Matterport is excellent at what it does — it's the gold standard for immersive 3D walkthroughs. So this isn't a takedown. It's a comparison of two tools built for two different moments in the buyer journey, so you can pick the right one (or use both).
What Matterport does best
Matterport captures a home as a navigable 3D model — the dollhouse view, room-to-room walking, even measurements. It's built for the buyer browsing from home who wants to explore every corner before deciding whether to visit. For remote and relocating buyers, and for showcasing visual detail, it's outstanding.
What Hear My Home does best
Hear My Home is built for the curb. A buyer scans the QR code on the yard sign and hears a narrated 60-second tour of the home on their phone — the story, the feel, the details photos miss — at the exact moment they're standing in front of it. And every scan and listen is tracked, so the agent can show the seller how many buyers actually stopped. It's not a 3D model; it's curbside engagement plus data.

When to use each
- Matterport — the listing portal, remote and out-of-town buyers, homes where visual detail closes the deal.
- Hear My Home — the yard sign, drive-by and open-house traffic, curbside engagement and seller reporting on every listing.
- Both — 3D for the online browser, audio for the buyer in the driveway. Different audiences, fully covered.
The short version: if you want a 3D model buyers explore from the couch, use Matterport. If you want the buyer at the curb to hear the home and give you scan data, use Hear My Home — the first tour is free. See how it works →
