Why pay more than for a streaming stick
What the Signage Stick does
that a Fire TV or onn box cannot.
Amazon gives approved signage software a device agent on the Stick. That agent is what lets Brix control the Stick itself, not only the app on it.
| With Brix on it | Amazon Signage Stick | Fire TV Stick or Android TV box (such as onn) |
|---|---|---|
| After a power cut | Starts straight into Brix | Starts the home screen, then Brix if you allowed it to start on its own |
| Other apps | None. Staff cannot open streaming apps | Streaming apps one button away |
| Reboot from Brix | Yes | No |
| TV on and off from Brix (HDMI-CEC) | Yes | No |
| Screenshot of the TV, video included | Yes | Video shows black unless someone at the screen accepts a prompt |
| Change the Wi-Fi from Brix | Yes | No |
| Portrait, video included | Yes, the whole display turns | Video may not turn without extra setup |
| Price | $99.99 | About $30 to $60 for an onn box |
The Fire TV and Android column is Brix installed from an app store. Restart the Brix app, clear its cache and set its volume work on both.
A cheaper box is fine for a screen you can walk to. For a screen at another site, behind a counter or in a public place, the Stick saves the trip. Signage Stick vs Walmart onn · Fire TV Stick for signage
Before you buy
Is the Signage Stick
right for your screens?
It suits menus, offers, notices and dashboards on one TV per Stick, from one screen to a few hundred: restaurants, shops, gyms, schools and offices, especially screens at another site or where staff could change the TV.
One picture across several TVs?
No. One Stick drives one screen, so it cannot run a video wall. Use a player built for walls, such as a Windows PC. Stick and video walls
A hidden Wi-Fi network?
The Stick does not find a hidden network at setup. Show the network name while you set it up, or use the Ethernet adapter.
A sunny window or a hot kitchen?
The Stick is rated for indoor use up to 35 °C (95 °F). Keep it away from grills, heater vents and direct sun.
Touch screens?
The Stick takes no touch input. It is for screens people watch, not screens they tap.
Already using another CMS on the Stick?
Keep the Stick. Factory reset it and choose Brix Signage during setup. We move your content for free. Change the CMS
Want the screen and player in one? The Amazon Signage Display.
A 55-inch 4K screen with the Signage Stick's player built in: no HDMI cable, no second power plug. $699.99 in the US. It runs the same Brix app, set up the same way, for 18 hours a day in landscape. The Stick is still the best value if you already have a TV.
Which CMS works with it
Software that works with
the Amazon Signage Stick.
The Stick runs only the signage software (CMS) on Amazon's partner list, more than 80 providers. You choose one during setup and the Stick installs it. About 30 carry Amazon's Remote Management label, and Brix is one of them.
What to check before you choose
- The Remote Management label. Without it, the CMS cannot reboot the Stick, capture its screen or turn the TV off, and a frozen screen means a visit.
- Offline playback. How much of the playlist the CMS saves on the Stick, so the screen keeps playing when the Wi-Fi drops.
- Price per screen over three years. You buy the Stick once and pay for the CMS every month, so the software is most of the cost.
- Switching later. You keep the Stick. A factory reset and a new setup move it to another CMS.
Already have the Stick?
Four steps from the box
to a working screen.
1
Plug the Stick into the TV's HDMI port and into a wall socket. A TV's USB port gives it too little power.
→
2
In the Amazon Signage app on your phone, add the Stick and connect it to Wi-Fi.
→
3
Choose Brix Signage. The Stick installs Brix in 5 to 10 minutes, then the TV shows a code.
→
4
In Brix, open Screens > Add screen > Pair a hardware device, type the code and pick a playlist.
Start your trial first, so your Brix account is ready when the code appears on the TV.

Signage Stick questions
What people ask
before they start.
Which software works with the Amazon Signage Stick?
Only the CMS providers on Amazon's partner list, more than 80 of them. You pick one during the Stick's setup. Brix is on the list with Amazon's Remote Management label. Compare the main ones.
How long does setup take?
About 10 minutes a Stick, most of it the Stick installing Brix. Pairing it in Brix takes a median of 2.6 minutes. Save your Wi-Fi as a profile in Amazon's app and each next Stick is faster.
What happens when the internet drops?
The Stick keeps playing the playlist saved on it, and picks up your changes when the connection comes back. Live apps, such as weather and web pages, need the connection.
Can the TV turn off at night?
Yes. A new screen runs 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. Outside those hours the Stick turns the TV off over HDMI-CEC. Set the screen to Always on for 24-hour stores.
Is there an app for my phone?
There is no app to install. Brix works in your phone's browser, so you can change a screen from anywhere.
Is there a volume discount?
No. Every screen is $6 a month billed annually, or $8 billed monthly, with every feature. For rollouts of 30 or more screens, Amazon provides the Sticks free.
Do I need an Amazon account?
Yes, to set up the Stick in the Amazon Signage app. Use the same account for every Stick so they stay in one organization.
Can staff change what is on the screen?
No. The Stick has no other apps to open, and only people with a Brix login can change what plays.
Is the Stick worth $99.99?
For screens at another site or in a public place, yes: it locks to signage and you can fix it remotely. Read the full Signage Stick review.
