why this verdict
Keep paying — Google has not replaced it
Google's version overlaps, but does not finish the real estate job, so this one still earns its $10/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- You cannot generate a scan of a building that exists. Google, December 16, 2024 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Zillow 3D Home.
- What the call is worth $120/yr
- $10/mo at the entry paid tier — $120 a year per seat.

The backstory
Matterport captures dimensionally accurate 3D scans of real spaces for property listings, insurance and construction. Generative 3D produces plausible spaces, not measured ones, and the entire value here is that the scan is true. AI improved the processing pipeline. Clear survivor.
