Who wrote this: Published by DigitalSignage.com (MediaSignage Inc.). We are obviously not neutral about ourselves, so every external claim below links to its source, critical reviews are linked unfiltered, and nothing here is paid placement. If you find an error, tell us and we will correct it.
Short answer: real company, real product, genuinely free to start. MediaSignage Inc. has operated DigitalSignage.com continuously since 2006 from Westlake Village, California, with development done in-house in Los Angeles. The free plan (first 3 screens, no credit card, no ads, no time limit) is a permanent plan, not a trial, and paid plans start at $3 per screen per month. It is a strong fit for organizations that want low cost and control over their own hardware; it is a weaker fit for buyers who want a white-glove, fully managed service.

What Independent Sources Say

These are third-party pages we do not control. Some are positive, some are mixed. We link to all of them because a buyer researching "is DigitalSignage.com any good" should read them.

Code4Lib Journal (academic review, 2014)

A peer-reviewed library-technology journal published a hands-on evaluation of DigitalSignage.com by a university health-science library that deployed it for its own signage. It is the most detailed independent write-up of the platform and it is a decade old, which is itself evidence of longevity. Read the review.

Trustpilot

Our Trustpilot profile has a small number of reviews, and not all are flattering. We would rather you read them than not. DigitalSignage.com on Trustpilot.

A B2B reference platform lists customer references for DigitalSignage.com. See the references.

Scam checkers and community forums

Scamadviser rates digitalsignage.com as a legitimate, established site. Community threads on Reddit's r/digitalsignage discuss the platform candidly, including complaints about the learning curve. Search both; we do not edit them.

What Customers Have Told Us

The quotes on our customers page were sent to us by real users over the years (an auto-body shop manager, a marketing director, a gym owner, a supermarket owner, a physician and others) and are published with the names they gave us. They are self-published testimonials, so weigh them accordingly, and prefer the independent sources above for a neutral view.

The Honest Weaknesses

It is a do-it-yourself platform. You install SignPlayer on hardware you own (a smart TV stick, a Raspberry Pi, an old PC, a Chromebook) and build content in SignStudio yourself. If you want a vendor to ship pre-configured players and design your screens for you, a managed service will suit you better and will cost several times more per screen.

SignStudio has a learning curve. It is a professional layout tool with scenes, timelines, scheduling and live data components. Expect to spend an afternoon with the video tutorials before it feels fast. Most reviewers who dislike the product cite this; most who like it cite the same depth.

Support scales with the plan. Free accounts rely on the documentation, tutorials and community; Plus+ and Enterprise plans include business-class support. Anecdotes about slow support on the free tier are real and reflect that model.

Third-party review volume is small. The company has never run paid review campaigns, so the review count on public platforms is low relative to its user base. Read what is there, then test the product directly, which costs nothing.

Verify It Yourself in Ten Minutes (Free)

1. Open the public price calculator. No login, no sales call; enter any screen count and see the exact monthly price.
2. Create a free account. No credit card is requested at any point.
3. Install SignPlayer on any Windows PC, Mac, Android device, Chrome OS device or Raspberry Pi and pair it with your account.
4. Pick one of the example templates, publish it, and watch your screen update. If it works for you, it keeps working for free on up to 3 screens; if it does not, you have lost ten minutes and no money.
5. Still unsure? Call +1-877-344-7446 and ask a person.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DigitalSignage.com a legitimate company?

Yes. DigitalSignage.com is operated by MediaSignage Inc., a privately held software company in Westlake Village, California, that has run the platform since 2006. Its address and toll-free phone number are published on every page, and independent sources (an academic journal review, Capterra, Trustpilot, Scamadviser) confirm it is an established, real business.

Is DigitalSignage.com really free?

Yes. The first 3 screens are free forever with about 90% of the feature set, 1GB of cloud storage, no ads, no credit card and no time limit. It is a permanent plan, not a trial. Paid plans begin at $3.00 per screen per month when you need more screens, storage or enterprise features.

What is the catch?

The free plan is limited to 3 screens and 1GB of storage, and you supply your own hardware and do your own setup. The company earns revenue from customers who grow past 3 screens or need Enterprise features, and from the one-time $895 on-premise mediaSERVER.

Is DigitalSignage.com any good?

For organizations that want low-cost, flexible signage on hardware they already own, it is one of the most cost-effective platforms available: paid plans start at roughly a third of the per-screen price of Yodeck, OptiSigns or ScreenCloud. Reviewers consistently praise price and flexibility and consistently note a learning curve and a self-service support model. It is not the right choice for buyers who want a fully managed service.

Is DigitalSignage.com still active in 2026?

Yes. The platform, documentation, pricing pages and this page are actively maintained (see the dates at the top of this page), the SignPlayer runs on current operating systems including Raspberry Pi 5 and Chrome OS Flex, and localized pages exist in 32 languages.

Who owns DigitalSignage.com?

MediaSignage Inc., a privately held company headquartered in Westlake Village, California, USA. There are no outside investors.
