The best digital signage software companies of 2026

They all promise the same thing

Most digital signage platforms say much the same on their homepage: content on any screen, managed from the cloud, simple enough for anyone. The differences show up later: who sets the screens up, which devices it runs on, what language the dashboard and the support speak, and how the price grows as you add branches.

This list covers eight platforms we know well: Jonza, our own, and seven well-known alternatives we've already compared side by side. For each one we say what it is, what it does well, who it suits and what to know before you sign. The details on the other platforms come from their own public websites; plans and prices change, so check each company's site for the current offer.

What to look for

Feature lists won't separate these platforms much. These questions will.

• Who sets it up. Some platforms are fully self-serve: you install the player and follow the guides. Others set the screens up with you. Neither is wrong, but be honest about how much time your team has.
• Whether it runs on the screens you have. Ask about the exact system (Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Android, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi), and whether different brands can sit in one account.
• Language and support. Branch staff should be able to read the dashboard without guessing, and someone should answer in your language when a screen goes dark.
• How the price is built. Most platforms charge per screen, monthly or yearly. Ask what's included and what sits on higher plans, and compare the total for your own screens, not the headline price.
• Running many screens. Once you're past a handful, grouping screens by branch, planning content by time of day and seeing from the office which screens are on matter more than the editor.
• Where it's hosted. The cloud is the simplest to run. Some organisations need their own server, and a few platforms offer one.
• Trying it, and leaving. A pilot on one real screen tells you more than a demo, and your images and videos should stay yours if you move.

Our guide to choosing digital signage software goes through these questions one by one.

1. Jonza

Jonza is a cloud digital signage platform built in Türkiye by Erpa Teknoloji. You design screens, line up what plays and plan the week in the browser, and every screen follows wherever it is. Our team sets up your screens remotely, or we ship Tochi screens, Erpa's own brand, with Jonza already set up.

• A screen designer in the browser: text, images, video and live information placed to the pixel, with animations and transitions, on landscape and portrait screens.
• Playlists of photos, videos and live web pages, and a full timeline for layering widgets and reusing one playlist inside another.
• A weekly calendar that switches content by day and time, with one-off days that play over the usual plan and then hand back.
• Live widgets: a menu with prices and deals, the time and weather, opening hours, a Wi-Fi QR code, countdowns and more.
• Every screen's status in one list, tags for branches and floors, and updates sent to a whole group in one step, from a computer or a phone.
• Runs on Linux, Windows, Android, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, LG webOS, Raspberry Pi and Samsung Tizen, and Tochi screens arrive with it already set up.

Worth knowing: there's no price list on the website. Tell us how many screens and locations you run, and we'll put together a plan.

In short

There's no single best digital signage software, only the best fit for your screens, your team and your branches. Start from what you run today, ask who sets it up and who answers when something's wrong, and compare the total for your own screens rather than the price per screen.
