How to read it. Look applies one rate to every screen in the account, set by the account's size (the calculator multiplies the tier rate by the screen count). DigitalSignage.com is free up to 3 screens; once an account has 4 or more, every screen is billed, so 5 screens are $180 and 10 are $360. Its column is the $3 entry rate; the public calculator applies volume pricing on top.
Which fits
- ScreenCloud if the screens are part of workplace communications in a larger company: SSO, audit logs, Power BI and SharePoint, BrightSign hardware already in place. See ScreenCloud pricing 2026.
- Look if you want lower per-screen cost as the network grows, built-in content creation, players on Fire OS, Linux or Raspberry Pi, or an on-premise license.
- DigitalSignage.com if price per screen, a permanent free tier or a one-time on-premise server matter most and your players are Windows, Mac, Android or Android TV, Chrome OS, Raspberry Pi or iPad. It does not run on LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, Fire OS or BrightSign, so a fleet of those devices is better served by ScreenCloud or Look. Comparison: DigitalSignage.com vs ScreenCloud.
