Shapespark review
A focused browser walkthrough platform with strong sharing, imports, and visualization tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Shapespark converts architectural 3D models into interactive walkthroughs that run in a web browser. It is aimed at architects, designers, real-estate marketers, and visualization professionals who need to share scenes through links or website embeds. The product includes both a Windows editor and a cloud editor, with support for desktop, mobile, and compatible VR browsing. Its workflow covers model import, material editing, lighting, points of interest, orbit views, and floor-plan views.
Pricing is structured across four paid monthly plans. Starter costs $19 per month and includes the Windows editor, cloud editor, unlimited offline scenes, three online hosting slots, and website embedding. Standard costs $49 and raises hosting to 25 slots while adding team management, custom branding, and meetings for up to four participants. Plus costs $99 and adds 50 hosting slots, meetings for up to 10 participants, HTML/JavaScript customization, a Viewer API, and a custom domain. Premium costs $249 and adds 150 hosting slots, meetings for up to 30 participants, custom meeting avatars, and self-hosting. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
The strongest fit is hosted presentation and review: path-tracing global illumination, baked lighting, browser delivery, VR viewing, video meetings, and higher-tier APIs give teams several ways to present interactive scenes. Model compatibility spans Revit, SketchUp, 3ds Max, FBX, COLLADA, and OBJ. Shapespark also supports 360-degree panorama screenshots from the desktop editor, but it does not provide verified video export or panorama-tour creation. Choose it for browser-based architectural walkthroughs and collaborative sharing; consider an alternative if video deliverables or published 360 tours are central requirements.
