I find I get the most views from VeerVR than anywhere else I’ve uploaded my stuff. They are working to improve the experience all the time, so it should only get better. You can set the starting POV for both photo and video. You can’t set multiple POI’s during a video though like you can with facebook. You can organise your photos by creating collections, but you can’t embed them like Kuula. You can add stickers and emojis to your photos. It’s still worth uploading your stuff just for the views alone, most of my photos have 1.5K views.

With Facebook you can easily upload and share your panoramic 360 photos to all your friends and you can set the photos to public or private. I like the feature that Facebook allows you to set the original starting viewpoint and with videos they allow you to set multiple POI’s at time during the video, so that you can attract people’s attention by showing a very interesting point.

Kuula works on both mobile and desktop, you can also discover some amazing 360 images each day. This is great for organising your 360 photos. You can create collections, one photo can be added to as many collections as you want and embed that entire collection to your website creating a slideshow and you can choose to show with or without thumbnails. You can share your 360 photo on Kuula, to Facebook, Twitter or simply send a link to your photo via email or IM. Easily embed any photo to your own website with iframes. You can set auto rotate, change the speed, reverse rotation, add sun & lens flares, transitions, stickers and emojis. Supports 3D 360 photos. If your a pro, you can batch upload, add your own logo, create virtual tours and create unlisted posts. You can now replace existing photo uploads instead of having to re upload them, which would mean keeping your analytic data.

Similar to Kuula you can create collections and one photo can be added to as many collections as you want. However you can only share the collection, there is no embed feature, so you can’t add it to your website. You can embed individual photos with iframes and easily share them to all social platforms.

Kuula has made huge strides since the start of 2018 and have blown away the other virtual tour sites and now supports 3D 360. If your a pro it lets you create the usual stuff you get with Virtual Tour sites but also you can add numerous, logos, transitions, stickers, lens flares, filters, emojis and allows gaze navigation when your wearing a headset. You can batch upload, add your own logo, add clickable links in post descriptions, create unlisted posts. Supports 3D 360 photos.

Garden Gnome, Pano2VR. Probably the most widely known Virtual tour builder and still one of the best out there. Its not as easy to use as the ones above, but it does have the ability to publish to Google Street View. The price of a licence may seem steep, but it is a one off fee that should pay for itself pretty quickly if you’re being paid to upload virtual tours.

3D Vista is another one off payment, priced even more than Pano2VR, but this does seem to offer more abilities and options at your disposal. It even comes with a stitcher program. I especially like the live panorama day to night, live hdr effects and 360 video tours.

Now Veer have officially released their virtual tour software, it’s still fairly basic, I can link with hotspots add background music, all the expected basics. You can also create 360 video virtual tours.  They will be adding more features, but the important fact is this will always be completely free to use.

Another interesting platform that is pay as you go. Seems very easy to use, you can add floor plans, plugins including areas of interest, points of interest and table booking. You can also add Analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager.

Another interesting platform that is completely free to use. Seems very easy to use, you can add floor plans, GPS with drag & drop on google maps and you can even set up Google analytics. It has a handy device emulator so you can easily see what the tour will look like on computer, tablet or mobile. Max image dimensions: 10000 x 5000 pixels. Max image size: 20Mb.

Very simple for street view photographers allowing you to publish straight to google for as little as £10 a tour

Cupix is Google Street View ready posting. They are out of Beta and released the full version, so you now have pricing options. You can still use it for free, but that is limited to no more than 3 tours a month. They have based their pricing on the size of your tour in GB, plus you can add a further 3 optional packages for editing features. You do have to take a lot of photos, every 3 feet or so, but once taken its just a case of uploading them. Cupix then reads everything from the file and will automatically create links to each photo for you and the best bit it even creates a 3D floor plan. This does then allow you to experience actually being there, you can move through the picture and it moves with you, instead of clicking an arrow and skipping to another photo, though that option is there also. Personally I find it to be very fiddly and time consuming.
