A free Yodeck alternative for shops and cafés with more than one screen

For most shops and cafés, screenRIG is the better and cheaper Yodeck alternative: it is free, your agent does the work, and it runs on screens you already have. Yodeck's free plan stops at one screen. We make screenRIG, and every Yodeck fact here links to Yodeck's own page.

  1. You

    Cold brew is $3.50 this week instead of $4.50, until Sunday at 6 pm. Put it on the counter TV.

  2. Agent

    Done. The counter TV shows cold brew at $3.50, down from $4.50, with 22% off and a countdown to Sunday at 6 pm. It was playing about two seconds after I sent it, and I checked the screen.

01 From one message to two screens

From one message to two screens

This is a real session on a test screen, run on 27 October 2026. The café and its prices are made up.

The counter TV showing Cold brew, 12 oz at $3.50, down from $4.50, 22 percent off, ends in 6 days, in black and yellow type.
What the counter TV showed. The 22% off, the saving and the countdown are worked out on the screen from the two prices and the end time.

Then the owner adds a second TV by the register.

  1. You

    I put a second TV by the register. It's showing the code ABC 234.

  2. Agent

    Paired. Both TVs are under one "counter" tag now and show the same offer. I took a screenshot of each, and they match.

Two screens side by side, each showing the same black and yellow week special for cold brew at $3.50.
Both counter screens, captured one after the other. The two captures are identical.

A third screen, or a tenth, works the same way. So does next week's price: say it once and every screen follows, with nothing to publish again.

02 What does Yodeck cost when you add a second screen?

What does Yodeck cost when you add a second screen?

Yodeck's pricing page lists a free plan for one screen. Its manual says that from the second screen a paid subscription covers all of your screens, and the free screen no longer applies. The paid plans are Basic at $8, Premium at $12 and Enterprise at $16 per screen per month, billed annually, and Yodeck's AI Agent starts at Premium.

ScreensscreenRIGYodeck Basic ($8)Yodeck Premium ($12)
1FreeFree, its one free screen$144 a year
2Free$192 a year$288 a year
3Free$288 a year$432 a year
5Free$480 a year$720 a year
10Free$960 a year$1,440 a year

Yearly cost is the list price times the number of screens times 12, before tax and discounts. Yodeck's annual plans include a player for each screen, or money off if you bring your own device, so hardware is left out. On screenRIG, Standard includes up to 50 screens, 1 GB of storage and 10,000 agent requests a month. Pricing lists what more costs.

Yodeck is a good fit if you like to design each screen yourself. It has a drag-and-drop layout editor with 800+ templates, and annual plans include a preconfigured Raspberry Pi player (Yodeck pricing, players).

How we checked. Yodeck's prices and limits come from the pages under Sources, read on 27 Oct 2026, in US dollars. Yodeck is a trademark of its owner, and screenRIG is not affiliated with it. If a figure has moved, tell us.

03 Moving over from Yodeck

Moving over from Yodeck

Ask your agent to rebuild what you have. A message like this is enough:

  1. You

    Rebuild our Yodeck screens here. I'm sending the original photos and videos, and a note on what each screen shows and when.

  2. Agent

    Got it. I'll upload the files, rebuild each layout from your notes and any screenshots, and put the right playlist on each screen. Then I'll send you a screenshot of every screen to compare.

  • Start from your original files. Yodeck's FAQ says it is not a file storage service and to keep copies of what you make outside it. It also says deleting an account is permanent, so keep Yodeck on a screen until its replacement matches.
  • Check your player. The Yodeck Player is a small Raspberry Pi computer. The screenRIG Player, a free app, runs on a Pi 4 or 5, on Android sticks and TVs with Google TV, and on most other screens. Downloads lists every device.

04 Questions

Questions

Is Yodeck free?

For one screen, yes. Its pricing page lists a single-screen plan with all Basic features and unlimited users. From the second screen a paid subscription covers all of your screens, from $8 per screen per month billed annually (checked 27 Oct 2026). A 30-day trial covers up to 5 screens with no credit card.

Does Yodeck work with AI agents?

Yes. Yodeck's AI Agent is an MCP server that connects assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT, on its Premium and Enterprise plans. screenRIG works with your agent on every plan. Digital signage MCP servers compared sets the vendors side by side.

What does a second screen cost on screenRIG?

screenRIG is free. Pay only if you want more. Standard covers up to 50 screens, so a second screen costs what the first one did, and so does a tenth. Paid plans add more than 50 screens, people to talk to, contract terms, custom work or a lot of storage, never a feature. See pricing.

05 Try a full menu board

Cold brew was one offer. A café menu board shows breakfast, lunch and dinner changing on their own, with a sold-out item marked, built by your agent in the same way.
