7-day free trial · No credit card required · Live in under 2 minutes
Mvix locks you into their hardware. Brix runs on a $99 stick from Amazon.
$99 stick vs $450 hardware lock-in
Mvix sells the software 'free' on the back of $450-$750 proprietary players you can't replace, swap, or repurpose. Brix runs on a $99 Amazon Signage Stick — order today, set up tomorrow, swap any time without losing your fleet.
Pay-as-you-go beats one-time-and-trapped
Mvix's perpetual license sounds great until a player dies in year three and the only replacement is another Mvix-branded device at full price. Brix is $6/screen/month, month-to-month — flex up, flex down, no penalty.
Select Suite is where the money lives
FIDS displays, video walls, POS integrations — all in the Mvix Select Suite, all priced per account, all behind a sales conversation. Brix bundles the equivalent in the base $6/screen plan. No add-on quotes.
No pricing pages. No problem.
Mvix routes everyone through "contact sales." That's a tell — they're sizing the quote based on who you are, not the value of the product.

Talk to a real humanWhat Mvix gets right. And where the math breaks.
What Mvix gets right
Mvix has been doing this for two decades — they're a serious AV-channel player with real hardware engineering chops. The 1,000+ template library is genuinely deep, the 50+ language support is best-in-class for global rollouts, and the Signature 360 program (lifetime warranties, free device replacements every 3 years) is a thoughtful answer to enterprise hardware lifecycle anxiety.
If you're a hospital network, government agency, or transit authority that needs FIDS displays, mass-procurement-friendly contracts, and a vendor with channel partner relationships at NEC and LG — Mvix is built for that exact buyer.
Where the pricing math breaks
Mvix publishes hardware tiers — Core $450, Standard $550, Pro $750 — with the cloud CMS license included perpetually. That sounds great until you map it across a real deployment.
A 10-screen Core deployment is $4,500 in upfront hardware vs Brix at $990 (10 × $99 sticks) plus $720/year subscription. Year one Mvix is $4,500, Brix is $1,710 — Brix saves $2,790. Year two: Mvix $0 (already paid), Brix $720. Net over 3 years: Mvix $4,500, Brix $3,150.
But that math assumes hardware doesn't fail and Select Suite add-ons aren't needed. In practice, FIDS, POS integrations, and video walls all sit in Select Suite at custom pricing — Mvix gets paid quarterly on those. The 'free CMS' framing only works if you stick to the entry feature set forever.
When Mvix is the right choice
Mvix is the right call when you're a hospital network, government agency, or transit operator that needs FIDS displays, mandatory perpetual-license accounting, channel-partner discounts on NEC/LG panels, and a procurement team that wants quarterly recurring fees off the books.
For SMBs, restaurants, gyms, retail, salons, and corporate-comms shops that just want screens up and looking good — Brix at $6/month with no upfront capital outlay and no proprietary hardware is the right shape.
Real questions. Real answers.
Mvix is one-time pricing — isn't that cheaper long-term?
Only if you ignore hardware refresh cycles, Select Suite add-ons, and your time. A $450 player at year three with a dead PSU is $450 again. Brix on a $99 stick: replace it, pair the new one, done — no purchase order. Long-term TCO usually flips toward Brix once you account for failures and feature creep.
Can Brix run on Mvix's existing players?
Almost never — Mvix locks their devices to their CMS. That's actually the whole point of switching. Brix runs on the $99 Amazon Signage Stick, $99 Android TV boxes, Windows PCs, Tizen, WebOS, Raspberry Pi — anything with HDMI.
Does Brix support FIDS / video walls / POS like Mvix Select Suite?
Multi-zone yes (native), POS via API integration, video wall sync via the same hardware Mvix uses. FIDS-style flight-information layouts are buildable on Brix today. If you have a specific Select Suite app you need replicated — we'll build it custom, free, on the base plan.
We're mid-deployment with Mvix. Can we still switch?
Yes — most operators run Brix in parallel for a few months and cut over per-screen. You keep your Mvix players running on the screens that work, swap to Brix sticks on the screens you'd be replacing anyway. No big-bang cutover required.
What about the lifetime warranty on Mvix players?
That warranty is on hardware most operators replace voluntarily inside 3 years anyway — newer codecs, faster Wi-Fi, better HDR. Brix's $99 stick is cheap enough to refresh on your schedule, not the vendor's product roadmap.
Stop paying for tiers. Start at $6.
Mvix customers move to Brix every week. The migration is free. The price is flat. The features are all included.
