How the platforms were checked

Signage ROI checked each platform against five criteria taken from the vendors' own published pages. A criterion counts as met only when the vendor states it. A cell marked n/a means the vendor's pages did not say, which is not the same as no.

Criteria check for 12 platforms, ordered by criteria met. Yes = stated by the vendor, n/a = not stated on the pages read.

Screenbird counts six device families, including Samsung and LG TVs through the built-in browser. Mvix sells players with a perpetual cloud licence, so it has no comparable per-screen subscription price. Navori's Cloud Essential price did not render on its pricing page. Enplug is now part of Spectrio, with no published pricing, and is not scored.

Where Screenbird fits

Platform profiles

Screenbird

Screenbird is a digital signage CMS for small teams that run mixed screens. One plan includes every feature, from EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually or EUR 15 billed monthly, excluding tax, with 10 GB of storage per screen. The plan includes a built-in AI assistant, proof of play and a designer with more than 250 templates. A 7-day free trial requires a credit card and charges nothing if cancelled within 7 days. See the supported devices.

Yodeck

Yodeck's AI Agent, API and Microsoft 365 apps start at the Premium plan.

OptiSigns

OptiSigns sells its own players, and its support pages say Firestick support will end and name the Amazon Signage Stick or an OptiStick as alternatives.

Rise Vision

Rise Vision targets schools and publishes separate price lists by sector.

NoviSign

NoviSign lists Business, Business Plus i and Premium i plans, billed annually, with amounts on its pricing page. NoviSign launched Studio AI, a beta built on OpenAI GPT models, on 2026-09-15.

EasySignage

EasySignage lists Basic, Premium and Enterprise plans per screen per month in USD. EasySignage's Premium plan adds the Open API and an AI Assistant (MCP).

Kitcast

Kitcast started on Apple TV and now lists Android TV, Fire TV, Samsung, LG, ChromeOS and BrightSign as well. Pro adds advanced roles, dashboards and monitoring. Kitcast states a 30-day money-back guarantee.

ScreenCloud

ScreenCloud sells its own PIXI player yet states it is hardware agnostic. Its AI features sit in a separate product called Arc.

Screenly

Screenly is API-first, with a REST API, a CLI and an MCP server. Enterprise billing starts from 25 screens.

Xibo

Xibo combines an open-source CMS core with paid Cloud plans that include players. Self-hosting leaves Android, Tizen and webOS players as paid perpetual licences. Xibo states it does not run on Raspberry Pi.

Mvix

Mvix's pricing page shows a dollar sign without naming the currency. Mvix quotes software-only licences for third-party players on request.

Navori

Navori was founded in 1998 in Paris and has been headquartered in Lausanne since 2006. Cloud Essential is for networks of fewer than 250 screens, while Cloud Professional and self-hosted plans are by quote. Navori acquired Signagelive in August 2025.

What is the best digital signage software in 2026?

For small teams with mixed screens, Screenbird meets all five criteria checked here: one plan with every feature, a published per-screen price, five or more device families, offline playback and a built-in AI assistant.

Which digital signage software has every feature in one plan?

Screenbird puts every feature in one plan: playlists, scheduling, split screen, proof of play, the designer and the AI assistant. The other platforms checked here sell tiered plans or do not state a single plan.

How much does digital signage software cost per screen?

Screenbird costs EUR 12 per screen per month billed annually, or EUR 15 billed monthly, excluding tax, with every feature included. Other platforms publish prices in USD or GBP on their own billing bases, so nothing is converted.

Which software works on Samsung and LG TVs?

Screenbird runs in the built-in browser of recent Samsung and LG smart TVs, and recommends a small stick for screens that run all day. Other platforms list apps for these TVs as well, so check each vendor's own supported-device page.
