Three things every enterprise vendor charges for. We don't.
$6 vs $30-$80 per screen
Visix, Spinetix, Scala, Stratacache, Navori, FWI — most sell by quote, with annual contracts and screen minimums. They're sized for procurement-heavy enterprise deals. Brix runs the same playback at $6/screen billed annually, public, no minimum.
$99 stick beats proprietary players
Every AV-channel platform pushes proprietary hardware — BrightSign-branded, Spinetix HMP, Stratacache ActiveLogic, Visix MURAL. Brix runs on a $99 Amazon Signage Stick, in stock today, swappable any time. No channel-partner discount required.
No RFP, no procurement gate
Enterprise vendors expect a six-month RFP cycle, vendor security questionnaires, and an annual contract. Brix is sign up, pair a stick, push content. Same day. No procurement workflow, no contract review, no SOW negotiation.
The math the AV channel doesn't want you running.
Most AV-channel vendors don't publish per-screen pricing. The numbers above reflect what former-customer reports place these vendors at when you back out the bundled hardware and minimums.
$99 stick. Tomorrow.
Stratacache ships ActiveLogic players with 12-week lead times. Spinetix HMP players are quoted through the AV channel. Brix runs on the $99 Amazon Signage Stick — order today, set up tomorrow, swap any time without a sales conversation.
When the enterprise vendors are right. And when they're not.
What the AV-channel vendors get right
Visix, Spinetix, Scala, Stratacache, Navori, FWI — these companies have been doing enterprise signage for decades. The hardware engineering is real, the global support footprints are real, the FedRAMP / SOC 2 / ISO 27001 compliance posture is real, and the channel-partner ecosystem with NEC / Samsung / LG / BrightSign is genuinely useful at scale.
If you're a transit authority, federal agency, hospital network, or Fortune 500 corporate-comms team rolling out 500+ screens with mandatory FIPS-validated encryption and a procurement process that requires three vendor bids, these are the right vendors. The price tag matches the buying motion they're built for.
Where the pricing math breaks for everyone else
Most operators aren't running 500-screen federal contracts. They're running 5-50 screens at restaurants, retailers, gyms, salons, churches, healthcare clinics, schools, distributed offices, and SMB corporate-comms shops.
For that buyer, AV-channel pricing is a 5-10× premium with no proportional value. You're paying for compliance paperwork you don't need, channel-partner discounts you can't access without an RFP, and proprietary hardware that locks you in for replacement cycles. Brix is built to remove all of that.
10 screens at $50/screen/month is $6,000/year. Same 10 screens on Brix is $720. Over 3 years that's $15,840 saved per location — real money for any operator running below the Fortune 500 line.
When to stay with the enterprise vendor
If your buying process requires SOC 2 Type 2, HECVAT, CAIQ, SIG, FedRAMP, FIPS-140-2, and a multi-year RFP — stay with Visix, Spinetix, Scala, Stratacache, Navori, or FWI. They've earned that buyer. Brix is on the SOC 2 roadmap but not there today, and we don't pretend otherwise.
If your buying process is "I need screens that work" — Brix is purpose-built for that 80% of the market.
Real questions. Real answers.
We're evaluating Visix / Spinetix / Scala. Why look at Brix?
The AV-channel platforms sell by quote, with annual contracts and screen minimums, because they're sized for procurement-heavy enterprise deals. If your need is signage that just works at SMB or mid-market scale, you're cross-subsidising sales motions you don't use. Brix is $6/screen/month billed annually ($8 month to month), public, no minimums.
These vendors all push proprietary hardware. Does Brix?
No. Brix runs on the $99 Amazon Signage Stick, Android TV, Windows PCs and ChromeOS, and on a Raspberry Pi as a browser player. Order a stick from Amazon today and pair it tomorrow. No procurement workflow, no AV-channel partner discount required, no replacement waitlist.
What about SOC 2 / FedRAMP / vendor risk paperwork?
Brix has security controls in place; SOC 2 attestation is on the roadmap, not in hand today. If your procurement requires SOC 2 plus HECVAT plus FedRAMP, the AV-channel vendors have those — that's a legitimate enterprise-fit reason to stay with them. For most operators those forms are over-spec for the need.
We're mid-contract with Stratacache / Navori / FWI. Can we still switch?
Yes — most operators run Brix in parallel for a few months and cut over per-location or per-screen. No big-bang migration required. On monthly billing ($8/screen) there's no contract risk to starting early.
Free migration?
Yes — send us your existing media library and screen list, regardless of which vendor you're leaving. We rebuild your channels, playlists, and schedules for free, including multi-zone layouts. Most migrations live the same day.
Will Brix scale to 500+ screens like Scala or Stratacache?
Yes — Brix has no upper limit on screen count. Bulk push, screen tagging, and group management have no screen-count cap. The difference is you're not paying $30-$80/screen for the privilege.
Stop quoting enterprise RFPs. Start at $6.
Operators leaving Visix, Spinetix, Scala, Stratacache, Navori, and FWI move to Brix every week. The migration help is free. There is one plan and one price.
