Realsee credit purchases start at 40 credits—not 40 credits every month. Buy as needed, with credits valid for 360 days from the date of purchase.
Customer perspectives
Why teams choose Realsee
In the G2 reviews referenced here, users highlight project-based spending, intuitive capture, efficient processing, and responsive support.
Costs that follow your projects
Professional photographer Corné S. values being able to manage costs based on actual projects rather than being tied to expensive subscriptions. Realsee's credit-based model lets teams purchase credits when needed, rather than every month.
An approachable capture workflow
Reviewers describe Galois devices and the Realsee interface as intuitive. Creative director Wayne C., reviewing the Galois M2, praises its ease of use, imagery, and professional-grade results.
From scanning to usable deliverables
Copia Digitale I. reports that automated AI processing produces clean point clouds, accurate floor plans, and interactive tours while reducing processing time and on-site labour. Simon L. highlights E57 downloads for use in Autodesk ReCap.
Support that stays involved
Reviewers mention responsive answers, ongoing assistance over WhatsApp, and a team that listens. Martin V. particularly values openness about mistakes and the product development pipeline.
These comments describe individual experiences with Realsee and the Galois camera family. They are not all P4-specific reviews or controlled comparisons with Matterport.
Hardware comparison
Galois P4 vs. Matterport Pro3
Compare the published capture specifications. Hardware figures describe different aspects of the workflow and should not be treated as a guarantee of identical results in every space.

| LiDAR | 905nm, Class 1 | 904nm, Class 1 |
| Published accuracy | Better than ±10mm at 0.1–15m | ±20mm at 10m |
| Sampling rate | 125,600 points/sec | 100,000 points/sec |
| Maximum range | 100m | Up to 100m with E57 |
| Listed scan time | About 16 seconds per position | Under 20 seconds per position |
| Panorama output | 24K, 300MP | 134.2MP |
| Image sensor | 4/3-inch CMOS, about 47MP | Sensor size not specified in cited specifications |
| Multi-device co-capture | Supported | Not listed in cited specifications |
| Weight | 2.6kg with battery | 2.2kg |
| Battery | About 3 hours of scanning; full charge in about 2.5 hours | 220+ scan positions; full charge in 3.5 hours |

Reading the comparison: accuracy figures use the manufacturers' stated conditions. Listed scan times do not represent total project time. Battery figures use different measures and are not a direct endurance comparison. “Not listed” does not mean a feature is unavailable.

Flexible spending
Buy credits when you need them—not every month
Realsee uses a credit-based, pay-as-you-go model. Purchases start at 40 credits, but that is a minimum purchase quantity—not a monthly purchase requirement.
Top up according to your project needs. Credits are valid for 360 days from the date of purchase and can be used for eligible hosting and file downloads.
| Cost model | Realsee | Matterport |
|---|---|---|
| Billing model | Credit packs purchased as needed | Subscription plans based on active spaces |
| Purchase or plan requirement | Credit purchases start at 40 credits | Compatible paid plan required for Pro3 |
| Credit validity | 360 days from the date of purchase | Not applicable to the subscription model |
| Months without new projects | No requirement to purchase credits every month. Existing hosted projects may still consume credits. | Subscription charges continue while the paid plan remains in effect. |
Plan your top-ups around your workload. Credits expire 360 days after purchase; buying as needed does not mean credits never expire or that ongoing hosting is free.
Find your fit
Which workflow suits your team?
Consider Realsee Galois P4
If you want project-based credit purchases, 24K panorama output, and multi-device co-capture, Galois P4 is an option to evaluate.
It is particularly relevant to teams comparing flexible spending with an ongoing subscription.
Consider Matterport Pro3
If lower camera weight is important, the Pro3's listed 2.2kg weight is below the P4's listed 2.6kg weight with battery.
