Momento360 vs Moorea 2026: sharing or delivering
Momento360 is the shortest path to showing someone a sphere. This guide says what is missing to deliver a tour a client will keep for years.
To get a drone panorama in front of somebody else within five minutes, Momento360 is hard to beat: you upload the equirectangular, you get a link, and whoever receives it installs nothing and creates no account. No product in our category, Moorea included, does that journey in fewer steps.
That is the concession, and it is real. Their free tier genuinely works. Their annotations export to a document, which Moorea’s Atelier does not do. They are even the only editor in our panel to devote a whole page to drone panoramas.
We are Moorea, this page is signed, and everything that follows argues for our product on the ground that separates us: what happens after the share.
A shared link and a commercial deliverable are not the same object. An aerial virtual tour you invoice carries a name, your client’s, lives on their domain, captures leads, is navigated by trade and still has to work in three years.
Momento360 claims none of that, and that is coherent: it is a sharing utility, not a delivery platform.
The table
| Criterion | Momento360 | Moorea |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | upload, sharing and embedding of 360 media | aerial virtual tour platform, from panorama to deliverable |
| Resolution displayed | 4K on the free tier, 8K on the paid tiers | multi-resolution tiles, up to 512 Mpx per viewpoint |
| Brand on the player | watermark up to the Pro tier, then a clickable logo | badge removed, accent colour, logo at the nadir |
| The link's domain | momento360.com | your client's domain, certificate issued and renewed automatically |
| Lead capture | absent from the grid and the documentation | a lead form, or a persistent call to action |
| The tour's map | a document or an image placed behind | satellite map, or a plan you supply, with repositionable points |
| Trade navigation | media collections, with no structure specific to a trade | golf, campsite, winery, marina, construction, new-build templates |
| Client sign-off | notes inside the sphere, exportable to a document | the Atelier: threads anchored in the 360, guests without accounts, layer closed at delivery |
| Views and lifespan | no view quota announced; storage is the counter that counts | no view quota, no bandwidth cap, no expiry |
| What drives the price | storage: 750 MB, 100 GB, 250 GB, 500 GB, from $0 to $42.50 a month billed annually | the tier of capabilities: €0, €9, €19 and €39 excl. VAT a month |
The link carries the platform’s name, not your client’s
At Momento360, brand arrives on the Pro tier
That is the most visible gap, because it is the first one your client sees. At Momento360, brand customisation arrives on the Pro tier and is limited, per their documentation recorded August 2026, to a logo and the address that logo points to.
The shared link itself stays on momento360.com: no custom domain is documented. Below the
Pro tier, the editor’s watermark shows on every share and every embed.
At Moorea, the brand is a first-class object
Moorea treats brand as a first-class object, not an option at the bottom of the grid. The custom domain is set up with a CNAME, the certificate is issued and renewed without anyone touching it, and it covers the public player and the embed alike.
The accent colour is checked on save against the player’s dark surfaces: below a contrast of 3 to 1 it is refused, which avoids the unreadable blue of a client in a hurry. The logo can also be reprojected under the visitor’s feet, at the nadir.
It looks cosmetic. It is not: a tour is a sales asset, and a sales asset carrying somebody else’s name is worth less. For a drone pilot delivering to clients, it is in fact the first resale argument.
A panorama capped at 8K leaves most of the mission on the ground
A drone panorama re-stitched from raw frames routinely passes 200 megapixels. A display capped at 8,192 pixels wide shows about 34 of them: the rest never leaves your hard drive.
That is the structural limit of a tool that serves first as a file drop, where the file matters more than the render.
Resolution displayed per viewpoint
Momento360
8K
about 34 megapixels, and 4K on the free tier
Moorea
512 Mpx
in multi-resolution tiles, sources accepted up to 32,000 px wide
Moorea takes the problem from the other end. The source is cut into a pyramid of tiles, and the player only downloads the level and the portion it is displaying.
That is what lets you zoom in on a welcome sign, a pontoon number or a buoy without watching mush arrive. And it is the one criterion that really decides for an aerial panorama: the visitor is not going round a sphere, they are looking for a detail.
