I am really upset with all tech things and problems besides camera and quality.  What hosting service do you use and what software for 360 VT? If I choose 3D Vista, hosting is terrible expensive, what are other options?

The cheapest and most beginner friendly Virtual Tour platform I know is Kuula: https://kuula.co. This is one I would recommend starting with.

Thank you for an answer. Is it possible to load ready tour in Kuula- made, for example in 3d Vista? For me it would be perfect to geotag 360 photos and later on compare by date. How and where is it possible?

I don’t think you can carry over tours from another software. You will need to rebuild the tour from scratch. What do you mean by compare by date?

AntaGU replied 4 months ago

I have had ongoing projects for around 1 year.. I want to take monthly 360 photos in the same GPS points year-round with a possibility to compare, for example, 1 januar 360 with 1 april photos.

I don’t think there are any tools by Kuula to compare photos in this way. Kuula is has more basic features for an affordable price tag. Might need to try a more sophisticated Virtual Tour software for more advanced features.

You can upload the photos as a ‘tour’ and toggle between them with the thumbnails at the bottom which you can label with the date. This works with the free version (hotspots require PRO membership)

I use 3DVista for full featured virtual tours and upload to clients website. I also use https://kuula.co/ for simpler tours, quicker, easier and cheaper than 3DVista and enough features for most clients. It has a free version which limits some features and sharing options, good to test the process. This is one i am working on at the moment: https://kuula.co/share/collection/7F0wn?logo=-1&card=1&info=0&fs=1&vr=1&zoom=1&autorotate=0.06&autop=20&thumbs=4&inst=0

Does it means you don’t pay for any server or cloud service? What about your, if any own web page?

Using Kuula means there is no need for your own server, they host, you can embed on other websites. The PRO is $20/m or you can try for free with some limits. Using 3DVista i upload to clients website via FTP. Kuula is much simpler, but there is an ongoing cost, which you could pass on to the client or get them to open an account. You get your own channeI on Kuula so you can use this as a portfolio https://kuula.co/profile/360felixa. I don’t currently have a website, my domain forwards to instagram to show some other work https://www.instagram.com/360felixa/, it could also forward to Kuula. It all depends what you need, you could buy 3DVista, which is very powerful and customisable and buy hosting. Or for $20/month you get a PRO Kuula account. All depends if you need a website
