Cost reality

Digital signage costs more than a screen.

The real price is hardware, software, setup time, content upkeep, and recovery when the screen fails.

  • Device setup
  • Content rebuilding

Platform fit

Do you need a full CMS?

CMS
Use it for content operations

Approvals, playlists, asset libraries, templates, and multiple contributors.

URL
Skip it when the page already exists

A dashboard, menu, slide page, schedule, or campaign URL may only need a reliable player.

Remote

Free

Try the workflow before you commit to a larger stack.
Temporary screens

Events need a different buying model.

A booth, conference, church event, open house, or pop-up may only need a stable screen for a few days.
