ScreenCloud starts at $20 per screen, per month — with a 5-screen minimum on Pro and a 25-screen minimum on Enterprise. If you like the product but not the invoice, 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 ScreenCloud-specific advantage: the enterprise capabilities that push teams to ScreenCloud — multi-user permissions, sub-accounts, scheduling, kiosk/touch, proof-of-play reporting, an open REST API — are included here at $3–$19, not $20–$30 per screen. There are no plan minimums, so a pilot costs $0 on the free tier instead of a 5-screen commitment. And for regulated organizations ScreenCloud cannot serve at all, mediaSERVER offers a one-time $895 on-premise deployment — unique in the industry.
Trade-off: ScreenCloud's curated employee-comms app gallery (Slack, Teams-style integrations) is slicker out of the box; DigitalSignage.com covers feeds via native components plus HTML/API for custom sources.
Try Free — No MinimumsPricing: Basic $8, Premium $12, Enterprise $16 per screen/month (after the April 1, 2026 increase).
Roughly half of ScreenCloud's rate, Raspberry Pi-centric. Still a per-screen meter — see our Yodeck alternatives comparison before trading one subscription for another.
Pricing: Standard $10, Pro Plus $15, Engage $30 per screen/month.
Cheaper than ScreenCloud at entry with a big app catalog, but add-ons bill per screen. Our OptiSigns alternatives guide runs those numbers.
Pricing: roughly $18–$20 per screen/month.
Comparable money to ScreenCloud with a stronger touch/interactive angle; consider it for kiosk-first projects.
Pricing: 2 screens free, then roughly $1.67/screen/month.
The lean, technical route for small fixed networks. No Windows/Android players, no enterprise console, no on-premise option.

At every row the same screens cost about 15% of ScreenCloud Core — a 6–10× difference that compounds every year.
