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; Reconstruct pricing is quoted with nothing published, so a buyer cannot sanity-check a proposal against a list rate and has no way to know whether the price scales with projects, square footage or users until deep in the sales process.
  • They diverge on capability: Matterport covers 3D capture, Reconstruct covers Device-agnostic capture.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Matterport

  • Creating navigable 3D digital twins of properties and buildingsnot Reconstruct
  • Publishing virtual property tours for real estate listingsnot Reconstruct
  • Capturing as built spatial documentation of commercial sitesnot Reconstruct

Reconstruct

  • A general contractor whose monthly progress claim is regularly challenged by the owner, needing dated visual evidence tied to schedule activities rather than a folder of photosnot Matterport
  • An owner running projects in several countries who wants to cut executive site visits without accepting the contractor’s self-reported percentage completenot Matterport
  • A healthcare or data centre fit-out where above-ceiling services must be recorded before they are closed up, so later maintenance does not require demolitionnot Matterport
  • A delay or defect dispute where the decisive question is what was physically in place on a specific date and the only other evidence is contested emailnot Matterport

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

Reconstruct

  • Pricing is quoted with nothing published, so a buyer cannot sanity-check a proposal against a list rate and has no way to know whether the price scales with projects, square footage or users until deep in the sales process.
  • The whole value depends on disciplined recurring capture, and site teams treat walking the building with a camera as a low-priority chore, so datasets go stale exactly when a dispute makes them valuable.
  • Photogrammetry from handheld footage is less accurate than laser scanning, so it is fine for progress and coordination but should not be relied on for tight as-built tolerances or prefabrication dimensions.
  • Schedule alignment requires a well-structured schedule with activities that map to physical locations; on projects where the programme is a coarse rolled-up bar chart the progress calculation is close to meaningless.
  • It is another platform alongside Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud rather than a replacement, so buyers add a subscription and a workflow rather than consolidating one, and the business case has to survive that.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Matterport: Does Matterport offer a free account option?

Yes, Matterport offers a 'Start Free' option that allows users to create accounts and begin using the platform without immediate payment.

Reconstruct: How much does Reconstruct cost?

Not published. It is quoted per project or portfolio. Ask specifically whether the price scales by project count, square footage or capture volume, because those give very different totals.

Matterport: How can I access Matterport's pricing details?

Specific pricing information is available on a dedicated Pricing page or by contacting Matterport's sales team at +1(888) 993-8990 or through the 'Get a Demo' option.

Reconstruct: Do we need a drone or a laser scanner?

No. It works from 360 cameras and even smartphone video. Drones and scanners improve exterior and accuracy-critical coverage.

Matterport: What industries can use Matterport's solutions?

Matterport serves multiple industries including Corporate Real Estate, Property Marketing, Facilities Management, and Design & Construction, suggesting pricing may vary by industry use case.

Source
Reconstruct: How accurate is it?

Accurate enough for progress, coordination and dispute evidence. It is not a substitute for survey-grade laser scanning where tolerances matter.

Reconstruct: Who owns the captured data at closeout?

The customer. Confirm the export format and retention terms in the contract before handover, because a reality archive is only useful if you can still open it in five years.

Reconstruct: Does it replace Procore?

No. It integrates with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud and adds the visual as-built layer.
