Raspberry Pi signage alternatives
Raspberry Pi is flexible, but many signage projects only need a reliable way to keep a URL on a TV.
Quick answer
Choose a Raspberry Pi when you need custom Linux control. Choose an Android TV signage app when the job is showing a webpage with less kiosk maintenance.
Why Screen Keep fits
