Rise Vision pricing in 2026: the per-display rate, what a school pays, and the alternatives
Rise Vision lists about $11 per display per month in 2026 and sells mainly to schools, with volume and education discounts negotiated per district; no permanent free tier is published. A 20-screen campus is about $2,640 a year at list, a 50-screen district about $6,600. The platform's strength is education-specific templates and Chromebook-first players. For schools that already own Chromebooks, Chrome OS Flex PCs or Raspberry Pis, DigitalSignage.com runs on the same hardware for $3 per screen after 3 free screens, about $720 a year for the same 20-screen campus; Yodeck ($8) and OptiSigns ($10) sit in between.

Before you buy
- Price the plan that has the features you need, not the entry plan; permissions, proof of play, SSO and apps are usually higher tiers.
- Check what happens to the free tier when you add a screen, and whether a trial replaces it for new accounts.
- Confirm the player list against the hardware you own.
- Run your two finalists on a real screen for a week before migrating content.
