You may not need a new tour. You may need a smarter one.
Path links to the Matterport model you already have and puts Ella, Path's AI concierge, on top. She walks buyers room by room, answers their questions 24/7 in 42+ languages, and shows your team who's serious.
No re-scan. No re-hosting. Matterport keeps doing its part.
Why teams look for a Matterport alternative
Before you rip anything out, name the problem.
Cost. Matterport plans are priced on Active Spaces, and Matterport says tours need an active subscription to stay live.
Visibility. Matterport's analytics show visits, impressions and unique visitors. Its plans page doesn't list buyer-intent or lead scoring, and a visit count alone doesn't show which visitor is ready to buy.
Buyer questions. As of September 2026, Matterport's plans and AI feature pages don't list a built-in chat or voice assistant for buyers, so questions still come to your team.
Only the first one is about the tour. The other two are about what happens around it.
Do you need a new tour, or a smarter one?
If your tours look good and buyers use them, keep them. Path works on top.
Paste your public Matterport share link into Path. Path loads your model through Matterport's own SDK and adds an AI guide over it. Matterport still hosts the 3D model. Nothing is re-scanned.
You don't need a Matterport API key, an SDK key or an account connection. The share link is enough. Linking Matterport tours is available on Path+ and above.
How Path works on your Matterport tour
Paste your link. In Path, go to Create property > Full Path Experience > Link a 3D walkthrough. Add the property name, address and your public Matterport share link or model ID, then pick your AI agent.
Path builds the guided tour. It reads your Mattertags, takes a snapshot at each one, names every space and merges tags that sit in the same room. Then it plans the room order, questions and narration. It usually takes about a minute.
Buyers take the tour. They pick a guided tour or explore on their own. The concierge moves them between rooms, answers by voice or text, and pins nearby schools, restaurants and transit on a map with walking and driving times.
Your team sees who's serious. Every visitor who starts the tour lands in your dashboard with a 0-100 Conversion Score, what they asked and the full conversation. Sync to HubSpot or Follow Up Boss, or export to CSV.
Few Mattertags? Path groups the scan points into rooms instead. Scanned as several models, like one per floor? Add each link and Path combines them into one tour.

Matterport vs. Matterport with Path
This isn't either/or. The right-hand column assumes you keep Matterport.
Sources: the Matterport column comes from Matterport's own website (plans page, Property Intelligence page and blog), checked September 2026. The Path column describes Path's product as of September 2026. Plans and features change, so check each company for current details.
Matterport is a trademark of its owner. Path is not affiliated with or endorsed by Matterport.

When Matterport alone is enough
Path isn't for every listing. Stick with Matterport on its own if:
Buyers mostly need to see the space, and your team already answers every inquiry fast.
You need measurements, MLS-ready property reports or AI-written listing descriptions. That's Matterport's Property Intelligence, not Path.
You sell in VR headsets. Matterport runs in the Meta Quest Browser. Path doesn't support headsets.
You only want a guided tour. Matterport's Auto-Tours, announced in open beta for Professional+ plans in April 2026, builds one with AI.
Cost per listing matters most. Matterport has a free plan and says paid pricing starts at $14/month. Path's Matterport support starts on Path+.
Know who's serious, not just how many visited
A view count shows how many people came. Path shows who they are and how interested they seem.
Visitor Profiles: every visitor gets a 0-100 Conversion Score built from engagement, recency and the buyer profile they share on the tour.
Hot Leads: budget, timeline, preferences and financing signals, with AI-drafted emails and call scripts for follow-up.
Property Insights: the questions people ask most, where visitors come from, buyer intent, household mix, purchase timeline and sentiment.
Email updates: a new-visitor email with a summary of the conversation, and a weekly digest of top visitors and key insights.
Turn tour traffic into named leads
Before the tour starts, visitors leave their name, email and phone and agree that their details go to the listing agent. Those leads land in your Path dashboard.
Share each tour with its permanent link, or embed it on your site as a chat widget, an inline iFrame or a full-screen landing page. It works with WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace or custom code.
Path looks up each visitor's country and connects those it locates in the EU, EEA or UK to a separate server set aside for GDPR.
Not on Matterport? Path works with what you have
Matterport: Path auto-builds the guided tour from your model.
Other 3D tours: Realsee, Enviz, Marble or another https tour link that allows embedding. Path embeds it and adds the AI guide. Automatic room detection is Matterport-only.
360° photos: upload one per space and Path names each room.
Listing photos: Path Lite builds a photo tour from your website's images and sorts them into spaces.
Nothing yet: choose Have Path produce it. Path's team can shoot 360° on-site or build CGI renders from your plans.
360° and 3D tours are on Path+ and above. Path Lite covers photo tours, and you can try it free for 14 days.

Nate Robert-Eze was named to Inman's 2026 Future Leaders in Real Estate, in the Founders & Entrepreneurs category.
Questions about Path and Matterport
Straight answers for teams already on Matterport.
Do I have to replace my Matterport tours to use Path?
No. Paste your public Matterport share link into Path. Path loads your model through Matterport's SDK and adds the AI guide on top. Matterport keeps hosting the 3D model, and nothing is re-scanned.
Do I still need a Matterport subscription?
Plan to keep it. Path doesn't copy or re-host your model. It loads it live from Matterport, and Matterport says tours need an active subscription to stay live and go offline if you cancel.
Do I need a Matterport API key or developer access?
No. Path uses its own Matterport SDK key. You paste the public share link (a my.matterport.com/show/?m= link) or the model ID. There's no Matterport account to connect.
Which Path plan works with Matterport?
Path+ and above. 360° and 3D tours, including Matterport, aren't part of Path Lite. The 14-day free trial is on Path Lite, which covers photo tours, so book a demo to see Path on your Matterport model.
What if my model has few Mattertags, or the property is split across several scans?
Both work. With fewer than two labeled Mattertags, Path groups the scan points into rooms, and if that fails it creates one space for the whole model. For several models, like one per floor, click Add another Matterport model and Path combines them into one tour.
Does Path work with other 3D tour providers?
Yes. Links from Realsee, Enviz, Marble or another https tour that allows embedding are embedded with the AI guide on top. Automatic room detection only works with Matterport. Path also works with 360° photos and standard listing photos.
