Compare
Jonza or Xibo?
Xibo's CMS is open source and can run on your own servers. Here's how that compares with Jonza, a managed service with a team that sets your screens up.
Xibo in brief
Xibo is a digital signage platform from Xibo Signage Ltd in Hove, England. Its CMS core is free and open source under the AGPLv3 licence: you can run it on your own servers, or pay per display per month for Xibo's cloud hosting, with data centres in several countries.
Players are separate: the Windows player is free and open source, while the Android, LG webOS, Samsung Tizen and ChromeOS players carry a one-off licence per display. It offers detailed scheduling, display groups, user roles with two-factor sign-in and single sign-on, and proof-of-play reports.

Where Jonza makes the difference
Nothing to host or maintain
Jonza runs in the cloud and in your browser. There's no server to install, update or back up, and no IT project before the first screen goes on.
Set up with you, not by you
Our team connects to your screens remotely and gets them playing, or ships screens that come ready. Your staff only turn them on.
Support from the people who build it
Questions go to the team that builds Jonza, rather than to a forum or a manual.
Made in Türkiye, screens included
Jonza is built in Türkiye by Erpa Teknoloji. The screens we ship are Tochi, Erpa's own brand, made in Türkiye, and they arrive with Jonza already set up, so the screen and the software come from one local company.
When Xibo may suit you better
Xibo suits organisations with their own IT team that want full control: hosting the CMS on their own servers, reading and changing the source code, or keeping everything inside their own network. The open-source licence also makes it attractive for technical teams that like to build on what they use.
If you'd rather not run a server at all, and want a team that sets the screens up with you, Jonza is the simpler road.
Questions
Can I move my screens from Xibo to Jonza?
Usually. Xibo and Jonza share Android, Windows, Linux, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen. Bring your images and videos into the Jonza media library, and our team helps you set the screens up.
What does Jonza cost?
It depends on how many screens and locations you run. Write to us with your numbers and we'll put together a plan.
