Matterport Services Pricing Guide: Costs, Factors, and Deliverables Explained

Most people researching Matterport pricing quickly hit the same frustration: no one explains it clearly. Providers often hide behind vague ranges or avoid publishing numbers altogether.

At Perspective 3D, we take a different approach. While every project is unique, we want you to understand exactly what drives the cost of a Matterport scan so you can budget realistically and compare providers with confidence.

By grasping the nuances of Matterport services pricing, you can ensure that you are getting fair offers and know what to expect when it comes to your budget.

Key Takeaways on Matterport Services Pricing

• Scope is king. Square footage and complexity drive most of the cost.
• Technology matters. LiDAR (Pro3) adds accuracy and cost compared to Pro2.
• Deliverables = value. Floor plans, TruePlan, E57 point clouds, and BIM/CAD add-ons increase price.
• Hosting is ongoing. Your 3D model requires active hosting in the Matterport cloud.
• Transparency prevents surprises. Always request an itemized estimate (scanning, deliverables, travel, hosting).

Matterport Pricing Breakdown by Factor

Factor	Typical Tiers	Impact on Pricing
Scope (Square Footage)	Small (<3,000 sq. ft.) → Medium (3,000–10,000) → Large (10,000+)	Bigger spaces = more scanning time, more alignment, more processing.
Technology (Capture Method)	Pro2 (standard) vs. Pro3 (LiDAR)	LiDAR adds cost but delivers higher accuracy and point cloud outputs.
Deliverables (Outputs)	Tour (included) → Add-ons: Floor Plans, TruePlan, E57, BIM, Photos	Each deliverable adds value but increases processing and fees.
Hosting	Initial period included → Monthly/annual fees after	Required to keep your model live in the Matterport cloud.
Time	Standard (24–72 hrs) → Rush/off-hours	Faster delivery or after-hours scanning adds cost.
Travel	Local (included) → Remote (mileage, lodging)	Remote or multi-day jobs increase total project cost.
