Digital signage cost calculator

How to read the result

Digital signage software is normally rented by the screen, by the month. The number that matters is not the monthly price but what you have paid by the time the screens come down. So the calculator shows cumulative totals: everything paid so far at the end of each year. On easyCMS that line goes flat the day you buy; on every subscription it keeps climbing.

Read year one honestly. At most sizes a subscription costs less in the first twelve months, because you are buying the whole five years in the first month. The break-even table says in which month each subscription catches up. After that, the gap only widens.

The comparison is software only. Screens, players, mounts and installation are extra on every platform, and they are usually the larger part of the budget. Our cost-per-screen guide does that arithmetic, and the Pricing Index is where every competitor number here comes from, with the date it was read.

Questions

Which prices does the calculator use?

Each vendor's cheapest published paid plan at its annual rate where one exists, as printed on the vendor's own pricing page, in the vendor's own currency. The prices come from our Digital Signage Pricing Index, which tracks 20 platforms and was last checked on 16 September 2026. easyCMS figures are our shop prices.

Why are the competitor figures not converted to euros?

Because an exchange rate we picked would quietly favour one side. Every figure stays in the currency the vendor prints, so a USD subscription against our euro price is indicative rather than an exact ranking. The break-even months are computed on the printed numbers.

What does the easyCMS figure include?

The account (49 € with one licence, up to five screens) or the PRO account (299 € with one licence, up to 25 screens), plus one licence per additional screen at 66 € when bought in the same order or 99 € later. Above 25 screens the Enterprise account applies at 1,290 € a year, with 49 € licences for Android, webOS and Tizen displays and no licence charge for Windows and Linux.

Where does a subscription win?

For one screen, Yodeck runs it free forever; for up to three screens OptiSigns is free with its logo on your screen. In the first year a subscription is usually cheaper than paying once, and the calculator says how many of them are. Past the break-even month the easyCMS line stays flat while every subscription keeps rising.

Can I embed the calculator on my own site?

Yes. Copy the embed code at the bottom of the page. It loads the calculator in a frame and links back to this page; you may remove the link if you prefer.
