TourBuzz was acquired by Urbanimmersive and development has slowed. Credit-based pricing gets expensive fast. PhotoFounder is actively built for where real estate photography is heading — not where it was five years ago.
A platform under uncertain ownership, credit-based pricing that scales against you, and aging technology that has not kept pace.
No per-tour credits, no store fees, no mental math. One monthly price with unlimited appointments on the Business plan.
Regular feature releases, modern tech stack, and a roadmap focused on real estate photography. Not a legacy product under corporate ownership.
HDR processing, sky replacement, twilight conversion, and virtual staging — all inside the platform. No third-party editing tools needed.
Every studio gets its own database and media storage. Your data is never commingled with other photographers on a shared platform.
Everything you need to run your photography business — side by side.

TourBuzz was acquired by Urbanimmersive (TSX-V: UI), a publicly traded company that has struggled to integrate its acquisitions. Development on the TourBuzz platform has slowed significantly since the acquisition.
Many long-time TourBuzz users have already migrated to other platforms. Some describe the credit-based pricing model as difficult to predict and expensive at scale — especially as delivery volume grows.
When your business depends on a platform, the platform’s ownership and roadmap matter. PhotoFounder is independently built and actively developed, with a clear focus on real estate photography businesses.

TourBuzz has not announced a shutdown, but development has slowed under Urbanimmersive ownership. Many users have already migrated to other platforms. We recommend transitioning proactively rather than waiting for a forced migration.
PhotoFounder uses flat monthly pricing. Pro is $79/mo for 200 appointments. Business is $149/mo for unlimited appointments and team members. No credits, no per-tour fees, no store fees. At 20+ deliveries per month, PhotoFounder typically costs less than half of TourBuzz.
