## 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.

> We make Jonza, so it's first on our list. We've tried to be fair to the others, and for plenty of businesses one of them will be the better pick.

## At a glance

Who each platform suits, how setup works and whether it comes with hardware of its own.

|  | Best for | Setup | Own hardware | Company |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Jonza | Businesses and public buildings of any size, especially with several branches | Our team sets up your screens remotely, or Tochi screens arrive ready | Tochi screens, with Jonza already set up | Erpa Teknoloji, Türkiye |
| Yodeck | Starting free and setting it up yourself | Self-serve, with guides | Its own player, on annual plans | Flipnode Ltd, Greece |

| OptiSigns | The widest choice of devices, streaming sticks included | Self-serve, with guides | Its own sticks and players | OptiSigns, United States |
| NoviSign | AI help with content, approval steps and video walls | Self-serve, with guides | None of its own | NoviSign Ltd, Israel |
| Rise Vision | Schools and districts, especially in North America | Self-serve, with guides | Its own media player | Rise Vision, Canada |

Details on the other platforms are from their public websites, checked on 21 October 2026. Plans, prices and features 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.

> Best for: cafés, shops, offices, clinics, hotels, gyms and municipalities, especially with several branches, that want the setup done with them by the team that builds the product.

## 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.

If you'd like a team that sets the screens up with you, answers your questions itself and builds a plan around your branches, write to us. We'll tell you what it would take for your screens.

## Questions

### What is digital signage software?

It's the software that decides what plays on the screens in shops, cafés, offices and public buildings. You upload photos and videos, design screens, plan when each one plays and send it all to your screens over the internet, instead of changing each one with a USB stick or printing new posters. Most of it now runs in the cloud: a dashboard in the browser and a player app on each screen.

### Which digital signage software is best?

It depends on what you run and who will use it. For a business with branches that wants the setup done with it and a team to talk to, we'd suggest Jonza. For a large English-speaking company's internal screens, ScreenCloud; for schools in North America, Rise Vision; for hosting everything yourself, Xibo; for screens that are all Samsung, MagicINFO.

### How much does digital signage software cost?

Most platforms charge per screen, monthly or yearly, and many publish their prices. Some have a free plan or let you host the software yourself for free, and some charge for player licences or hardware on top. Jonza's price depends on how many screens and locations you run: write to us with your numbers and we'll put together a plan.

### Is cloud or self-hosted signage software better?

The cloud is simpler: nothing to install or maintain, and you manage screens from anywhere. Self-hosting suits organisations whose IT team needs everything on its own servers; Xibo, Samsung MagicINFO, NoviSign's private server and OptiSigns' top plan offer that. Jonza runs in the cloud, so there's nothing for you to host.

### Do I need special screens or players?

Usually not. Many smart TVs can run signage software on their own, and a TV that can't gets a small player over HDMI. Jonza 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.

### Can I move to Jonza from another platform?

Often, yes. If your screens run one of the systems Jonza supports, the Jonza player can run on them. Your images and videos go into the Jonza media library, and our team helps you set the screens up.
