Comparison

    The alternative that doesn't hold your data.

    If you are weighing up Matterport, Nubigon or another cloud-only platform, the real question is not which viewer looks nicer. It is who owns the scans in five years, and what they will cost you by then.

    Your Data. Your Rules.

    Why teams switch

    Three reasons people move to Veesus.

    The data stops leaving

    Arena4U installs inside your own network. Sensitive sites, client NDAs and information assurance policies stop being a blocker, because nothing is uploaded to a platform you don't control.

    The bill stops growing

    Cloud-only pricing scales with the thing you can't help doing — capturing more. Fixed licensing plus your own storage means adding another thousand scans is a disk purchase, not a new contract.

    It takes all of your data

    Not just tours from one camera. Point Clouds, Gaussian Splats, BIM and CAD models, orthophotos, GIS layers, drawings, documents and video — hosted together and viewed in one browser window.

    Comparison reflects the typical architecture and commercial model of hosted, cloud-only 3D tour platforms. Named products and trademarks belong to their respective owners; check current vendor terms for specifics.

    Already have scans elsewhere?

    Bring the source data. Arena4D and Arena4U read standard Point Cloud and Gaussian Splat formats from virtually any scanner or processing package, so you are not starting again — you are just moving the data somewhere you control. Tell us what you have and we will tell you honestly whether we can take it.
