| so... I was doing some research on pricing, Is this really where the pricing is heading? Take a look below at what i came across is it me... or is this ridiculous.... "... Truly amazing and CHEAP. (Hint: my competitors charge around $300.) I only charge a flat rate of $99.00 for Any Home. Any Size"! >(They are advertised as the lowest cost Matterport virtual tour provider in US and don't worry i am not going to say what company) Not blasting anyone, just looking to not be discouraged. |

| clickable text You are not blasting anyone. You are simply being assertive and stating a fact. We should ALL be aware of what the market is bearing and every strategy competitors are using. |

| I have a local photographer that charges 0.05 per sq foot. 3000 sq foot home for $150. Makes it tough but I'm still sticking with my pricing. | ||

| Pricing is up to the individual obviously. I'm assuming that every real estate agent in their market with a 7000 to 10,000 sq ft property will probably take them up on the deal and they will be working for $99 a long day. | ||

| I've always believed the key to not undervaluing 3d services is to work together to set minimum prices for different job types/sizes and have an incentive to adhere to these community agreed prices. This seems more important than ever. With such an incredible community there's just no need to low ball each other when we could all just work together to agree on minimum prices that are fair and reflective of the work involved in particular jobs. We don't need Matterport's involvement to do this, just an honest and open discussion of what works across the board. This is pretty much a brand new industry with no real precedent, so why not use this opportunity to set the direction ourselves? | ||

| @TierOneVentures Maybe you can get them to do your tours for you and pocket the extra money! I honestly believe this is the way it is going. I did not look too hard at that site but I bet everything is ala cart. They draw them in and before the client knows, they are at $500. |

| @StevenTing...I must sound like a broken record to most of the folks here but...your not charging enough...your devaluating everyone's work by charging so little. | ||

| At $0.05/sqft, the guy is also paying the $19 or $38 processing fee too ... what you're not seeing is how much business he's generating. Me thinks that if he gets busy and starts booking too many scans, his pricing will go up. | ||

People are free to charge what they like, if they want to charge peanuts then so be it. Let's face it, it's not a difficult job - it's the tech that creates the product, all we do is facilitate it by pressing a few buttons on an ipad. There are several London companies now charging £50 for studio flats and £99 for 4 bed houses up to 4000 sq ft. That's the way it's headed, through the floor. |

Interesting points. Let's see how it plays out over the coming months and years. It seems the vast majority want to go solo when it comes to pricing and I respect that. I'm an idealist though and want every 3D pro to succeed. It's still early enough to set benchmarks and there's no precedent so in my simple mind I figure, why not? Many will disagree though and I don't think I've ever had a positive response to the idea of agreeing on minimum prices so nobody gets left behind. That probably says it all  |
