Best Yodeck Alternatives: Free and Paid Compared

The best Yodeck alternative depends on why you are leaving:

• Every feature on one plan, on the Amazon Signage Stick: Brix, $6 per screen per month billed annually, or $8 billed monthly. We move your content over for you, free.
• Same $8 price, simple playlists: Play Digital Signage.
• More apps and interactive kiosks: OptiSigns.
• Apple TV, or SSO and SCIM for less: Kitcast.
• Schools: Rise Vision.
• Free, for up to 3 screens: OptiSigns Free or DigitalSignage.com Free.
• Free and open source: Anthias on a Raspberry Pi, or Xibo on your own server.

Stay on Yodeck if one free screen is all you need: no alternative matches that. Brix wrote this page and says where each option, Brix included, is the wrong choice.

Why do people look for a Yodeck alternative?

• Features sit on higher tiers. Basic is $8 per screen per month. Proof of play and the API need Premium ($12). Custom roles, workspaces, SAML and the audit log need Enterprise ($16). Annual and monthly billing cost the same.
• The price went up. Premium and Enterprise rose $1 per screen per month from April 1, 2026; Basic did not (Yodeck's notice, and our Yodeck price increase page).
• Approval is a role, not a workflow. On Premium and up, a Restricted Content Manager builds content but cannot publish it. Yodeck documents no request-and-approve queue.
• The Raspberry Pi player. The Yodeck Player is a pre-configured Raspberry Pi: free with annual plans, otherwise $85 (1 GB) or $155 (4 GB). Some buyers prefer a Signage Stick or the TV's own apps.
• Add-ons. Embeddable Feeds start at $6 a month. Yodeck Assurance is $1 per player per month.
• Support hours. Yodeck's pricing page lists 24/5 support.
• Release pace. Yodeck publishes release notes every one to two months; the July 2026 notes announced one feature, the Yodeck AI Agent (Premium and up). It is a large, established vendor (170+ people in 17 countries, per its careers page), and most of its team is based in Greece.

Yes, with limits:

• Anthias: free and open source, from the makers of Screenly. You run it on your own Raspberry Pi, with no vendor cloud and no central dashboard for many screens.
• Xibo: open-source CMS you host on your own server. The Windows player is free; Android players need a paid licence (£20). You run the server, backups and updates.

The full list is in free digital signage software.

Which players does Yodeck run on (Roku, Apple TV)?

Yodeck lists its own Yodeck Player, the Amazon Signage Stick, Fire TV, Android, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, BrightSign, Raspberry Pi 5, Windows and a web player in Chrome-based browsers.

• Roku: no. Yodeck has no Roku app. Nor does Brix. On a Roku TV, plug a Signage Stick or another player into HDMI.
• Apple TV: no. Kitcast runs on Apple TV.
• Raspberry Pi you already own: Yodeck and Anthias run on it. Brix does not.

Yodeck vs OptiSigns

Yodeck is cheaper at every tier ($8, $12, $16 against $10, $15, $30) and free for 1 screen against 3. OptiSigns puts roles, approvals, proof of play and audit logs on one tier (Pro Plus), where Yodeck splits them over Premium and Enterprise and handles approval through a role. OptiSigns has more apps and a kiosk builder. Both run on the Signage Stick, Samsung, LG, BrightSign, Raspberry Pi and Windows.

What does it cost over three years?

5 screens on annual billing, with players:

Yodeck Basic with its free player is cheapest if you never need a Premium or Enterprise feature. If you need proof of play, the API or custom roles, Brix costs less. On monthly billing, Yodeck customers buy the player.

How to switch from Yodeck

1. Check your renewal date, so you do not pay twice.
2. Run the new platform on one screen next to Yodeck for a week.
3. Move your media. Images and videos move as files; playlists and schedules are rebuilt. Moving to Brix, we do this for you, free, usually in a day.
4. Replace the player. The Yodeck Player runs Yodeck software; for Brix, add a Signage Stick or use a TV with Google TV built in.
