krpano compared with Matterport
krpano is a toolkit, not an end-user product with a camera. Tour creation takes more technical work than a cloud platform.
In return, the viewer can be customised and kept on your own server.
Where it falls short
krpano needs technical skills, offers no scanner and no hosted dashboard on the pages we read, and has no phone support. Prices were not read. For an editor with a visual interface see Pano2VR.
Best suited to users of krpano
Developers and agencies who want to script custom viewers and tours and host them on their own servers.