The full calculation is in our article on angular density.
A tour that captures nothing stops at the demonstration
Momento360 shares, and the journey ends when the visitor closes the tab. No form, no action button, no follow-up: that is not an oversight, it is the product.
A commercial tour asks the opposite. Moorea offers two exits, mutually exclusive on any one tour:
- a persistent call to action, which stays visible when the controls fade and points to a booking page, an inbox or a phone line;
- lead capture, which records the interested visitor and lets you export the list.
For a campsite that wants quote requests rather than pretty images, that is the difference between a shop window and a channel.
A folder of panoramas is not a tour
Momento360 can group things: you assemble collections, you scroll through spheres, you place a document behind for context. That is file organisation, and it is effective as such.
A trade deliverable asks for something else: a geography, then a vocabulary.
The geography: the interactive map
The interactive map places the scenes on their own on a satellite map, using the GPS coordinates read out of the drone files. You can also supply your own site plan and position the points by hand.
The pins carry content: a gallery, an audio commentary, a video that loads nothing until somebody clicks it.
The vocabulary: industry templates
Industry templates give each activity its own navigation system. On a golf course you navigate by holes, not by file numbers; on a campsite, by zones and accommodation types; on a construction site, by phases.
No platform in our panel offers the equivalent, and that is what turns a series of photos into a sales argument. The rest of the work is described on the product page.
Client sign-off happens inside the tour, not in an email thread
This is the moment a delivery is won or lost: the client looks, has three comments, and writes them in an email where “the view from the car park” means a spot you spend ten minutes hunting for.
The Atelier deletes that back-and-forth. The note is anchored to the scene, the heading and the pitch: opening it puts you exactly where your client was looking.
Guests take part without creating an account, through a revocable link independent of the tour’s visibility. And the Atelier is a layer: switched on to work, closed to deliver, and the published tour keeps no trace of it.
Momento360 exports its notes to a document, which we do not do: if your final deliverable is a snagging report rather than a tour, that point is theirs.
Storage against capabilities
Momento360 bills storage: 750 MB free, then 100 GB at $7.50 a month billed annually, 250 GB at $20 and 500 GB at $42.50, with additional storage as an option, recorded August 2026.
The model is legible and its limit is mechanical: storage drives the invoice, and high-resolution aerial panoramas are precisely what fills it fast. Every successful deliverable moves you closer to the next tier.
What the free tier holds
Momento360
750 MB

Moorea
3 tours
active, 5 panoramas each, no expiry, analytics included, Moorea badge shown
At Moorea, what you pay for is a tier of capabilities, not a catalogue, and the price moves neither with audience nor with time.
A methodological point before any comparison: their prices are in dollars and ours in euros excluding VAT. Convert and check the tax treatment before concluding, because the apparent gap often comes from there.
The detail of what a tour costs, capture included, is in the cost guide.
When Momento360 is enough
Three specific situations, and they have one thing in common: 360 is not the deliverable.
A recce to get approved internally. A viewpoint to confirm with two colleagues before the real mission: the sphere lives three days, nobody pays for it, and the shortest path wins.
The survey that has to end up as a document. Construction snagging, a technical survey, an expert report: if the deliverable is an annotated report emailed around, their exportable notes do the job and we do not equip it.
The sphere as an attachment to another deliverable. When the 360 illustrates a file, a technical sheet or a space scanned elsewhere, a light link is enough. If that other tool is precisely an interior scan, the Matterport comparison covers that half of the question.
Outside those cases, the gap opens fast: as soon as somebody pays for the tour, they expect their name on it, a map to find their way, a button at the end and a tour that survives several seasons.
The moment the tour becomes the deliverable
Nothing stops you doing both: dropping recces where it is quickest, and only building in Moorea what goes to a client. That is the boundary we suggest you test.
To see what a finished tour looks like, the product page shows the player at work, and the pricing grid fits on one screen. The free plan takes three tours of five panoramas, with no expiry and no card: enough to build a real deliverable before deciding.
