Key Differences Explained
1. Accuracy: ±20mm vs ±55mm (2.75x Better)
This is the most important difference. Pro 3's ±20mm accuracy vs Pro 2's ±55mm makes it suitable for professional scan-to-BIM and architectural applications where precision matters.
Why it matters: For BIM modeling and renovation projects, the improved accuracy means fewer measurement errors and better Revit model quality.
2. Point Density: 10x More Points
Pro 3 captures 10x more points per scan than Pro 2, resulting in higher-detail 3D models.
Result: Smoother surfaces, better detail capture, more professional-looking tours.
3. Speed: 2x Faster Scanning
Pro 3 completes scans in half the time of Pro 2.
Result: Less time on-site, faster project completion, lower costs.
4. Battery: 2.5 hours vs 1.5 hours
67% longer battery life enables all-day scanning sessions.
Result: Can complete larger properties in single visit.
Why We Use Matterport Pro 3
We upgraded our entire fleet to Matterport Pro 3 because accuracy is critical for our clients.
- • 2.75x more accurate measurements = Better for BIM and architectural projects
- • 10x more point density = Higher quality virtual tours
- • Faster projects = Lower costs passed to clients
- • Latest features = Future-proof deliverables
"We don't use outdated equipment. All our virtual tours are captured with Matterport Pro 3 for the best possible results."
When Pro 2 Might Be Sufficient
While we exclusively use Pro 3, some providers still offer Pro 2. It may be adequate for:
- • Very small properties (<1,000 sq ft)
- • Basic marketing virtual tours (not for BIM)
- • Budget-conscious projects
- • Quick residential listings
However: For professional applications, scan-to-BIM, architectural documentation, or projects requiring precision, Pro 3 is worth the investment.
