iGUIDE Review
Starting at From ~$35/scan (PLANIX camera ~$2,600)
iGUIDE Pros
- ✓Floor plan accuracy of ±0.5% distance and ±1% square footage — measurably tighter than Matterport
- ✓Single scan generates a 3D tour, accurate floor plans, room measurements, and CAD/Xactimate-compatible exports simultaneously
- ✓No subscription required — per-project pricing from ~$5 CAD; operators own their data outright
- ✓Fast capture — a typical residential property scanned in under 15 minutes with the PLANIX R1 camera
iGUIDE Cons
- ✗Requires purchasing the proprietary PLANIX R1 camera (~$2,600 USD) upfront before any first scan — no rental program exists
- ✗No photo editing, HDR, twilight effects, or virtual staging capability; a separate service like BoxBrownie is always needed for those deliverables
- ✗Pricing is denominated in Canadian dollars, making cost-per-scan unpredictable for US operators subject to exchange rate swings
- ✗No drone or aerial photography capability — the system is strictly limited to interior 3D capture
Product Overview
iGUIDE by Planitar converts a single PLANIX camera scan into a bundle of deliverables: an interactive 3D walkthrough, accurate floor plans (±0.5% distance, ±1% sq ft), room measurements, and CAD-compatible exports — all automated. Compared to Matterport, iGUIDE's standout advantage is measurably superior floor plan accuracy, making it the stronger choice for disclosure-heavy markets, appraisers, and buyers who need dimension data. BoxBrownie covers photo editing and virtual staging where iGUIDE cannot. The product best fits real estate photographers building a media-services business; it is a poor match for agents wanting hands-free capture without hardware investment. Per-project pricing with no subscription is cost-effective at volume, but the ~$2,600 USD upfront camera cost, CAD-denominated plans, and the absence of photo editing, drone, or virtual staging keep it narrowly focused.
