Different companies, different products.

Virtuance is built to deliver competent photos at national scale through a freelance contractor network — fast, transparent, and a commodity by design. Cineminn is built to make the camera work for the agent: a cinematic film that sells the home, the same local team every time, and guarantees that put the risk on us. If you want cheap MLS photos, Virtuance is good at that. If marketing is how you win listings, that's us.

What a Virtuance shoot really costs

$149 buys photos. It doesn't buy the film that sells the home.

Virtuance's price looks lower because it's a different product. You're comparing a gallery of photos to a complete, video-led marketing package — film, drone, 3D, and the photos. The expensive number isn't the invoice. It's the listing that sits an extra three weeks because it went up photos-only while the one down the street had a film. Our Re-Shoot Guarantee means on a true like-for-like quote, you're never paying more anyway.

The Honest Answer

Who should pick which.

Pick Virtuance if

You need cheap MLS photos, fast.

  • The listing's a quick mover and marketing barely matters
  • You want the lowest possible per-photo price
  • You don't need video or a consistent crew
Pick Cineminn if

Marketing is how you win listings.

  • You want a cinematic film that makes you look like a luxury brokerage
  • You want the same local team and guarantees in writing
  • You'll use video to win the next listing presentation, not just this one
The Questions Agents Actually Ask

Straight answers.

Is Cineminn more expensive than Virtuance?
On a per-photo basis, yes — Virtuance's HDReal packages run roughly $139 to $258. But that's a photo comparison, and Cineminn is a video-first listing media company: cinematic film, drone, 3D, and photography as a complete package. Different product. And our Re-Shoot Guarantee means if you bring a comparable local quote for the same scope, we match it — so you're never overpaying for like-for-like.
What's the real difference between Virtuance and Cineminn?
Virtuance is a national photo platform that dispatches freelance contractors across dozens of markets. Cineminn is a video-first brand run by a certified local operator in each market — the same crew on your shoots, a cinematic film on every listing, delivery by 9 AM the next morning or it's free, and four written guarantees including Re-Shoot Guarantee.
Does Virtuance do video?
Virtuance's core product is its HDReal photography. Cineminn leads with video — the cinematic listing film is the centerpiece, because video is the piece buyers and sellers actually share — and the piece most agents skip because it feels awkward and they have no script. We write the script and handle the production.
Can I pay at closing like Virtuance's Titus option?
Yes. Cineminn offers pay-at-close as well, so you can order without paying upfront when the timing works better at closing.
