans | Not the focus — visual, walkable tours | Yes — measurement-grade, schematic floor plans |
| Hosting | First 12 months included, small monthly after | Subscription hosting tiers |
| Best for | Fast, low-lift tours from a phone | Precise measured scans and documentation |
· 02 / WHEN TO CHOOSE WHICH
Straight answer
Pick the tool for the job.
Need measurement-grade scans, schematic floor plans, or documentation for construction and insurance? That's Matterport's strength. Need a fast, walkable tour of a listing, rental, or portfolio space from a phone — with nothing to buy and a link in 48–72 hours? That's VOLUME.
· 03 / FAQ
Before you decide
Common questions.
- Is VOLUME as accurate as Matterport?
- They solve different problems. Matterport produces measurement-grade models and schematic floor plans from dedicated hardware. VOLUME produces a visual, walkable interactive tour from a phone video — fast and low-lift, but not a survey tool. If you need precise measurements or floor plans, Matterport is built for that.
- Do I need special hardware for VOLUME?
- No. You film a normal walkthrough on any modern phone and send us the video. There's no camera to buy and no technician to schedule.
- Can I embed a VOLUME tour like a Matterport one?
- Yes. Both output an embeddable interactive tour and a shareable link. A VOLUME tour drops into listings, direct-booking sites, and portfolios via an iframe or URL.
- Which is cheaper per property?
- VOLUME starts at $249 per demo with no hardware. Matterport's cost depends on owning a camera or paying per capture plus a hosting subscription. For a few properties from a phone, VOLUME is typically lower-lift; for high-volume measured scanning, run your own numbers.
