PFRE Tour vs. CloudPano: photo tours or 360° tours?
These two solve different problems. CloudPano builds 360°/panoramic walkthroughs on a subscription (Pro from about $19/mo billed yearly; Pro Plus $33/mo yearly or $49 monthly). PFRE Tour hosts photo-based listing tours at $8–10 each, no subscription. If your clients are buying 360° capture, CloudPano is the right category; if you shoot stills and need a clean branded tour link for the MLS, a 360 platform is overkill.

What CloudPano does well
- Purpose-built for 360°/panoramic walkthroughs, VR-friendly
- Live-tour and video-chat features for remote showings
- Reasonable subscription price for an active 360 business
Tradeoffs to weigh
- It is 360 software — if you shoot stills, you are paying for capture features you do not use
- Subscription continues whether or not you deliver listings that month
When CloudPano is the better choice
- You sell 360°/VR walkthroughs as a service and shoot panoramas regularly
- Remote live showings are part of your offer
When PFRE Tour fits better
- Your product is still photography and the tour is the delivery format
- You want per-listing pricing that is $0 in months you do not shoot
- MLS-compliant links and your own domain matter more than 360 capture
PFRE Tour now hosts walkable 3D walkthroughs from a 360 camera (Gaussian splats), with an unbranded MLS link, for $15 per listing and no subscription. See the live demo.
Switching from CloudPano to PFRE Tour
If you have kept a CloudPano subscription mainly to host photo tours, PFRE Tour does that job per-listing with no monthly fee — re-upload the photos you already have and the tour is live. For genuine 360° / panorama capture, CloudPano remains the right category.
- Keep the listing photos you delivered — they are yours. Download them from CloudPano if you need copies.
- Create a free PFRE Tour: enter the address and drag your photos in. Address plus photos is the whole setup.
- Preview it live, then set your branded and unbranded (MLS-compliant) links; point your own domain if you use white label.
- Activate for $10 when you are happy — no subscription, no platform in the middle.

Common questions
Does PFRE Tour support 360° or 3D tours?

Since October 2026 it also hosts walkable 3D walkthroughs made with a 360 camera (Gaussian splats) for $15 per listing, with an unbranded MLS link. For hotspot-style 360° panorama tours, a tool like CloudPano is the right category.
