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
Redfin
- Listing fee is 1% of the sale price, and the mortgage savings claim of up to $12,000 requires financing through partner Rocket Mortgage rather than applying to all sellers
- Same-day on-demand home tours and 3D walkthroughs are offered through Redfin's own agents and app, not through third-party agents on the platform
