Talk to a real humanWhat Rise Vision gets right. And where the math breaks.
What Rise Vision gets right
Rise Vision has a real focus on K-12 — the template library leans hard into school-friendly designs, the CAP emergency-alerts integration is best-in-class for districts, and the AI credit system is a thoughtful answer to teachers who can't run their own Canva account. The 1-business-hour SLA is genuinely tight for the price point.
If you're a school district running comms across cafeterias, hallways, and gyms with a small IT team — Rise Vision's vertical focus is a real advantage.
Where the pricing math breaks
Rise Vision publishes Basic at $119/year ($9.92/screen/month annually), Advanced at $138/year ($11.50/screen/month), and Enterprise at $164/year ($13.67/screen/month, annual-only). Add-ons stack on top: $1,200/display/year for interactive templates, $300 per 600 AI credits per year.
A 10-screen deployment on Advanced is $1,380/year. Same deployment on Brix is $720/year — a $660/year gap. On Enterprise that gap widens to $920/year, and that's before any interactive or AI credit add-ons.
The AI credit system in particular ratchets up — 10 credits on Basic, 15 on Advanced, 30 on Enterprise. If you actually use AI for content creation, you're either jumping tiers or buying $300 credit packs.
When Rise Vision is the right choice
Rise Vision is the right call for a K-12 district that needs CAP emergency alerts, a designed-for-schools template library, and a procurement-friendly annual contract. If your stakeholder is a Director of Communications at a 30-school district, Rise Vision's vertical positioning is going to feel right — and the support team understands the use case.
For SMBs running menus, gyms, salons, churches, or distributed retail — Brix is purpose-built for that 80%, at less than half the price.
Real questions. Real answers.
We're a school district. Is Brix really an option?
Yes. Brix runs in schools, churches, and after-school programs across the US. What you give up: the K-12-themed template library and Rise's CAP integration. What you get: every feature on the base plan, free custom apps on request, and ~50% lower TCO.
Does Brix have CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) integration?
Manual override yes, native CAP no. If your district mandates CAP, Rise Vision is genuinely the better fit today. We have CAP on the roadmap; talk to us about timing if it's a hard requirement.
What about AI credits?
Brix doesn't run a credit system. Custom apps on request are built free with Claude Code — if you need a specific generative-content workflow, we'll build it for you, no credit pack required.
Can we keep our existing Rise hardware?
Almost always yes. Brix runs on Windows, Android TV, Tizen, WebOS, and Raspberry Pi. If you're on Rise Vision Media Players (Linux), reach out — we'll confirm compatibility.
Free migration?
Yes. Send us your Rise export and screen list — we rebuild your presentations and schedules for free. Most migrations live the same day, regardless of plan or screen count.
Stop paying for tiers. Start at $6.
Rise Vision customers move to Brix every week. The migration is free. The price is flat. The features are all included.
