Yodeck pricing plans per screen, and what each one actually costs

These are the published US list rates per active screen per month, read from Yodeck's own pricing page.

The annual and monthly rates on that table are the same figure. What the annual term buys is not a discount off the software, it is the hardware: commit for a year and the player arrives with the license.

One screen, forever, no card. That is more generous than it sounds and less useful than it looks. It is a genuine full feature single screen account, so you can build a real playlist, a real schedule and a real layout and see how the platform behaves. It is also exactly one screen, which means the moment your reception screen works and somebody asks for one in the break room, you are on Basic for both.

Treat the free plan as an evaluation, not a deployment. Nobody runs a business on one screen for long.

Basic is the cheapest honest entry price in hosted digital signage and it is not crippled. You get all media types, the drag and drop layout editor, 800 plus templates, around 90 essential apps, an interactive kiosk app, and basic scheduling and playlists. For a single cafe, a gym reception, a church foyer or a dental practice, Basic does the job and will keep doing it.

Two things are missing that people discover later. There is no Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace integration, so a screen cannot pull a shared calendar or a SharePoint list. And there are no Playback Reports, so you cannot produce a record of what played.

Premium is where most multi-screen accounts end up. On top of Basic it adds Microsoft 365 and Google apps, data visualization apps, the Yodeck AI agent and the API, advanced media scheduling, and tag based playlists and sub-playlists. The included player steps up from 1 GB to 4 GB of RAM, which matters for 4K video and for web pages that are heavier than a slide.

Premium also turns on Playback Reports, Yodeck's name for proof of play. You get daily, weekly or monthly records of what played on which player, downloadable as raw CSV. This is the feature people use to bill advertisers and report royalties, and it is the single most common reason an account moves off Basic.

Enterprise adds the governance layer: workspaces and hierarchies, SAML single sign on and data encryption, custom roles and permissions, branded templates, separate billing entities and 24/5 support. If your organization has an IT function with an opinion about directory-managed access, this is the tier that survives their review. If it does not, Premium is probably enough.

Enterprise+ is quoted rather than published and adds onboarding, training, a dedicated account manager, design consultation, 24/7 priority support and security assessment services.

The honest test is one question: will anyone ever ask you to prove what was on a screen on a given day? A landlord, a franchisor, a brand partner who paid for a placement, a compliance officer, an advertiser. If the answer is yes, you need Premium, and you should budget 12 USD per screen from the start rather than discover it in month four.

If the answer is no, and nothing on the screens comes out of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, Basic is genuinely sufficient and the 4 USD per screen difference is 4 USD you can spend on a better panel.

This is the part of Yodeck pricing that competitors find hardest to answer. On an annual plan the license comes with a player: 1 GB on Basic, 4 GB on Premium and Enterprise. Yodeck values the swap at 20 USD on Basic and 70 USD on Premium if you bring your own device instead.

At 25 screens that is real money and real time saved, because the players arrive configured rather than needing an afternoon of imaging. The trade is that you are running a managed appliance from one vendor. Replacements, firmware and the eventual end of support all come from the same place as the software. If your IT team has already standardized on Chrome devices or Windows mini PCs, the bundled player is a second fleet to look after, not a saving.

Platforms that run the player as a browser page sidestep the question entirely, because the device is whatever you already buy. Our own digital signage player page covers what that looks like in practice, and the full cost breakdown prices panels, mounting and connection alongside the software line.

Not on the software. Yodeck's published table shows the same per screen figure for monthly and annual billing, which is unusual in this category, where 10 to 25 percent off for an annual commitment is normal. The annual term buys hardware, not a discount.

That has one practical consequence worth knowing: if you are on an annual plan, your rate holds until renewal, and multi-year contracts hold for the term. Screens added mid-term may be billed at the current rate rather than yours.

Yodeck raised Premium and Enterprise by one dollar per screen per month in April 2026, taking Premium from 11 to 12 USD and Enterprise from 15 to 16 USD. Basic stayed at 8 USD. Existing annual and multi-year customers kept their agreed rate for the term.

Per screen pricing compounds in a way that flat pricing does not. One dollar sounds like nothing. Across 80 screens it is 960 USD a year, appearing in a budget line nobody flagged. Whichever platform you choose, model the bill at the screen count you expect in two years, not the one you have this week.

The subscription is one of five lines in a screen budget, and it is usually the smallest one in year one.

• 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 and more on an awkward wall
• Connectivity where a screen sits somewhere without coverage
• The player, unless it came with the license
• The hours somebody spends making content, which is the line that never appears in any quote

Then there is the running cost of knowing the screens are alive. A dark screen in a branch nobody visits stays dark for weeks unless something tells you. Screens are infrastructure the moment they carry something that matters, and they deserve the same uptime monitoring discipline you already apply to a website or an API: an alert when the heartbeat stops, not a phone call from a customer.

Software only, at the published per screen rates, excluding hardware and tax.

Put the same arithmetic against every shortlisted vendor at the tier that has the features you need, not the tier on the front of their pricing page. Most comparisons go wrong there.

For one screen, between 0 and 16 USD depending on tier. For a typical small deployment of five screens on Premium, 60 USD a month. For 25 screens on Premium, 300 USD a month. Yodeck bills per active screen with no ceiling and no volume tier on the published table, so the monthly figure is simply the rate times the screen count.

Yes, for one screen, with no card and no expiry, and with the feature set intact. It is not a trial. The limit is the screen count, and it is a hard one, so the free plan ends the day you add a second display rather than after 14 days.

Not on an annual plan, where a player is included with each license. On a monthly plan, or if you prefer your own device, you buy the hardware yourself and Yodeck applies a small credit instead of shipping one. Either way, the player is not a separate line item on the subscription.

Yodeck is the right buy when price per screen is the deciding number, when the deployment is new, and when a configured player arriving in a box is worth more than choosing your own hardware. That describes a lot of first signage projects and there is no shame in it.

It is the wrong buy when the evidence side of the job is the point. A playback log records that the player reported a file as played. It does not show what the panel rendered, which is the gap that opens when a screen sits on the wrong input, a web page fails behind a cached frame, or a resolution mismatch crops half the message. When a franchisor or an advertiser asks what was on that wall on the fourteenth, a line in a CSV is an assertion and a timestamped screenshot is evidence.

That is the difference our proof of play is built around, and it is the reason our per screen rate is higher rather than lower. If you want the two platforms next to each other on price, players and reporting, the Yodeck vs OptiSigns comparison has the full table.
