Asteroom

Asteroom is a virtual-tour service for real estate agents and photographers who want to build property tours around panoramic images. Its mix of a dollhouse view, interactive floor plans, and listing integrations makes it a focused property-marketing option, but camera requirements and ongoing hosting terms deserve attention.

Overview

Asteroom combines capture tools, an app, and online services for producing 3D property tours. You can shoot panoramas in the app or upload an album for automatic tour creation. Tours can include a navigable dollhouse view, an interactive floor plan with room dimensions, custom branding, and an embed code.

Asteroom says tours can sync with realtor.com and Zillow, and its workflow supports MLS and Realtor.com integration. That makes the service more relevant to property listings than to general-purpose virtual tours. It was founded in 2018.

Key features

Panorama capture and compatibility

The app supports panorama capture, while album uploads can be assembled into a tour automatically. Asteroom names Ricoh Theta S, SC, V, and Z1 cameras and the Insta360 ONE X as directly integrated models. Other 360-degree images can be imported if they use a 2:1 aspect ratio. The listed subscription plans require an Asteroom Pano Kit or a 360 camera, so the free tier is not a way to start with an ordinary phone alone.

Property presentation

The 3D dollhouse pairs an overhead perspective with 360-degree navigation, giving prospective buyers a way to move through a property rather than view isolated panoramas. Interactive 2D floor plans show room dimensions and connect to the tour, which is useful when spatial context matters. Measurement tools are also included among Asteroom’s capabilities.

Enhancement and staging

Asteroom offers 2D still-image enhancement for $1 USD per photo and 3D staging for $35 USD per panorama on its realtor page. These are separate paid services, so agents planning to enhance a full listing should account for image-level costs beyond a tour plan.

Hosting and tour access

The Imaging Package includes 180 days of hosting, with another 180 days priced at $12 USD. When a subscription expires, the tour is archived and no longer publicly viewable, though it remains in the account and can be used again after renewal. That makes renewal important for agents who need old listing links to remain live.

Pricing

Asteroom has a free plan and paid monthly, annual, and per-tour options. The subscription plans include one user on the lower tiers and require an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera.

Basic suits a single user who already has the required capture hardware and can work within the free plan’s limits. Professional raises the allowance to 10 active tours for one user; its annual option costs less than paying the monthly rate for a full year, but has the same stated tour and seat limits. Enterprise is aimed at teams: the monthly tier allows up to 10 users and 25 active tours, while the annual tier expands those limits to 50 users and 100 active tours.

The Imaging Package is the clearest one-off route for a single property: its $59 as a one-time price covers up to 30 panoramas and includes a dollhouse, floor plan, image enhancement, and six months of hosting. Additional panoramas cost $1.50 each, and extending hosting costs $12 USD for another 180 days.

Platforms

Asteroom supports Android, iOS, and the web. That range covers mobile capture and browser-based tour workflows, while camera compatibility still depends on the named 360-degree models or correctly formatted imported images.

Who it's for

Asteroom is best suited to real estate agents and photographers who need listing-oriented tours with floor plans, dollhouse navigation, and links into property platforms. The per-tour Imaging Package also fits occasional listings better than a subscription, provided six months of hosting is enough. Teams producing tours regularly may prefer an annual Enterprise tier for its higher user and active-tour limits.

It is a weaker fit for anyone seeking a camera-free free workflow, a general virtual-tour tool outside real estate, or indefinitely public tour links without renewal. Its archive policy means subscription lapses interrupt public access.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Interactive floor plans, room dimensions, and dollhouse navigation give property viewers more spatial context than panoramas alone.
• Pros: Realtor.com, Zillow, and MLS workflows make the tours relevant to listing distribution.
• Pros: The one-time Imaging Package bundles floor plans, dollhouse output, image enhancement, and hosting for a defined tour.
• Cons: Even the free plan requires an Asteroom Pano Kit or 360 camera, limiting access for phone-only users.
• Cons: The Imaging Package caps the included tour at 30 panoramas and hosting at 180 days; extra images and hosting add costs.
• Cons: Expired subscriptions remove tours from public view until renewal, which can disrupt older listing links.

Alternatives

• GoThru is worth considering if a freemium option across more desktop platforms matters; its Pay As You Go plan is free, with 2 GB and some tour types priced separately.
• Kuula suits users looking for a free tier with up to 300 posts and a maximum of 100 uploads per month.
• Matterport is an option for users who want a free plan with one active space and two users, or need API support.
• Zillow 3D Home is the simpler choice for users seeking a free service with no per-home, service, or hosting fees.
• Panoee may fit users prioritizing self-hosting and a free plan with unlimited projects and tours.
• Pivo Tour is an alternative for users who want a one-time MLS access option, including white-label tours without the Pivo logo.
• TeliportMe is an alternative for users seeking a paid tour service with an annual Essential plan and unlimited storage and tours.
• Cupix is another option for users comparing virtual-tour software.

Verdict

Choose Asteroom if you make real estate tours regularly and want floor plans, dollhouse navigation, and listing integrations in one workflow. Its strongest case is the property-specific presentation, while the camera requirement and hosting that ends with subscription expiry are good reasons to look elsewhere if you need a phone-only start or persistent public access.
