Stop Paying in Dollars: Why Indian Builders are Quitting Foreign 360° Tools

If you are using Matterport, Kuula, or CloudPano, you aren't just paying for software—you are paying a "Currency Tax." As of late January 2026, the USD to INR exchange rate has crossed the ₹92 mark, making foreign subscriptions more expensive than ever before.

The Hidden Costs of "Dollar" Software

When you see a price like $29/month, that's not what you actually pay. For an Indian agency, that $29 translates to nearly ₹2,700 every single month. Over a year, you are spending over ₹32,000 on just one tool!

Enter Vantaze: Transparent, Indian Pricing 🇮🇳

We believe high-quality PropTech shouldn't be a luxury. That’s why we’ve designed our pricing to fit every stage of your business:

  • The Forever Free Plan: Perfect for beginners. Create your tour, explore the features, and see the quality for yourself without spending a single paisa.
  • The ₹490 Power Plan: Yes, you read that right. For just ₹490 per year, you get professional hosting for your project. That is less than the cost of a single pizza to keep your virtual tour live for an entire year.
  • One-Time Small Fees: No scary recurring monthly bills that surprise your credit card. Pay a small fee once, and stay live.

Why Indian Agencies are Switching

1. WhatsApp Lead Button: Foreign tools don't offer direct WhatsApp integration. Vantaze lets buyers chat with you instantly from inside the tour—the #1 way Indians prefer to communicate.

2. Save 18% with GST: We provide full GST invoices. Claim your Input Tax Credit and save even more. Try getting that from a US-based company!
