Megapixels matter less than you'd think. These three things make the difference.
A 360° camera captures the whole room at once. Phone panorama modes don't make full 360° photos, so they can't be used as tour scenes.
Koala 360 takes 2:1 equirectangular JPG, PNG or WebP photos up to 50MB. Every camera on this page exports them from its app.
Shoot from a light tripod or monopod at chest height, and turn on HDR for rooms with bright windows.
