What My Matterport Classic Plan Costs vs. Today's Pricing

TomSparks

8

5 hoursFathom3D (177): I guess the monthly price increase goes hand in hand with the up front cost decrease. Pro3 now costs $2K less than Legacy users paid for them. That's $14K less for your 7 units. Even a small business with a single Pro3 and 20 active spaces may prefer to spend $4k up front and $1500 annually vs $6K up front and $750 annually. (It would take 32 months for that to even out, and money can be tight in the first few years of a business.)

The camera is overkill but this was for a vfx set up so they needed high resolution. @ron0987 Polycam is good, I can second that. If the client is OK with that you should do that to save money Tom.
