Panoraven vs Moorea 2026: the price of views
Panoraven bills bandwidth and shuts companies out of its free plan. Unlimited views and bandwidth, analytics behind no tier, the client's brand.
Panoraven and Moorea start from the same gesture: put a 360 sphere online and send the link. They diverge on one question, the one that arrives after publishing - what you pay when the tour gets watched. Panoraven counts the gigabytes served each month. Moorea counts neither views nor traffic, on any tier, free plan included.
This page is written by Moorea and argues for Moorea: read it knowing that. The Panoraven figures come from their public grid, recorded 17 August 2026 on panoraven.com; they move, so check them before deciding.
What they do better, straight away
Uploading a sphere and getting a link without even creating an account is Panoraven’s founding idea, and it is an excellent one. For a single panorama, nothing we do is faster, since Moorea asks for an account, a tour and a publish.
On three specific points, they are ahead:
- member seats. Their €29 tier bundles five, where ours are not a commercial lever at all;
- the client’s domain. It arrives at €29 with them, where it is part of our €19 excl. VAT tier;
- two functions we lack. AI upscaling, and a PDF attached to a point of interest, where a Moorea point of interest takes an image gallery, audio or video, but not a document.
That is the concession. The rest of this page says why, once the tour is online and being watched, the bill is no longer read on the entry-price line.
| Criterion | Panoraven | Moorea |
|---|---|---|
| Paid tiers | €15 and €29 a month | €19 and €39 excl. VAT a month |
| What the price counts | gigabytes served each month: 20, 50 or 100 GB | capabilities, never audience |
| Views and bandwidth | capped on every tier, free one included | unlimited on all four plans, never billed |
| Analytics | advanced analytics on the €29 tier | included everywhere, free plan too |
| Free plan | permanent and account-free, but barred to companies and associations | 3 active tours, 5 panoramas each, open to everyone, no expiry |
| Tours and panoramas | unlimited tours everywhere, 50 to 100 images per tour by tier | 3, 5, 15 then unlimited tours; 5, 50, 120 or 200 panoramas per tour |
| Client domain and brand | logo removed from €15, custom domain on the €29 tier | the whole chain at €19 excl. VAT: badge removed, accent colour validated, domain |
| Drone-specific processing | none | zenith filled, logo at the nadir, heading and GPS read from the metadata |
| The tour's map | imported plan | satellite map with automatic GPS placement, or an imported plan |
| Sign-off with the client | not found on their public grid | the Atelier: notes anchored in the 360, guests without accounts |
The month the tour works is the month it costs most
This is the most structural gap between the two tools, and it appears on no price line. Panoraven bills a monthly bandwidth quota: 20, 50 or 100 gigabytes by tier, cap included on the highest paid plan.
The logic defends itself, since serving images costs money with most hosts. But its consequence is mechanical: your invoice follows your success, and the one month a virtual tour actually did its job is the month it worries you.
Bandwidth included per month
Panoraven
100 GB
on the top tier, €29 a month; 20 GB on the first paid tier
Moorea
unlimited
on all four plans, free one included, and no tour expires
Seasonal places pay that misalignment at full rate
A campsite concentrates its traffic into a few booking weeks; a golf club spikes on competition day.
And a QR code printed on a welcome sign has to work on a busy Sunday as well as on a Tuesday in November: you do not peel it off a sign when the quota gets close.
Analytics sit behind no tier
Knowing how many people enter the tour, which scenes hold them, which points of interest get clicked: that is what turns a tour into a decision tool rather than a pretty window. The market nevertheless treats it as an upsell, and Panoraven puts its advanced analytics on the €29 tier (recorded 17 August 2026).
At Moorea they are included everywhere, free plan too. The events measured are the same for everyone:
- entering the tour;
- viewing, scene by scene;
- clicking a point of interest;
- time spent;
- clicking the call to action.
With one owned methodological choice: the visitor fingerprint is a hash salted daily, the salt is never stored, so de-anonymisation becomes impossible from the following day. We also document the limit in the interface, where unique visitors are counted per day: someone who comes back another day counts twice.

A free plan a company is allowed to use
Panoraven’s free plan is permanent and does not even ask for an account, but it is restricted to individuals: companies and associations are excluded (recorded 17 August 2026). In other words, it exists to try things at home, not to publish a campsite’s or a club’s first tour.
