Asteroom

Asteroom offers hardware and software for creating 3D virtual tours with a smartphone, including an app and online photo editor. Users can capture panoramas in the app or upload an album for automatic tour creation. Tours include a 3D dollhouse with 360-degree navigation and a bird’s-eye view, as well as interactive 2D floor plans showing room dimensions. Asteroom names Ricoh Theta S, SC, V, and Z1, plus Insta360 ONE X, as directly integrated cameras; other 360-degree images can be imported when they use a 2:1 aspect ratio. Tours can sync with realtor.com and Zillow, and the workflow describes MLS and Realtor.com integration. The company presents its smartphone tour solution for real estate agents and photographers. A free Basic Plan requires an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera. The Asteroom Imaging Package costs $59 per tour and includes up to 30 panoramas and 180 days of hosting. When a subscription expires, a tour is archived and is no longer publicly viewable, but remains in the account and can be used again after renewal.

Asteroom provides a smartphone-centered workflow for building virtual tours with dollhouse and floor-plan views. Check the camera requirement on the free plan and the hosting period before choosing a package.

Asteroom is presented for real estate agents and photographers who want to create smartphone-based virtual tours. Its floor plans, dollhouse view, and listing integrations may be useful for preparing property listings.

Overview

Asteroom is a virtual-tour platform for property photography, pairing panorama capture with tools for presenting a home online. It is best suited to agents and photographers who want dollhouse and dimensioned floor-plan views alongside a tour. Its strongest appeal is that property presentation and listing workflow sit in one product; camera requirements and time-limited hosting make the package choice important.

Asteroom also supports tour hosting, custom branding, embed code, and measurement tools. Its stated listing integrations include realtor.com, Zillow, and MLS workflows. For a wider category comparison, see 3D Virtual Tour Software.

Key features

Capture and property views

Users can shoot panoramas in the app or upload an album for automatic tour creation. Asteroom directly integrates with Ricoh Theta S, SC, V, and Z1 cameras, plus the Insta360 ONE X; other 360-degree images can be imported in a 2:1 aspect ratio. This gives photographers some camera flexibility, but the subscription plans require an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera, so a phone alone may not meet the plan requirement.

The 3D dollhouse combines 360-degree navigation with an overhead view, while the interactive 2D floor plan shows room dimensions and connects to the tour. Those views give prospective buyers more spatial context than a set of still images. Asteroom also offers image enhancement and 3D staging as paid add-ons: $1 USD per photo for 2D still-image enhancement and $35 USD per panorama for 3D staging.

Hosting and account terms

The Imaging Package includes 180 days of hosting, with another 180 days listed at $12 USD. When a subscription expires, a tour is archived and stops being publicly viewable, though it remains in the account and can be used again after renewal. That makes renewal or an extension part of the ongoing cost for agents who need listings to remain accessible.

Pricing

Asteroom has a free plan and paid subscriptions, as well as a per-tour imaging package. The listed subscription plans require a Pano Kit or 360 camera.

The free Basic plan is limited to one user and still requires compatible capture hardware. Professional suits a solo operator managing up to 10 active tours; its annual option costs less than twelve monthly payments at the stated prices, but still has the same user and tour caps. Enterprise raises those caps for larger workloads, with the annual plan allowing more users and tours than its monthly counterpart. The Imaging Package is a one-time, per-tour choice for occasional listings, but it caps the job at 30 panoramas and hosting at 180 days; additional images and extensions add cost.

Platforms

Asteroom is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The app supports panorama capture, while the online tools cover tour creation and presentation.

Who it's for

Asteroom is a strong fit for real estate agents and photographers producing property tours who need both a navigable dollhouse and a dimensioned floor plan, particularly when they also want branding, embeds, or listing-platform integrations. It is less suitable for someone seeking a phone-only workflow without a 360 camera or Pano Kit, or for a listing that must remain publicly viewable indefinitely without attention to hosting and renewal.

Asteroom says it may collect personal details such as name, address, phone number, company, and email when users register, purchase, subscribe, or contact the company. Phone support is available at +1 (831) 298-6517, Monday through Friday, 9 AM–4 PM PST.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Dollhouse navigation and interactive, dimensioned floor plans give buyers complementary ways to understand a property’s layout.
• Pros: App capture, album-based tour creation, and imports from compatible 360-degree cameras support more than one capture route.
• Cons: The stated subscription plans require a Pano Kit or 360 camera, limiting the appeal for phone-only users.
• Cons: Subscription expiry removes public access to tours until renewal, and the Imaging Package’s included hosting lasts 180 days.
• Cons: Monthly Enterprise allows up to 10 users and 25 active tours, while its annual option has different, higher caps; teams should match the term to their workload.

Alternatives

InsideMaps is worth considering if an iOS-and-web workflow suits you; its free Capture app has project prices that depend on property size and package, and hosting after the first year is $5 a year.

GoThru is an option for users who want broader platform coverage and a freemium model. Its Pay As You Go plan is free, with 2 GB and separately priced tour options.

Kuula may fit creators who want a freemium service with a free Basic plan capped at 300 posts and 100 uploads per month.

Matterport is another freemium option; its Free plan includes one active space, two users, and limited camera support.

Zillow 3D Home is the clearer choice when avoiding per-home, service, and hosting fees is the priority; its free plan allows tours on as many listings as desired.

Google Street View is a free alternative, though its Street View Static API is pay-as-you-go per panorama and requires billing and an API key or OAuth token for API requests.

Pivo Tour is another freemium option, with one-time MLS access packages including a 3-month option for $2.99.

TeliportMe offers a paid plan with a free plan and trial; its Essential annual plan is $19 a year.

Verdict

Choose Asteroom if you produce real estate tours and want dollhouse navigation, dimensioned floor plans, and listing-oriented presentation tools in one workflow. Its per-tour Imaging Package gives occasional users a defined starting point, while subscriptions support recurring tour volume. Look elsewhere if you need capture without dedicated 360 hardware or dependable public access beyond the included hosting period without renewal or extension costs.
