What it doesCloud platform to upload, process, view, and share large 3D laser-scan datasets from any scanner brand. Patented TurboMesh converts point clouds to lightweight meshes for streaming. Editions: BIM (scan-to-BIM, design on as-built), Twin (assets plus CAD/BIM and enterprise data), and 360 (lightweight 360 video). Lists AI-powered classification of scan data, open SDKs/APIs, a VR experience on Unreal Engine, and an unlimited-users model. Vendor says it is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliant (vendor claim). Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the homepage still describes TurboMesh, the BIM, Twin and 360 editions, AI-powered classification, open SDKs and APIs, the Unreal Engine VR experience and the unlimited model (unlimited users and web access); its navigation now also lists Cintoo Workspace, it adds GDPR compliance, and it says it is trusted by 110,000+ industry professionals (vendor claim).

Captures include photos, video, voice notes, 360 walks, and drone flights, with plan and model comparison, issue and RFI resolution, BIM coordination, and AI workflows. Progress tracking is sold as OpenSpace Track, an add-on: vendor describes AI-powered tracking with humans in the loop, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, schedule support for P6, MS Project, Asta, and Excel, no BIM required (a model can be added), and progress reports 24-48 hours after capture; it says imagery is ready in 15 minutes on average and a 25,000 sq. ft. capture typically takes 10 minutes (vendor claims). Integrations named: Procore, Autodesk, Revizto. Vendor cites 77 billion square feet captured and 132 countries served (vendor claims). Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the homepage now calls it the Visual Intelligence Platform, organised as Capture, Coordinate and Act (spot schedule risk earlier, automate routine work with AI and connect field data to business systems); it still names Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations and the 77 billion square feet and 132 countries figures (vendor claims), and lists OpenSpace at Procore Groundbreak 2026 in Orlando (Oct 20). The Track page still describes AI tracking with humans in the loop, 700+ visual components across 200+ schedule tasks, no BIM required and imagery ready in 15 minutes on average (vendor claim). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage unchanged in substance (Visual Intelligence Platform organised as Capture, Coordinate and Act; Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations; the same 77 billion square feet and 132 countries figures, vendor claims), with a Waypoint 2026 on-demand banner and AI Agents & APIs and Data Centers pages in the navigation (not read); the Track page still describes AI tracking with humans in the loop, no BIM required, imagery ready in 15 minutes on average (vendor claim) and P6, MS Project, Asta and Excel schedule support.

Core lists unlimited capture across projects of any size, capture from any device (phones, 360 cameras, drones), BIM comparison and guided onboarding; Enterprise adds SSO, OpenSpace APIs and enterprise services and support; OpenSpace Track is a subscription add-on to either. The quote form says you can ask about a Core pilot before buying. Earlier note (Oct 15, 2026): Quote-based. Vendor says pricing is based on annual construction volume (ACV) and subscription tier (Core or Enterprise), not per user or per project; Enterprise adds SSO and API access; OpenSpace Track is an add-on to either tier, sold at the project or portfolio level and priced on project type and scope tracked (Track FAQ). Annual subscriptions can cover a single project, and a Core pilot can be requested. No prices listed. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: unchanged (Core and Enterprise with no figures; Enterprise adds SSO and OpenSpace APIs; Track is an add-on to either; the quote form still offers a Core pilot). Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: unchanged (Core and Enterprise priced on annual construction volume and tier with no figures; Track an add-on to either; Core pilot on request; multi-year and single-project subscriptions); the FAQ also says all subscriptions include onboarding and support and that additions during a contract are prorated and co-termed. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: unchanged (Core and Enterprise priced on annual construction volume and tier with no figures; Enterprise adds SSO and OpenSpace APIs; Track an add-on to either, priced by project type and tracking scope; Core pilot on request; multi-year and single-project subscriptions).

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Capture type: Cintoo is scanner-agnostic and built around laser-scan point clouds, converted with its patented TurboMesh into lightweight meshes for streaming in a browser. OpenSpace captures with smartphones, 360 cameras and drones and turns walks, photos, videos and voice notes into one visual record.
  • What each is for: Cintoo pitches scan-to-BIM accuracy (BIM Edition), digital twin operations for asset owners (Twin Edition) and a 360 Edition. OpenSpace pitches field coordination for GCs, trades and owners: verify work, compare plans and models, track issues and hand over.
  • Progress tracking: OpenSpace Track is a separately priced add-on that, per the vendor, tracks over 700 visual components across 200+ schedule tasks with AI plus human review, returns reports in 24-48 hours, works without BIM, and connects to P6, MS Project, Asta and Excel schedules. Cintoo lists tracking real site progress as a use case and offers AI-powered classification of scan data.
  • Pricing shape: neither publishes prices. Cintoo offers a free 30-day trial and says its model is unlimited users and unlimited web access. OpenSpace prices by annual construction volume and tier (Core or Enterprise), not per user or per project, with Enterprise adding SSO and API access and a Core pilot available on request.
  • Integrations: OpenSpace names Procore, Autodesk and Revizto. Cintoo points to open SDKs and APIs for BIM, GIS and digital twin platforms, plus a streaming SDK and an Unreal Engine VR app.
  • Not used here: customer quotes, user counts and ROI figures on either vendor's site.

Questions to ask in your review

  • What a Cintoo subscription costs after the trial and how editions are priced
  • What OpenSpace Core costs at a given annual construction volume, and what Track adds per project
  • Whether teams that laser-scan and also do 360 walks run both tools side by side
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