Aerial is not just one more panorama
A general-purpose editor displays a sphere from a drone the way it would display one shot from a tripod. That is where Moorea’s difference plays out, and it is made of trade details:
- the zenith. Above the drone, the panorama has a hole. Moorea detects that invalid cap and fills it with a gradient taken from the last valid row. It is a gradient, not a reconstruction, and it is enough that nobody looks up;
- the nadir. Under the visitor’s feet, a logo reprojected over about 30 degrees replaces the mushy zone with a signature, and applies to a whole tour at once;
- placement. EXIF and XMP metadata carry GPS, altitude and heading: the scene places itself in the right spot, already oriented, on the satellite map that serves as the tour’s plan. When the map is not right, you supply your own plan and the points are placed on it by hand;
- resolution. Up to 512 megapixels per viewpoint, from sources accepted up to 32,000 pixels wide, cut into tiles served as the eye moves. On a wide site, that is what lets you zoom in on a green or a jetty.
Those four things are not added afterwards to a general-purpose editor: they are built into it. The rest is on the features page.
Aerial or indoors, the same engine
A word to clear a frequent confusion: Moorea’s engine reads any 2:1 equirectangular panorama, wherever it comes from, in JPEG, PNG, TIFF or AVIF.
A reception-hall panorama shot from a tripod imports and renders exactly like an aerial view, in the same tour, with the same navigation. Aerial is our speciality, not our limit.
A template per trade rather than a blank page
Panoraven delivers a general-purpose editor: the same blank canvas for a flat, a factory and a golf course.
Moorea starts from the trade - golf, campsite, winery, marina, construction site, new-build development - with navigation specific to each: the course in hole order, the pitches by zone, the progress of a building site through time.
The industry template gives the tour its structure before the first photo, where a blank page leaves everyone reinventing a navigation plan on every delivery.
The brand, and what is left when the contractor walks away
Panoraven puts your logo on from €15 and your domain at €29: on the address criterion alone, they are cheaper, as we said. Our €39 excl. VAT tier buys something else - a complete chain, from the first pixel to the address:
- the badge goes from “Moorea” to discreet, then disappears entirely;
- the accent colour is checked on save: below a contrast of 3:1 against the player’s dark surfaces it is refused. An unreadable brand guide is not a brand guide respected;
- the client’s domain is wired with a simple CNAME, certificate issued and renewed on its own. It covers the public player and the embed; the editing application stays on our domain. A link shared from that domain shows the venue’s name, the tour’s title and its cover, with its favicon in the tab;
- the QR code exports as PNG and as vector SVG, square, 1080 pixels, dark ink on white, never recoloured: customisation applies to the card around it, not to the modules, or scannability becomes a lottery;
- the embed goes through an iframe of about 142 kilobytes gzipped, measured on every build, with no cookie and no session. The rendering engine weighs 19.5 KiB gzipped, with no external dependency.
Across the panel recorded 17 August 2026, full white label costs elsewhere a top-tier price of around €99.90 a month, or a one-off supplement of €250 to €699. That is the real comparison point for our €39 excl. VAT tier.
Who owns the tour, three years later
That leaves the question nobody asks when signing and that costs most three years later: who owns the tour. At Moorea, every tour belongs to a workspace, never to a person, with three roles.
The arrangement we recommend to venues and drone pilots alike follows from it: the subscription is taken in the venue’s name, the pilot is invited into the workspace and works there. They stay credited, the venue keeps the keys, and the day the relationship ends, nothing switches off.
The three possible arrangements are compared in the cost guide. Same logic for the domain: if a client removes theirs, our redirect is a 302, never a 301 - a 301 caches for life in browsers and would trap the address for years.
When Panoraven is enough
Three specific situations where we would send you their way without hesitating.
A single panorama, to send within the hour. A recce, a progress shot, a photo to show a client right now. Creating an account, a tour and a publish for one sphere would be absurd: their account-free sharing is made for exactly that.
Personal use, outside a company. Their free plan is permanent and generous in images per tour, provided you are an individual. For a private project, an unincorporated club, a wish to show a place you love, it is hard to beat.
A catalogue of ground-level tours, numerous, light and lightly watched. Their tours are unlimited from the first tier, where our entry plan caps them. If your subjects fit in a handful of standalone spheres, if the traffic stays modest and steady, and if brand is not a subject, the arithmetic is on their side.
Outside those three cases
As soon as it is a wide site seen from the sky, an audience arriving in waves, a brand to hold all the way to the domain name, or a tour that still has to work in five years, the sum changes.
The product page sets out what Moorea makes, and the pricing page gives the detail of the four plans. The free plan opens in a few minutes, with no card, and it is open to companies.
