9 Best 360 Photo Apps of 2026

Kuula ranks first because it answers the most common need: open a 360 photo and let anyone look around it for free. The Basic plan costs nothing and hosts up to 300 posts, with a cap of 100 uploads per month. Kuula's pricing page lists VR viewing on Meta Quest devices and mobile phones, social sharing and website embeds, a tiny planet editor, horizon level correction, and image and text labels in the free tier. Pro adds a virtual tour editor that turns panoramas into walkthroughs, your own logo in links and embeds, unlisted tours, audio clips and built-in video recording, plus room for up to 100,000 posts. Business adds a custom domain, password-protected tours and Google Analytics reporting. The page says all prices are in US dollars, but the figures load through JavaScript, so we list Kuula's paid prices as pending. Kuula hosts and displays photos; you still need a 360 camera or a capture app to shoot them. We compared documented features and published prices.

Insta360 is the app most 360 camera owners will use, because it is the companion to Insta360's own cameras and gimbals. The US App Store listing describes 360 reframing where you tap to add a keyframe and change the perspective, an AI Edit mode that handles the reframing for you, Deep Track to keep a subject centered, hyperlapses, and Shot Lab with more than 25 AI templates such as Sky Swap and Clone Trail. You can edit and share clips without downloading them to the phone first. The app is free and holds a 4.4 rating from 9.4K ratings. Cloud storage is sold as Insta360 Premium: 200GB costs $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, 1TB costs $8.99 a month and 2TB $11.99 a month. The trade-off is scope: the app is designed for Insta360 hardware, so owners of other cameras should look at ReShoot 360 or Kuula. We compared documented features and published prices.

360 Photo Cam from DoSpace is the most flexible free option on iPhone because it both captures and views 360 photos. The App Store listing says you snap a few photos of a space and the app stitches them into a full ground-to-sky photo sphere in seconds, with no extra hardware. It can also import and display any existing photo sphere or equirectangular photo, which makes it a free viewer for files from a 360 camera. Captures are free but watermarked; credits remove the watermark at $0.49 for one, $3.99 for 10 or $5.99 for 20, and Unlimited auto-unlocks costs $9.99. That pay-per-photo model suits people who only need a handful of clean spheres. The app runs on iPhone, Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision, and holds a 4.4 rating from 171 ratings. One reviewer notes that posting the interactive file to Facebook or Instagram is not straightforward. We compared documented features and published prices.

Teleport, from HDReye Technologies, is the strongest pick for shooting 360 photos with only a phone. You follow on-screen prompts, and the app stitches the shots into a spherical panorama that you can view on iPhone or iPad or step into with the Apple Vision Pro version. The developer pitches it for real estate, interior design, travel and personal memories, and the app includes a feed of captures shared by other Teleport users. The download is free; the US App Store lists Teleport Pro at $6.99 and $39.99 and a separate Explore in 3D purchase at $2.99, but it does not spell out the subscription term. Several App Store reviews mention that watermarks now appear unless you pay, and the developer has replied that a lifetime option is being looked at. It holds a 4.3 rating from 599 ratings and was updated in October 2026. We compared documented features and published prices.

The RICOH THETA app is the free companion for Ricoh's single-shot 360 cameras. It connects to a THETA camera over Wi-Fi, shows a live view for remote shooting in still mode, and lets you switch between still and video modes from the phone. Captured images and videos can be spun, enlarged and shrunk in the built-in viewer and shared to social networks. The app is free with no in-app purchases and holds a 4.6 rating from 1.9K ratings on the US App Store. The limits are clear: a separately sold RICOH THETA camera is required to shoot spherical images, and Ricoh's own theta360.com site now directs owners to the RICOH360 app, which syncs captures to the cloud. Pick this app if you already own a THETA and want simple remote shooting and viewing; anyone without the camera should look at Teleport or 360 Photo Cam. We compared documented features and published prices.

ReShoot 360 fills a gap the camera apps leave: editing 360 files from any brand. The App Store listing says it works with Insta360 X, GoPro Max, DJI Osmo 360, Ricoh Theta and any equirectangular file, which you export from your camera app and open in ReShoot 360. The free version includes reframing filters, a keyframe editor with transitions, AI Tracking for faces, bodies and animals, Photo to Video for animating a 360 photo, and export presets for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and Facebook. PRO costs $2.49 a month or $19.99 a year and adds exports up to 8K photos and 4K/60fps video, horizon straightening, Mirror and Spiral effects, and Split Pano, which turns a 360 photo into swipeable Instagram posts. The app does not capture anything, and its 4.0 rating comes from only 47 ratings. We compared documented features and published prices.

Momento360 is a browser service for people who mostly need to show 360 photos to others. Its home page says you can upload, view and share 360 imagery in one place from your browser, that it works with any 360-degree camera, and that people you share with need no app or sign-up. It also supports virtual tours, annotations, plan drawings and embedding on websites, and it handles drone panoramas, renderings and hand sketches as well as camera shots. VR viewing is listed for Google Cardboard and Gear VR. Sign-up is free with no credit card. The weak spot is upkeep: when we checked on November 11, 2026, the pricing, FAQ and several feature pages on momento360.com returned 404 errors, so we could not confirm paid plan prices and list them as pending. Kuula offers a similar free viewer with a working, documented plan list. We compared documented features and published prices.

CloudPano is built for businesses that turn 360 photos into tours. Its iPhone app uses the phone camera to capture a 360 photo that is stitched automatically, and the web platform links scenes with hotspots, embeds video or HTML, and hosts live video chat calls inside the tour. The App Store listing says tours can appear on Realtor.com and other MLS sites, and the site offers Google Street View publishing. You can start free with no credit card. Pro costs $22.50 a month billed annually, removes the CloudPano watermark and publishes up to 3 projects; Pro Plus at $33 a month billed annually adds your own domain, a global CDN, live video chat and unlimited published projects, and Commercial starts at $199 a month for 5 users. That pricing is high for casual 360 viewing, and the iPhone app has only a 3.2 rating from 14 ratings. We compared documented features and published prices.

DMD Panorama is a long-running paid app for fast 360-degree panoramas around you. Its App Store listing describes three exposure settings, an interactive 3D viewer, editing of descriptions, tags, geolocation and privacy, and a community feed of panoramas from other users; nothing uploads unless you request it. The app costs $9.99 once, with an optional High Definition Unlimited Upgrade at $9.99 and an HD Video upgrade at $4.99 that apply to all devices on the same Apple ID. Two limits keep it near the bottom of this list. It shoots only cylindrical panoramas, so you get a horizontal ring rather than a full sphere with sky and floor; Dermandar itself points spherical capture to a separate app. And the version history shows the last update, 6.0.5, on November 22, 2021. It still suits people who want a quick wide panorama without a subscription. We compared documented features and published prices.
