Matterport Virtual Tour Cost in the UK: What a Scan Costs and What Moves the Price
What a Matterport 3D virtual tour costs in the UK: scans from £350 priced on floor area, hosting at £60 a year per scan, floor plans, stills and BIM add-ons, how a scan compares with a bespoke 360 tour and Google Street View, and when the format is the right choice.
Matterport is the format most people have in mind when they ask what a 3D virtual tour costs: the dollhouse view, the floor plan, the walk-through you can measure. This is what it costs from a professional Matterport service provider in the UK, what you pay for afterwards, and when it is the right format rather than the familiar one.
The price
Our Matterport 3D scans start from £350 and are priced on floor area, because the camera is moved every few metres and a bigger floor is more positions and more time. A three-bedroom house, a show home, a café, a clinic or a small office sits at the starting price. A large office floor, a school, a hotel or a warehouse is quoted on the plan. There are no travel charges anywhere in mainland UK and the scan is usually live within a few days of the visit.
What you pay for afterwards
Matterport tours live on Matterport's own platform, and that costs £60 a year per scan, which we quote with the scan so the whole cost is in front of you. It is the one thing to understand about the format: the tour is rented, not owned, and it stays live while the hosting is paid. A bespoke 360 tour has no yearly fee; a Google Street View tour is hosted by Google for nothing.
Add-ons from the same visit
Still photography from £150, shot on the same visit for portals, brochures and social. Schematic floor plans, with measurements, for sales particulars and space planning. Point-cloud and BIM files for architects and facilities teams. Branded hosting and custom hotspots within what Matterport allows. If you need more than that, a drawn interface, embedded documents and video, routes and an accessibility audit, you have outgrown the format; when Matterport might not be the best choice covers the line.
What moves the price
Floor area first. Then how many separate buildings or floors there are, because each is set up and linked. Then whether the space can be scanned as found or has to be dressed, cleared or visited out of hours. Add-ons last. The format itself is fixed-price in a way bespoke work is not, which is why it is the right answer for a lot of property and commercial jobs and the wrong one for a flagship.

Questions people ask
Does the £350 include the Matterport hosting?
The first year is quoted alongside the scan so there is no surprise; after that it is £60 a year per scan, paid to keep the tour live on Matterport's platform. If you stop paying, the tour goes offline.
Can we get the floor plan and the measurements?
Yes. Schematic floor plans, point-cloud and BIM files are available from the same scan as add-ons, which is why Matterport suits property, architecture and facilities work.
Is Matterport cheaper than a bespoke tour?
To buy, yes: from £350 against from £700. Over five years a scan has cost £350 plus £300 in hosting and looks like every other Matterport tour; a bespoke tour has cost £700 once and carries your branding. Choose on what the tour is for, not the first invoice.
