The short version

  • Only Matterport has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Matterport the free plan allows 1 active space and 2 users; MRI Software the portfolio grew by acquisition, so products overlap, interfaces are inconsistent between lines, and moving from one MRI product to another is a migration rather than a configuration change.
  • They diverge on capability: Matterport covers 3D capture, MRI Software covers Commercial lease accounting.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Matterport

  • The free plan allows 1 active space and 2 users
  • The plans page shows no dollar amounts; price is set by the number of active spaces and only appears after selecting a plan
  • Paid plans are billed annually and each tier caps both active spaces and users, from 5 to 20 spaces and 3 users on Starter up to 100 to 300 spaces and 50 users on Business
  • Enterprise and government plans are contact sales with no published rate
  • Spaces beyond the plan allowance require moving to a higher tier rather than paying an incremental fee shown on the page

MRI Software

  • The portfolio grew by acquisition, so products overlap, interfaces are inconsistent between lines, and moving from one MRI product to another is a migration rather than a configuration change.
  • Which product is strong depends on the country: the Australian and New Zealand agency products came from Rockend and Palace, the United Kingdom commercial strength came from Qube, and a reference from one region tells you very little about another.
  • Pricing is quoted, modular and multi-year, so the number that gets a deal approved usually omits connectors, additional modules and the implementation, and the real total arrives later.
  • Implementations take months and need external consultants, which means the cost of ownership includes a services relationship you cannot avoid.
  • Support experience varies by acquired product line, so the service level a reference customer describes may come from a different team than the one that will handle your product.
