| Hi, I consider myself as a Matterport fan. But when it comes to prices of the subscription plans and the different features it's another story. I can understand that a starter account is for those who are only hosting a few models or capturing at a small scale. I can not understand you need a Business account for Matterport allowing you to use the more advanced Pro2 camera to capture a space. In my opinion this is a silly decision by Matterport! I already gave my hard earned money to Matterport for this very expensive camera (Heck, I could have bought a Canon EOS R5 for this amount of money) which is very limited in use otherwise. On top of this I can not use my Starter account with the Pro2. How silly is that please? So my idea is to get a Business account from time to time for shooting purposes with the PRO2 and then transferring the models to my Starter account. Then I can cancel the Business account when I don't have to shoot the Pro2 with the nice opportunity which Matterport thankfully offers to reactivate it one day when I want to shoot with the Pro2 again. Is this possible in the first place? In short: One Photographer - multiple accounts - canceling the expensive account when not needed - reactivating it when needed. PS: Is there any account sharing practice out there? Someone has a large account and offering it to others for a small amount of money accourding to the usage? |

| @monoffoto "Spaces can be transferred into a Free or Starter account from an account with a higher subscription," according to Matterport. That said, "Transferring a space into a Free account will automatically set the space as private, because spaces in Free accounts cannot be publicly shared. ... You cannot transfer a Pro3 space into a Free account." Does that help? Dan |

| The “New” current plans support any of the Matterport supported cameras (360’s or Pro) Classic plans however, are charged more for the processing if a supported 360 camera or the BLK camera is used. In addition the Classic plans do NOT support Matterport’s new Pro3 camera |

| @monoffoto My impression is that you could: 1. Maintain a Matterport Start account ($9.99 per month) (which can not process Pro2 and Pro3 scans). 2. Get a Professional account to process Pro2 shot scans; transfer to Starter and cancel Professional. Does that help? Dan |

@DanSmigrod OK this was my idea. And I already know, that a Free account is basically useless  .Then I could ask: May Matterport have a problem with a guy who has a small business called monoffoto and has a Starter account with email address A and the same guy starts and cancels another account with his email address B? |

| @lilnitsch a starter account supports Pro2 and Pro3 cameras but only if somoene else transferred the spaces. But: You can not upload and process a Pro2 or Pro3 camera scan to a Starter account. |

| @monoffoto I’m in the same boat with the Pro3. My main bread and butter is a sizable nationwide builder. I have explained the situation to them and now I wait to see if they are going to upgrade their plan from business to professional | ||
