Matterport vs OpenSpace

Two ways to put jobsite reality in front of people who are not on site. Not like-for-like (our reading): Matterport is a general 3D capture and digital-twin platform for real estate, facilities and design and construction, sold self-serve on published monthly plans by number of active spaces; OpenSpace is a construction visual-intelligence platform that builds one visual record from phone, 360°, video and drone captures, with AI progress tracking sold as an add-on and quotes based on annual construction volume. Vendor pages read Oct 22, 2026; desk research, not tested, no winner.

What it doesPlatform for capturing and sharing immersive 3D digital twins for design and construction, facilities, real estate and property marketing. Construction use includes Procore and Autodesk integrations; facilities management, corporate real estate and property marketing (3D tours, floor plans, photos) are also listed. Offers a free start tier and an online store. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the plans page (rendered in a headless browser) also lists AI-powered defurnishing of a property among Professional features, Cotality and Xactimate among file exports (additional charges apply), and, for Enterprise, audit logs, monthly usage reporting, full API and SDK access and Capture Services technicians in 700 cities worldwide. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: homepage and plans page unchanged in substance; the Enterprise list names connected AECO workflows with Autodesk Forma and Procore, and the homepage carries a notice that Matterport customers can publish their 3D tours anywhere. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage and plans page (rendered in a headless browser) unchanged in substance (design and construction use through Procore and Autodesk integrations; AI-powered defurnishing on Professional; Enterprise lists SSO/SAML, audit logs, connected AECO workflows with Autodesk Forma and Procore, full API and SDK access and Capture Services in 700+ cities; the publish-anywhere notice is still on the homepage).Visual intelligence platform that turns site photos, video, 360 walks and drone flights into one visual record, with add-on progress tracking. 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.

Pricing (as publicly stated)Plans page lists Professional plans by number of active spaces, paid monthly: 10 spaces $90/month, 20 $125, 30 $165, 50 $245, 75 $345, 100 $430, 150 $585; 200+ spaces through sales. The 10-space plan shows $90/month on an annual plan billed $1,080/year ($108 month-to-month); yearly billing is advertised as saving 16%. Professional includes 10 users; some file exports (floor plan, CAD, BIM, E57 and others) carry additional charges. A Pro3 Plus package (Pro3 LiDAR camera with a Professional 50 plan) is listed at $1,995, marked down from $4,495, or $245/month for 24 months. Enterprise is custom through sales. The homepage also mentions a free start option. (Checked Oct 15, 2026; unchanged Oct 19, 2026 on the rendered plans page, including the Pro3 Plus package at $1,995 or $245/month for 24 months.) Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: no price changes (Professional 10 spaces $90/month on an annual plan or $108 month-to-month, 20 $125, 30 $165, 50 $245, 75 $345, 100 $430, 150 $585; yearly billing advertised as saving 16%; Pro3 Plus package $1,995, marked down from $4,495, or $245/month for 24 months; Enterprise custom).

Pricing page re-checked Oct 16 and Oct 19, 2026 (unchanged; multi-year subscriptions are offered): Core and Enterprise subscriptions with no prices. 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.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What you capture: Matterport creates measurable, immersive 3D digital twins with its own cameras and apps; its Pro3 Plus package bundles the Pro3 LiDAR camera with a Professional 50 plan. OpenSpace captures from any device (smartphones, 360° cameras and drones), including photos, video, voice notes and 360° walks, and maps them into one visual record of the job from day one through turnover.
  • Construction workflow: Matterport's design and construction page talks about integrating with Procore and Autodesk to reduce site visits and improve communication; its Enterprise plan lists connected AECO workflows with Autodesk Forma and Procore. OpenSpace organizes the platform as Capture, Coordinate and Act (verify work, compare plans and models, track progress, resolve issues, RFIs and punch items) and names Procore, Autodesk and Revizto integrations.
  • Progress tracking and AI: OpenSpace Track is an add-on that the vendor describes as AI-powered tracking with humans in the loop, with no BIM model required and schedule support for P6, MS Project, Asta and Excel. Matterport's plans page names AI-powered defurnishing of a property among Professional features; we did not find construction progress AI on the Matterport pages read.
  • Who does the capture: Matterport is self-serve with a Start Free option, and Enterprise adds access to Capture Services technicians in 700+ cities. OpenSpace describes project teams capturing their own sites with phones, 360° cameras or drones, and says all subscriptions include onboarding and support, with deeper onboarding on Enterprise.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 22, 2026): Matterport publishes Professional plans by active spaces, from 10 spaces at $90/month on an annual plan ($1,080/year) or $108 month-to-month up to 150 spaces at $585/month, with 10 users included and 200+ spaces through sales; some exports carry extra charges; the Pro3 Plus package is $1,995 (marked down from $4,495) or $245/month for 24 months; Enterprise is custom. OpenSpace publishes no figures: Core and Enterprise are priced on annual construction volume and tier rather than per user or per project, Track is an add-on, single-project and multi-year subscriptions are offered, and a Core pilot can be requested.
  • Not used here: OpenSpace's square-feet-captured and country counts, customer-story ROI headings and customer quotes, and Matterport's marketing claims (vendor material). Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
