# How much does digital signage cost? Per-screen, per-player and per-organization pricing

> Canonical HTML: https://screenrig.ai/compare/digital-signage-cost

screenRIG is free. On most platforms, digital signage costs a software licence, hardware at each screen and the time to keep screens running. Most hosted software charges per screen per month: Yodeck lists $8 to $16 and OptiSigns $9 to $40.50, billed annually (checked 9 Nov 2026).

What counts as a "screen" differs, and it matters most for video walls. We make screenRIG, and every other vendor's figure here links to its own page.

## The three pricing models

| Model | What you pay for | Where it gets expensive |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Per screen | Every display, or every display licence, each month | Adding screens. Ten screens cost ten times one. |
| Per player | Every device that plays content, whatever it drives | Video walls and multi-display setups, if each display needs its own player |
| Per organization | One yearly price for the whole organization, with storage and agent requests included | People, features and storage tiers. Screens themselves cost nothing. |

Self-hosted open-source software adds a fourth: no licence, but you run the server, the updates and the support yourself. [Free digital signage software compared](https://screenrig.ai/compare/free-digital-signage-software.md) covers those.

## What per-screen pricing adds up to

Yearly software cost for the entry paid plan, at list price, billed annually, before tax and hardware:

| Screens | Yodeck Basic ($8) | OptiSigns Standard ($9) | screenRIG |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Free, its one free screen | Free, on its free plan with the OptiSigns logo | Free |
| 5 | $480 | $540 | Free |
| 10 | $960 | $1,080 | Free |
| 25 | $2,400 | $2,700 | Free |
| 100 | $9,600 | $10,800 | Free |

Yodeck's free plan covers one screen; its pricing page says that with more than one screen you need a paid subscription for all of them ([Yodeck pricing](https://www.yodeck.com/pricing/)). OptiSigns' free plan covers up to 3 screens, with its logo on them ([OptiSigns pricing](https://www.optisigns.com/pricing)). The higher plans cost more per screen: Yodeck Premium $12 and Enterprise $16; OptiSigns Pro $11.25, Pro Plus $13.50, Engage $27 and Enterprise $40.50, with a 25-screen minimum on Enterprise.

### In Canadian dollars

Both vendors publish CAD prices. Yodeck lists CA$12, CA$18 and CA$24 per screen per month for Basic, Premium and Enterprise. OptiSigns lists CA$12.00 for Standard and CA$18.00 for Pro Plus per screen per month, billed annually (checked 9 Nov 2026). screenRIG's prices are in US dollars; see [pricing](https://screenrig.ai/pricing.md).

## Per screen or per player: the video wall trap

"Per screen" and "per player" sound the same until one device drives several displays. Read the vendor's video wall page before you buy hardware.

- **Yodeck** lists video walls "using 1 Player per Screen": a wall needs as many players as screens, plus an IP video streamer ([Yodeck pricing](https://www.yodeck.com/pricing/)). Each of those screens is a licence.
- **OptiSigns** sells a Video Wall add-on at $25 a month per device, on Standard or higher, that works only with its Pro or ProMax player. Its help centre says the licence applies to the player, not the number of screens: one add-on runs a 2, 3 or 4-screen wall from one ProMax player ([OptiSigns video wall guide](https://support.optisigns.com/hc/en-us/articles/33382537925267-Making-a-Video-Wall-with-OptiSigns-Video-Wall-App)).
- **screenRIG** runs a wall of 2 to 12 displays from one Linux or Windows Player, or two displays from a Raspberry Pi 5 ([Player guide](https://screenrig.ai/docs/players.md#video-walls)). Walls of up to 3 displays are a Plus feature and larger walls an Enterprise one, priced per organization rather than per screen; see [pricing](https://screenrig.ai/pricing.md).

If a quote for a wall looks like it counts every display, ask the vendor to confirm in writing whether the licence is per display or per player.

## Hardware: the cost per screen you pay once

Every model needs something to play the content. The options, roughly from cheapest:

- **The TV's own system.** An Android TV or Google TV set, or a Samsung or LG signage display, runs the screenRIG Player with no extra box.
- **A stick.** An Amazon Signage Stick or a Fire TV Stick in the HDMI port.
- **A small computer.** A Raspberry Pi or a Linux or [Windows mini PC](https://screenrig.ai/digital-signage/windows.md), which adds remote reboot and, on Pi and Linux, HDMI-CEC control of the TV.
- **Signage hardware.** A BrightSign player.
- **A vendor's own player.** Yodeck's annual plans include a preconfigured Raspberry Pi player for each screen, or money off if you bring your own device ([Yodeck pricing](https://www.yodeck.com/pricing/)). OptiSigns sells its own players.

[How to choose a digital signage player](https://screenrig.ai/guides/digital-signage-player.md) compares them on what they can do unattended.

## The costs that show up later

The licence is the number on the pricing page. These are the ones that are not:

- **Site visits.** A screen that freezes and needs someone to power-cycle it costs a trip. Choose players you can reboot and fix remotely, and switch displays off over HDMI-CEC or RS-232 rather than by hand. See [HDMI-CEC for digital signage](https://screenrig.ai/guides/hdmi-cec-digital-signage.md).
- **Making content.** Someone has to design the menu, update the prices and take down last week's promotion. On screenRIG your AI agent does this from a sentence.
- **Mounting, cabling and power** at each screen, which no software price includes.
- **Storage.** Unlimited storage is common on per-screen plans, under a fair-use policy. On screenRIG, Standard includes 1 GB of storage and paid plans include more, a fixed amount per plan listed on [pricing](https://screenrig.ai/pricing.md); a typical library is far below 1 GB.
- **Price changes.** Yodeck raised Premium and Enterprise by $1 per screen per month on 1 April 2026 ([Yodeck's pricing update](https://www.yodeck.com/docs/user-manual/2026-yodeck-pricing-update/)), so an older quote may be lower than today's list price.

## How screenRIG is priced

screenRIG is free. Standard includes unlimited screens, with no per-screen fee, 1 GB of storage and 500 agent requests an hour. Downloads to screens are free. Paid plans are priced per organization and add business tools such as video walls, alert routing and campaigns, more people, and support. Plan prices are on [pricing](https://screenrig.ai/pricing.md).

> **How we checked.** Yodeck's and OptiSigns' prices and limits come from the pages under Sources, read on 9 Nov 2026, in US dollars unless marked CAD. Yearly cost is list price times screens times 12. Yodeck and OptiSigns are trademarks of their owners, and screenRIG is not affiliated with either.
