| Has anyone ever thought how to tackle long time storage on the Matterport Cloud. For example if you going to do some hospitality scans, imagine they would want to keep this for eternity online. I don't want Matterport to charge me a zillion bucks for it. Imagine the cost for like 50 years! Any idea/suggestions how to tackle this problem? |

| thanks, how much do you charge? And do they own the ownership of the 3D model, do you give them access to matterport portal? | ||

| You don't even own the models unfortunately I'd be more concerned if matterport goes out of business or has a storage failure. We can't host our own models. If they go down, we go down too |

| thats also my concern, don't like to see that in 50 years. If it does happen, and you charge them a annual fee, they can sue you right? Maybe signing a mutual contract will get us out of this trouble. | ||

| Yep you need a nice disclaimer stating it's hosted by a 3rd party and using the service constitue a release of liability | ||

| I think technology is changing too fast to worry about long term (more than 5 years) storage. I think they'll be much better options and even private hosting options in the future. | ||

| Guys I'm bit confused...Why are you concern about host/cost/time?for example,if I host 50 models and have a basic contract (max 100 models hosted)I should pay $49 x12 months right? Which means that year #2 I still pay the same...or there will be additional costs? We started our business recently and clients are reluctant to accept paying annual fees. | ||

| I'm concerned about hosting if their server goes down, or they go out of business. It's unlikely, but it could happen. I don't charge hosting until yr 2, and then it's $50 per year. If you can have at least 12 people doing this, your minimum monthly cost is covered. |

| Well, tha reality is that if they go out of business,so do I, so it probably won't matter. We offer 6 mow free and then $3 a month after that in 6 mon increments (prepaid). The idea is to have a few long term accounts to pay that monthly fee.. | ||

| @ jamie that would be a suitable solution @ andreabortolot, like Jamie said before, if their hosting goes down, we are too. Clients will be pissed off and we're even more further from home. But putting a disclaimer out there would save a lot of trouble. Then again, if all of your 100 models are for long time storages, for example hotel rooms, you will be paying each month 100 models for your clients only. $499 a year. Unless you charge them, otherwise you won't cover up the costs. |

| I'm at the point in my matterport experience that i'm beginning to get confused. I don't think I understand the hosting fees. a few days ago I signed up for the Professional $99 /month 7 free models per month – a $133 value Because I had 2 old and four new scans this month, I thought I needed to increase my number of models per month (had three before) But as I read this thread and re-read the order form, I am thinking that the old ones don't count towards the free models per month. 2 models apply to the Max Models Hosted and 4 apply the number of free models per month... Am I right on this? It would be a huge relief as people really bulked when I quoted $20.00 hosting! |

| Ok so here is how it works All plans are monthly and only count for the models you upload during that time PST You don't get credit if you don't use your monthly allowance. Use it or lose it $49 gives you 3 models per month, 100 hosted and 5 collaborators (additional people on your account) $99 gives you 5 per month, 200 hosted and 20 collaborators $149 gives you 11 per month, 300 hosted and 50 collaborators Each model over your allowance is $19 each If your scans are between 3-100 it is counted as 1. If it's between 101-200 it's 2. So be careful If you opt to pay for 12 months access you get 2 months for free. Does that help? |

| I'm surprised how low you guys are quoting your hosting costs. I was thinking more around the $20 range per month. Maybe adding a discounted rate Vs how many they have with me bring the cost down per tour. I may be way off the mark though ;p |

| I charge: 1 year: $100 2 years: $150 3 years: $200 Since the bulk of my clients are developers, they usually don't need the Tour for more than 3 years. |

| Yep you are correct Your $149 monthly fee includes 11 models. Remember up to 100 scans is 1 model and above this is counted as 2. The balance is charged at $19 each. If you are doing very high volume, give them a call and see what they can do about the price. You can also get a yearly plan and basically get 2 months/22 models for free by paying in advance |
