# A free PosterBooking alternative with no watermark on your screens

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

For most studios and small shops, screenRIG is the better and cheaper choice than PosterBooking: it is free, it puts no watermark on your screens, and your agent does the work. [PosterBooking's pricing page](https://posterbooking.com/digital-signage-price) lists 10 free screens, with a small watermark once the 3-month trial ends. We make screenRIG, and every PosterBooking fact here links to PosterBooking's own page.

Updated October 28, 2026 · Checked October 28, 2026.

> **You:** Put this week's classes on the lobby TV. Vinyasa Flow is Monday and Wednesday at 6 pm with Maya in Studio A, and Thursday at 7:15 with Sam. Yin Restore is Monday at 7:15 and Thursday at 6 with Priya in Studio B. Basics is Tuesday at 6:30 with Maya in Studio A. Gentle Flow is Friday at 5:30 with Priya in Studio B, and Weekend Flow is Saturday at 5 with Maya in Studio A.
>
> **Agent:** Done. The lobby TV shows the week from Monday to Saturday, with each class in its place, coloured by type, and today marked. I checked the screen, and nothing else is on it. Building it and seeing it play took about seven seconds.

## From one message to a class timetable

This is a real session on a test screen, run on 28 October 2026. The studio, its classes and its teachers are made up.

Later in the week, a class is cancelled.

> **You:** Thursday's 6 pm Yin Restore is cancelled this week. Take it off.
>
> **Agent:** Done. Thursday now shows only the 7:15 pm Vinyasa Flow. The grid changed in place within a few seconds, I didn't publish anything again, and I checked the screen.

## What does PosterBooking cost past 10 free screens?

[PosterBooking's pricing page](https://posterbooking.com/digital-signage-price) lists a free plan for 10 screens. A 3-month full-feature trial comes first, then free screens continue with a small watermark. No credit card is required. From the 11th screen it is $6.49 a month per screen.

The free plan lists uploading images and videos, slideshows and video walls. Scheduled playlists appear on Home Basic, which is $52 a month for 10 screens with no watermark. The page shows large uploads, 4K content and screen monitoring as not included on both plans. Business Pro is $520 a month for unlimited screens.

| Screens | screenRIG | PosterBooking free plan | PosterBooking Home Basic ($52 a month) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Free | $0, watermark after the trial | $624 a year |
| 2 | Free | $0, watermark after the trial | $624 a year |
| 3 | Free | $0, watermark after the trial | $624 a year |
| 5 | Free | $0, watermark after the trial | $624 a year |
| 10 | Free | $0, watermark after the trial | $624 a year |

Yearly cost is the monthly list price times 12, before tax. PosterBooking bills monthly, with no contracts. Home Basic is priced for 10 screens, so every row pays the same $624. Past 10 screens each one is $6.49 a month, $77.88 a year: 50 screens is 40 paid screens, or $3,115.20 a year. Hardware is left out, because PosterBooking says a TV and a low-cost stick are enough to start. On screenRIG, Standard includes up to 50 screens. See [pricing](https://screenrig.ai/upgrades.md) for more.

PosterBooking is a good fit if you want to upload images and videos and play them as a slideshow, or to run signage under your own brand. [Its pricing page](https://posterbooking.com/digital-signage-price) lists whitelabel features and a branded dashboard on Business Pro.

> **How we checked.** PosterBooking's prices and limits come from the pages under Sources, read on 28 Oct 2026, in US dollars. PosterBooking is a trademark of its owner, and screenRIG is not affiliated with it. If a figure has moved, [tell us](https://screenrig.ai/contact.md).

## Which of your screens carry over?

[PosterBooking's pricing page](https://posterbooking.com/digital-signage-price) says it runs on the Amazon Signage Stick, Fire TV Stick, Android devices, Windows PCs and Raspberry Pi. 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.

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 PosterBooking

screenRIG has no PosterBooking importer. Your agent imports a folder of your originals instead, and each folder of pictures and videos becomes a playlist. [PosterBooking's file guide](https://posterbooking.com/signage/how-to-guides/manage-files-on-digital-signage-with-posterbooking) says your uploads are under Content, then Images/Videos, where you can sort them into folders. Put the originals for each screen in a folder of its own, then ask:

> **You:** Move our PosterBooking content here. The photos and videos are in the posterbooking-files folder, with one folder for the lobby TV and one for the front window.
>
> **Agent:** I imported 16 files, 14 pictures and 2 videos, and made two playlists from the two folders, Lobby and Window. It took about twenty seconds. notes.txt is not a picture or a video, so I left it out. Install the screenRIG Player on each TV, read me its code, and I'll connect it with its playlist.

- **Start from your original files.** Use the pictures and videos you uploaded, from the computer or phone they came from. Your agent reads that folder and nothing else.
- **Schedules come next.** The import brings in pictures, videos and playlists. Schedules are one more message once the playlists exist.
- **Keep PosterBooking until the new screen matches.** [Its pricing page](https://posterbooking.com/digital-signage-price) says it is billed monthly with no contracts, and you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time. Take a screenshot of each screen first, then cancel.
