Choose the model that fits your workflow

Hosted plans are built for managed publishing and ongoing updates. Desktop is designed for work that benefits from a local, one-time license.

You already provide the hosting

If your team already runs its own web infrastructure, Desktop lets you build locally and deliver portable HTML directly into that stack.

The editor must work offline

Desktop keeps the editor and panoramas on your machine for work on site, in transit, or on networks that cannot reach a hosted service.

The client needs a permanent handoff

A standalone tour folder gives a client a version they can archive, move between hosts, or operate independently after delivery.

One payment. A local editor.

The desktop editor is a program on your machine, not a seat on our server. That difference shows up everywhere.

A one time fee

$249 once, including every editor feature and one year of updates. Continue using that version after the update window ends.

One license, every feature

No tiers, nothing held back for an upgrade. No resolution restrictions — your tours are local — plus aerial GPS tours, floorplans, VR and white-label branding, with unlimited tours and no watermark.

Mac, Windows and Linux

A real desktop app. Your panoramas stay on your own disk, and the editor keeps working on a plane, on site, or on a locked-down network.

Self-host or export to HTML

Every tour exports to a standalone folder you can put on any static host. Where it lives is your decision, permanently.

A year of free updates

Every license includes twelve months of updates. When the year is up the editor doesn't stop — you simply stop receiving new versions until you choose to upgrade.

Activate once, then it's yours

A one-time sign-in activates the license on up to 2 devices, such as a desktop and a laptop. After activation, the editor runs entirely offline.

The math, over five years

Compare the long-term software cost of Creator hosting with the one-time Desktop License.

Total spentHosted, $15/moDesktop License, $249 once
After 1 year$180$249
After 2 years$360$249
After 3 years$540$249
After 5 years$900$249

At Creator's $15 monthly rate, the $249 Desktop License equals about 17 months. Creator also offers lower annual billing and includes managed hosting and ongoing updates; Desktop includes one year of updates and optional upgrades after that.

Questions, answered

How does Desktop licensing work?

The Desktop License is $249 once and covers up to 2 activated devices. It includes every editor feature and one year of updates; the version you have keeps working when that update window ends.

Are there different editions to choose between?

No. There used to be an Editor and a Studio license; now there is one Desktop License at $249 and it unlocks everything — no resolution restrictions, aerial GPS tours, floorplans, VR and white-label branding. Nothing is reserved for a higher tier.

What happens when my year of free updates ends?

Nothing changes about the software you own: the editor keeps working, your tours keep opening, and you can keep publishing. You simply stop receiving new versions. Major new releases are offered to existing owners as a discounted paid upgrade — always optional.

Is the desktop editor available to buy right now?

Not yet — it's launching soon, and you can join the notification list from this page. In the meantime low-cost hosted subscriptions are available, and every paid hosted plan already includes HTML export, so any tour you build now can be self-hosted later.

Do I need an internet connection to use it?

Only once, to activate: you sign in with your 360Creator account the first time you set up the editor on a device (each license covers up to 2 devices — say, a desktop and a laptop, and you can swap devices from your account anytime). From then on it runs entirely offline — panoramas are read from your local disk and tours are built and exported on your machine, which matters when you're working on site or on a network that won't reach the public internet.

What's the difference between buying once and hosting with you?

Hosted means we run the servers and you always get the latest editor, billed monthly and cancellable at any time. Buying once means you own a specific version of the desktop editor and self-host unlimited tours forever, with no recurring fee. Both models can export a tour to plain HTML, so neither one locks you in.

Can I move tours between the hosted app and the desktop editor?

Yes, in both directions. An exported tour carries a manifest.json describing the full tour — scenes, links, settings, branding — next to its assets folder. Import that into either editor and the tour is rebuilt exactly as it was.

Buy it once. Keep it.

The desktop editor lands soon. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it does — no drip campaign, just the one message.
