Most small businesses run 1–5 screens: a window display, a menu, a promo screen at the counter. That should not cost $500 a year in software — and here it usually costs $0.
| Platform | 1 screen | 3 screens | 5 screens | Free tier? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalSignage.com | $0 | $0 | $72 | First 3 screens free forever, ad-free |
| Yodeck (Basic $8) | $96 | $288 | $480 | No (single-screen trial) |
| OptiSigns (Standard $10) | $120 | $360 | $600 | Ad-supported only |
| NoviSign (~$19) | $228 | $684 | $1,140 | No |
| ScreenCloud (Core $20) | $240 | $720 | $1,200 | No |
Five-year view for a 3-screen shop: $0 here versus $1,440–$3,600 elsewhere. That is a real difference for a business where every recurring cost matters. Beyond 5 screens, dynamic volume pricing quotes exactly in the public price calculator (lowest price guarantee).
Turn the front window into your hardest-working salesperson — offers, new arrivals and opening hours running before customers walk in.
Change prices without reprinting anything; schedule the breakfast and lunch boards to switch themselves. See digital menu boards.
Upsells, loyalty programs and gift cards at the point of sale — the highest-attention spot in the store.
Salons, clinics and repair shops: services, prices, before/afters and reviews while customers wait.
5-minute setup, no IT. Create the free account, install SignagePlayer on a $40 Android stick, an old PC or the smart TV's browser, pick a template — done. Hundreds of designed templates mean no designer either.
Update from your phone. Sold out of something? Running a flash sale? Change the screen from any browser in seconds, from anywhere.
Grows with you — without punishing you. Open location #2 and add screens at $3 each; the platform scales to hundreds of screens (see the enterprise features), so you will never migrate away as you grow.
Nothing proprietary. No special hardware to buy, no contract, no cancellation dance. The 3 free screens are yours forever either way.
1. Create a free account (no credit card).
2. Plug a $40 Android stick into your TV — or reuse any PC — and install SignagePlayer.
3. Pick a template in SignageStudio, drop in your offers and hours.
4. That screen is now working every hour you are open — for $0/month.
What is the best digital signage software for a small business?
For 1–5 screens, DigitalSignage.com is the strongest value in 2026: the first 3 screens are free forever with ~90% of features, additional screens are $3/month each, and it runs on existing TVs with a $40 stick. Mainstream alternatives run $8–$30 per screen per month with no permanent free tier.
Is there completely free digital signage for small business?
Yes — up to 3 screens, free forever, ad-free, no credit card, on DigitalSignage.com. That covers the typical shop's window + menu + counter setup with nothing to pay, permanently.
Do I need special hardware or an IT person?
No. Any HDMI TV plus a $40–$80 Android stick (or an old PC, or the TV's own browser) works, and everything is managed from a normal web browser with drag-and-drop templates.
What happens when my business grows past 3 screens?
Screens 4 and up are $3/screen/month on Plus+ (dynamic volume pricing in the public calculator), and the same account scales to hundreds of screens with scheduling, sub-accounts and an API — no platform switch needed.
