Looking for a way to create amazing tours with all Panoee premium features, but don’t want to pay for a Pro plan? Then you will love Companion Lite, a new Panoee plan released in the January updates that lets you pay only for what you need. You can get up to 3 premium tours for your account with a low price, and access Pro features branding, Google Street View, floorplan, and more. Companion Lite is the ideal way to make your tours shine with Panoee.

How it works?

Companion Lite plan: Pay only for what you need on Panoee

Companion Lite (aka Pay-as-you-go plan) is a new subscription of Panoee that has monthly recurring payment. It lets you choose how many virtual tours to be a Premium tour that have all Pro features of a Pro subscription (not including add-on features such as exports and custom domain features).

You can choose from three options:

  • Pay-as-you-go 1: $7/month for a Premium tour
  • Pay-as-you-go 2: $10/month for 2 Premium tours
  • Pay-as-you-go 3: $12/month for 3 Premium tours

If you need more Premium tours, you can upgrade to another Companion Lite plan that has more Premium tours or subscribe to a Pro plan to get unlimited tours.

Why choose the Companion Lite plan?

The Companion Lite plan is perfect for you if you want to:

  • Save money: You only pay for the tours that you want to make premium, and you can switch them anytime.
  • Practice: You can try out the Pro features and see how they enhance your virtual tours, without committing to a long-term subscription.
  • Control: You can decide which tours to make premium, and which ones to keep free. You can also lock or unlock your tours as you wish.

Who is fit for the Companion Lite plan?

The Companion Lite plan is suitable for anyone who wants to create premium virtual tours, but doesn’t need unlimited tours. For example, you might be:

  • A hobbyist who wants to showcase your personal projects or interests in a professional way.
  • A small business owner who wants to promote your products or services with a few stunning virtual tours.
  • A freelancer or agency who wants to impress your clients with a few high-quality virtual tours.
