Zillow 3D Tours vs. Matterport vs. CubiCasa: What’s the Difference?

In today’s real estate market, virtual tours aren’t just a bonus — they’re expected. But not all tours are created equal. At Capture 13, we offer multiple options based on your listing, budget, and marketing goals. Let’s break down the differences between the top three: Zillow 3D, Matterport, and CubiCasa.

🟣 Zillow 3D Home Tours

Best for:
✔️ Getting more views on Zillow
✔️ Quick turnaround
✔️ Budget-friendly listings

What it is:
Zillow 3D is a virtual walk-through tour hosted directly on Zillow. When added to your listing, Zillow boosts its visibility in search results.

Pros:

• Featured placement on Zillow and Trulia

• Compatible with floor plans

• Fast upload and delivery

• No hosting fees

• Affordable

Cons:

• Basic interface compared to Matterport

• Not usable on non-Zillow platforms

Why we like it:
It gives your listing a competitive edge without breaking the bank. Pair it with a floor plan and you're ahead of the game.

🟠 Matterport

Best for:
✔️ Luxury listings
✔️ Builders, architects, commercial spaces
✔️ Multi-platform marketing

What it is:
Matterport is the gold standard in virtual tours. It offers an immersive, dollhouse-style 3D walk-through that works great for high-end marketing.

Pros:

• Beautiful 3D “dollhouse” view

• Embedded on your own site or MLS

• Great for long-term use and branding

• Room measurements and floor plan export available

Cons:

• Requires hosting subscription

• Slower upload and delivery time

• Higher cost

Why we like it:
Matterport delivers a cinematic experience — perfect for luxury homes or new developments.

🔵 CubiCasa

Best for:
✔️ Floor plans with no staging required
✔️ Appraisers or investor reports
✔️ Tight schedules

What it is:
CubiCasa uses just a smartphone to scan a property and generate an accurate floor plan — no photos or tripod needed.

Pros:

• No need to move furniture or stage

• Fast, app-based scan

• Great for rentals, flips, or investor deals

• Affordable add-on to photos

Cons:

• Doesn’t include interior 3D visuals

• No interactive virtual walk-through

• Requires some app setup and mobile access

Why we like it:
It’s the fastest way to get a clean, professional floor plan with room measurements — even if the house isn’t photo-ready.
