OptiSigns pricing per screen, and what OptiSigns costs once the add-ons are in

Published US list rates per active screen per month, read from the OptiSigns pricing page and re-checked in September 2026.

Unlike Yodeck, OptiSigns publishes a real annual discount rather than bundling hardware. The annual rate is roughly 10 percent below the monthly one on every paid tier.

Three screens, 1 GB of storage, up to three users, 25 basic apps, and playlists capped at 30 items. It is a genuine free tier rather than a countdown trial, so you can build real playlists and real schedules and watch how the platform behaves over a month.

The catch is on the screen itself. The free plan displays OptiSigns branding on your displays, which rules it out for anything a customer sees. Treat it as an evaluation account for three screens in a back office, not as a deployment.

Standard is the tier most single-location buyers land on, and it is not crippled. You get the content editor, scheduling, playlists, the app library and unlimited screens billed per screen. For a cafe, a gym reception, a dental practice or a church foyer, Standard does the job and keeps doing it.

Two absences matter later. There is no proof of play, so you cannot produce a record of what played. And the governance features are not there: no approval workflow, no folder level security, no advanced roles. With one person publishing, none of that is missed. With six people across four sites, it is the reason accounts move up.

Pro is the honest comparison point against other vendors, because it is the first tier that reports. On top of Standard it adds proof of play, an approval workflow, advanced roles and folder level security.

That combination is what a multi-site operation actually needs: somebody drafts, somebody approves, and afterwards there is a record. At 11.25 USD on the annual rate it is competitively priced against Yodeck Premium at 12 USD, which is the closest equivalent tier on that platform.

Pro Plus is where OptiSigns separates itself from the cheaper end of the category. It adds Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace integration, dashboard display for tools like Power BI, and OptiSync, which maps dynamic data from a spreadsheet or an external source onto a screen template.

If your screens are meant to show live numbers, a production dashboard, a shared calendar or a SharePoint list, this is your actual price, not 10 USD. Most operations teams who chose OptiSigns for the integrations are on Pro Plus, and that is the number to put in a comparison.

Engage adds interaction: a kiosk designer, Lift and Learn for retail shelves, a check-in app and QR scan features. It triples the entry rate, and it is only worth it if the screen is something a customer touches rather than watches. A lobby check-in kiosk or a retail display that reacts when a product is lifted justifies it. A menu board does not.

Enterprise is 45 USD monthly or 40.50 USD annually, with a minimum of 25 screens. That minimum is the detail people miss: the entry cost of this tier is not 45 USD, it is 1,012.50 USD a month on the annual rate before anyone has hung a panel. What you buy is a dedicated customer success manager, priority support and custom deployment options, not extra features on the screen.

OptiSigns publishes paid add-ons separately from the plan table, which is unusual in this category and easy to miss when you are building a budget.

None of these are exotic. A video wall in a lobby, music in a retail space and screen sharing in a meeting room are ordinary requests, and each one lands outside the per screen rate you compared against. Price the deployment you are actually building, not the plan row.

Yes, roughly 10 percent on every paid tier. Standard drops from 10 to 9 USD, Pro from 12.50 to 11.25, Pro Plus from 15 to 13.50, Engage from 30 to 27 and Enterprise from 45 to 40.50. That is a smaller commitment discount than some competitors offer, and it comes without the hardware bundling that makes Yodeck's flat annual rate look different than it is.

Software only, at the annual per screen rates, excluding hardware, add-ons and tax.

Run the same arithmetic against every vendor on your shortlist at the tier that has the features you need, not the tier on the front of their pricing page. That single substitution is where most signage budgets go wrong.

Per screen pricing also has a habit of growing where nobody is watching. A screen added at a new branch is a line on a card statement, not a purchase order, so the signage bill drifts up one display at a time alongside every other per seat subscription in the business. If your software spend has quietly outgrown anyone's mental model of it, signage is usually one of the lines nobody has re-read in two years.

The subscription is one line of five in a screen budget, and in year one it is rarely the biggest.

• The panel, from a couple of hundred dollars for a consumer TV to three times that for a commercial one
• Mounting, cabling and an electrician, commonly 150 to 500 USD per screen, more on an awkward wall
• The player device, since OptiSigns is software only and expects you to supply an Android stick, Fire TV, ChromeOS device or Windows mini PC
• Connectivity at sites without existing coverage
• The hours somebody spends making content, the line that appears in no quote

Our digital signage cost breakdown prices the whole bill rather than the software row.

Yes, for up to three screens, permanently, with no card required. You get 1 GB of storage, three users, 25 basic apps and playlists capped at 30 items. The limitation that ends it for most businesses is not the screen count, it is the OptiSigns branding shown on the display, which makes the free tier unsuitable for anything a customer or a patient sees.

For one screen, between 9 and 45 USD depending on tier and billing term. For a typical five screen deployment on Pro, 56.25 USD a month on the annual rate. For 25 screens on Pro, 281.25 USD a month. OptiSigns bills per active screen with no volume tiering on the published table, so the monthly figure is the rate multiplied by the screen count, plus any add-ons.

No. OptiSigns is software only and expects you to bring the device. It runs on Android sticks, Fire TV, Raspberry Pi, ChromeOS devices and Windows mini PCs, and it sells hardware separately through its own shop rather than bundling it with a license. Budget 40 to 150 USD per screen for a device if you do not already have one, and remember that a fleet of sticks is a fleet somebody has to keep patched.

At the entry tier Yodeck is cheaper: Basic at 8 USD against Standard at 10 USD, and a paid annual Yodeck plan ships a configured player while OptiSigns ships nothing. At the reporting tier the gap nearly closes and flips on the annual rate, with Yodeck Premium at 12 USD and OptiSigns Pro at 11.25 USD.

The real difference is not the dollar. It is what you are buying into: Yodeck is a managed appliance model, OptiSigns is software on your own devices with the larger app library. The Yodeck vs OptiSigns comparison puts both next to each other on price, players and reporting, and the Yodeck pricing guide breaks down that side tier by tier.

OptiSigns is the right buy when your screens need to show things that live in other systems. The app and dashboard library is the largest in the mainstream market, and Power BI, Salesforce, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace on a wall display are things it genuinely does well. If your team already runs the data and just needs it on a screen, Pro Plus at 13.50 USD is a fair price for that.

It is the weaker buy when the point of the screens is evidence. Proof of play on Pro produces a CSV record of what each player reported playing. That satisfies an internal audit. It does not show what the panel actually rendered, which is the gap that opens when a screen sits on the wrong input while the player reports normally, when a web page item fails behind a cached frame, or when a resolution mismatch crops the bottom of a compliance notice.

When a franchisor, a landlord, an advertiser or an inspector asks what was on that wall on the fourteenth, a line in a log is an assertion and a timestamped screenshot is evidence. That difference is what our proof of play is built around, and it is why our rate per screen is higher rather than lower. If you are already on OptiSigns and weighing a move, the OptiSigns alternative shortlist prices four platforms at 25 screens. If you are early enough in the process to still be drawing up a shortlist, how to choose digital signage software covers the questions worth asking before the price comparison starts.
