# A free OptiSigns alternative with no logo on your screens

> Canonical HTML: https://screenrig.ai/compare/optisigns-alternative

For most shops, screenRIG is the better and cheaper choice than OptiSigns: it is free, your screens show only your content, and your agent does the work. OptiSigns' free plan covers up to 3 screens, with the OptiSigns logo on them. We make screenRIG, so each OptiSigns fact links to OptiSigns' own page.

> **You:** Make the counter board for Linden Coffee: hot drink prices on the left, today's soup top right, what the bakery has left bottom right, a clock in the header and the milk and refill notice at the foot. Mark the almond bar sold out when it goes.
>
> **Agent:** Done. One page, five parts: the café name and clock on top, hot drink prices on the left, the soup top right, the bakery list bottom right and the milk notice along the foot. It's on the counter TV, and I checked the screen.

## One page, five parts

OptiSigns builds split screens in its Designer, where [the Split Screen app](https://support.optisigns.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026559573-How-to-Create-and-Use-the-Split-Screen-App) divides a screen into zones. On screenRIG you describe the layout and your agent places each part.

The chat above is a real session on a test screen, run on 27 October 2026. The café and its prices are made up. Later the bakery runs out of almond bars:

> **You:** The almond bars are gone.
>
> **Agent:** Marked sold out. The bakery list on the screen changed in place, and I didn't need to publish anything again.

*The counter board after the almond bar was marked sold out. The header and footer run the full width, and the other three parts sit where you asked.*

## What does the OptiSigns free plan leave out?

[OptiSigns' pricing page](https://www.optisigns.com/pricing) lists the free plan's limits in plain words. Read them against a café counter or a shop window, where the screen is the first thing a customer sees.

| Limit | screenRIG | OptiSigns free plan |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Screens | Standard includes up to 50 | Up to 3 |
| What customers see | Only your content: no screenRIG logo or watermark | The OptiSigns logo on your screens |
| Devices | Every screenRIG Player app: Android and Google TV, Amazon Signage Stick, Apple TV, Mac, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, BrightSign, Samsung Smart Signage and any modern browser | OptiSigns devices, Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi |
| Ready-made apps | 200+, on every plan | 25 basic apps |
| Files | Uploads and downloads are free on every plan | A 25 MB file limit, and playlists of up to 30 items and 200 MB |

[OptiSigns' help center](https://support.optisigns.com/hc/en-us/articles/37966066335891-Getting-Started-with-an-OptiSigns-Free-Trial) also describes a separate 14-day trial with two screens and the Pro Plus features. screenRIG has no trial to run out: Standard has no end date, and [pricing](https://screenrig.ai/pricing.md) has the plan facts.

## What do OptiSigns' paid plans cost?

Rates are per screen per month, billed annually, in US dollars before tax (checked 27 Oct 2026).

| Rate | screenRIG | OptiSigns Standard | OptiSigns Pro | OptiSigns Pro Plus | OptiSigns Engage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Per screen per month | Free | $9.00 | $11.25 | $13.50 | $27.00 |
| 10 screens for a year | Free | $1,080 | $1,350 | $1,620 | $3,240 |

OptiSigns Enterprise is $40.50 per screen per month with a 25-screen minimum, which is $12,150 a year. OptiSigns also lists SOC 2 Type 2 certification and GDPR compliance on its pricing page, which matters if a security review decides the purchase.

## Which of your screens carry over?

[OptiSigns' download page](https://www.optisigns.com/download) lists Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Amazon Signage, Apple TV, BrightSign, Samsung Smart Signage and Raspberry Pi, among others. Each has a screenRIG Player on [Downloads](https://screenrig.ai/downloads.md), and the Player web app opens in any modern browser. On a Raspberry Pi, the Player needs a Pi 4 or 5 with 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS.

OptiSigns asks you to type a pair code into its portal. On screenRIG you read the code on the screen to your agent, and it pairs the screen. [Start](https://screenrig.ai/docs/start.md) shows how to connect your agent.

## Moving over from OptiSigns

Tell your agent what to rebuild:

> **You:** Rebuild our OptiSigns screens here. I'm sending the original files, and a screenshot of each layout from the Designer.
>
> **Agent:** Thanks. I'll upload the files, rebuild each layout from your screenshots as one page of ready-made parts, and put the right playlist on each screen. Then I'll send you a screenshot of every screen to check against the old ones.

- **Download your files first.** [OptiSigns' help center](https://support.optisigns.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404608957075-How-to-Delete-Your-Account-from-OptiSigns) says to download a copy of your information, such as images and Designer assets, before you delete an account.
- **End the OptiSigns plan last,** after a screenshot of each screen matches what it ran.
