OptiSigns charges $10, $15 or $30 per screen, per month — and paid add-ons bill per screen on top. If the meter is why you are re-shopping, here are the real alternatives, with the yearly math at every network size.
Pricing: Free plan — your first 3 screens forever, ~90% of features, 1GB storage, ad-free, no credit card. Beyond that, mediaCLOUD Plus+ from $3.00 per screen/month and Enterprise from $19/month, both with dynamic volume pricing in the public price calculator. Optional on-premise mediaSERVER: one-time $895.
The OptiSigns-specific advantage: the hardware story is the same — SignagePlayer runs on the Android sticks, Fire TV-class boxes, Windows PCs, Raspberry Pi boards and Chrome OS devices OptiSigns users already deploy — but the meter runs at less than a third of the rate: $3/screen versus $10–$30/screen. Scheduling, playlists, kiosk/touch, multi-user accounts and an open REST API are included rather than metered as add-ons, and the first 3 screens are free to test the fit before paying anything.
Trade-off: OptiSigns' third-party app catalog is larger; DigitalSignage.com covers the common feeds (weather, RSS, social, media) natively plus HTML/API components for the rest.
Try Free on Your Existing HardwarePricing: Basic $8, Premium $12, Enterprise $16 per screen/month (after the April 1, 2026 increase).
The usual budget move from OptiSigns — but it is Raspberry Pi-centric, and the per-screen meter remains. See our Yodeck alternatives breakdown before switching one meter for another.
Pricing: Core from $20/month; Pro $30/month (5-screen minimum); Enterprise custom (25-screen minimum).
A fit if you are leaving OptiSigns for enterprise internal-comms features rather than price — it typically costs 2× OptiSigns at the same screen count.
Pricing: roughly $18–$20 per screen/month.
Worth a look for touch-heavy interactive projects; among the priciest per-screen meters otherwise.
Pricing: 2 screens free, then roughly $1.67/screen/month.
The lean DIY route for technical teams with small, fixed Raspberry Pi networks. No Windows/Android players, no enterprise console, no on-premise option.
