8 | About This Side-by-Side Comparison by We Get Around Network Founder and Managing Editor Dan Smigrod | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Comparing apples-to-apples can be hard. For pricing, for example, Matterport offers many pricing options and tiers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Additionally, Matterport from time-to-time discounts its Matterport Pro3 Camera and related bundles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | The REALSEE pricing is based on their special offer pricing (through 19 April 2024, unless extended) here: https://WGAN.INFO/REALSEE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | I have made assumptions that may be different than you would make in creating an apples-to-apples comparison to help you with a purchase decision. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
