PosterBooking is a NoviSign alternative for businesses that want to manage their screens at a lower subscription cost. As of October 2026, you can run 10 screens on Home Basic for $52 per month. NoviSign Business costs $140 per month equivalent for the same screen count on annual billing.
You can also start with up to 10 free screens on PosterBooking before choosing a paid plan. When your network grows, our $520-per-month Business Pro subscription gives you unlimited screens.
The price difference is clear, but your day-to-day workflow matters too. NoviSign offers tools such as Studio AI for creating screen designs through conversation. Below, you can compare the costs and capabilities that affect your decision.
Why Consider PosterBooking as Your NoviSign Alternative?
PosterBooking gives you a way to reduce software subscription costs without giving up remote screen management. You can publish content through our dashboard instead of visiting each display to replace a USB stick.
You have three reasons to consider PosterBooking:
- A free starting point. You can try up to 10 screens without entering a credit card. Free screens continue with a watermark after the three-month full-feature trial.
- Lower published costs at the screen counts compared below. You can see the total for your network, rather than comparing a single-screen price with a multi-screen bundle.
- Fixed pricing for expansion. Business Pro at $520 gives you unlimited screens for one monthly subscription.
Our setup guide explains the free account and publishing workflow. Our pricing page details the paid plans.
That combination is worth considering when you already have content ready to display and want to keep the cost of adding screens under control. The next step is to put a figure against the network you actually need.
Pricing: What Will You Pay for Your Screen Network?
PosterBooking has a lower published software subscription cost than NoviSign Business at each of the five screen counts in this comparison. The figures below use October 2026 list prices.
PosterBooking plans
You can choose a free account, a 10-screen paid plan or an unlimited-screen subscription. Our published paid plans are:
- Home Basic: $52 per month for 10 screens. Each additional screen costs $6.49 per month.
- Business Pro: $520 per month for unlimited screens. White-label features are included.
- Enterprise Plus: $830 per month. This includes the Pro features, with additional enterprise provisions.
You can keep using up to 10 free screens with a watermark after the three-month full-feature trial. Home Basic gives you a paid option when you want watermark-free playback.
NoviSign plans
NoviSign charges per screen on its standard subscriptions. As of October 2026, its annual-billing rates are:
- Business: $14 per screen per month.
- Business Plus: $17 per screen per month.
- Premium: $25 per screen per month.
These are monthly equivalents billed annually. At 10 screens, Business costs $1,680 for the year, expressed as $140 per month.
NoviSign also lists a custom-priced Partners offering for resellers. We explain that offering in the white-label section below.
Compare the cost for the same number of screens
You can see PosterBooking’s price advantage more clearly when both subscriptions cover the same screen count.
| Your screens | PosterBooking monthly total | NoviSign Business monthly equivalent | Your monthly cost difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $52.00 | $140.00 | $88.00 less |
| 25 | $149.35 | $350.00 | $200.65 less |
| 50 | $311.60 | $700.00 | $388.40 less |
| 100 | $520.00 | $1,400.00 | $880.00 less |
| 200 | $520.00 | $2,800.00 | $2,280.00 less |
The PosterBooking figures use Home Basic for 10, 25 and 50 screens. Above 10 screens, the calculation is $52 plus $6.49 for each extra screen. The 100-screen and 200-screen figures use Business Pro.
NoviSign figures use Business at $14 per screen per month on annual billing. PosterBooking’s listed subscriptions are billed monthly.
The table compares published software subscription costs, not identical feature packages. Taxes, hardware, optional services and negotiated discounts are excluded.
What happens when you add more screens?
Business Pro’s effective cost per screen falls as you expand because the subscription stays at $520 per month. Here is what that means at two network sizes:
- 100 screens: $5.20 per screen per month.
- 200 screens: $2.60 per screen per month.
You are spreading the same subscription across more displays. That gives you a fixed software cost to plan around when you equip another location.
Of course, the subscription still needs to cover your work. Here is how the main features fit into your daily routine.
Features: How Will You Create and Manage Content?
Both platforms let you manage screen content remotely. The practical differences include where you create your designs and which plan includes the tools you need.
Content creation: upload your artwork or use Studio AI
With PosterBooking, you can publish finished content through our dashboard. Our setup guide takes you through connecting a screen before adding content.
Already have an approved menu image or promotional video? You can bring that asset into your signage workflow without recreating it in another editor.
This suits you when your business already has a design process. You keep creating your artwork through that process, then use PosterBooking to put it on your screens.
NoviSign offers content creation inside its online Studio. NoviSign says Studio AI can create complete screen designs in seconds from a prompt, then refine them through conversation. Its Studio AI guide describes a conversational workflow with four stages:
- Describe the screen you want.
- Review the generated design.
- Ask for changes through follow-up prompts.
- Preview the result before publishing.
For example, you can request a promotional layout, then ask for a larger heading. You can also switch to manual editing to refine the design yourself.
As of October 2026, NoviSign lists Studio AI under Business Plus. You can assess its value by asking whether your team would use that editor regularly or continue working with finished artwork.
Scheduling: plan what appears and when
You can schedule playlists with both platforms. PosterBooking includes scheduled playlists from Home Basic. NoviSign documents time-based scheduling in its software guide.
For a restaurant, that means you can evaluate a familiar task, such as changing the displayed menu between breakfast and lunch.
You can try that task with your own content during your evaluation. You will get a more useful view of the workflow than a general claim that one interface is easier.
Storage: compare the current allowances
NoviSign lists unlimited storage across its standard plans as of October 2026. Our Business Pro plan also lists unlimited storage.
As of October 2026, NoviSign’s current pricing comparison displays “Unlimited” for maximum file size. However, its upload-management guide describes license-based caps for uploads.
“Accounts with five or more licenses are capped at a maximum file upload size of 500MB. Any file exceeding the account’s upload limit will fail to upload.”
Because those documents differ, you may confirm your account’s applicable allowance before moving large video files. The older caps are not presented here as universal restrictions on current NoviSign subscriptions.
White-labeling: offer signage under your own brand
Both providers offer white-label options when you want to sell signage services to clients. The offering you choose should match how you want to manage those accounts.
PosterBooking’s Business Pro plan lists white-label features, including a branded dashboard. Our white-label service page describes branding options for resellers.
NoviSign’s Partner program has custom pricing. It documents three reseller capabilities:
- Apply your branding on your own domain.
- Manage customer users and licenses.
- Set your own customer prices.
You can therefore consider either provider for a branded signage service. You can compare the actual reseller setup you need alongside the subscription cost.
Hardware: Can You Use the Devices You Already Own?
You can use existing supported hardware with PosterBooking. That gives you a way to evaluate the software before replacing working equipment.
Our supported hardware includes:
- Amazon Signage Stick.
- Amazon Signage Display.
- Amazon Fire TV Stick.
- Android TV devices.
- Windows PCs.
- Raspberry Pi.
- MacOS.
- Linux.
- LG webOS.
Our setup guide also explains browser-based playback. These are examples of supported options rather than a complete inventory.
NoviSign supports a broad hardware selection too. As of October 2026, its software documentation lists eight major platforms:
- Amazon Signage Stick.
- Android.
- Windows.
- ChromeOS.
- BrightSign.
- Samsung Tizen.
- LG webOS.
- Linux.
Its getting-started guide also describes a browser-based WPlayer. Amazon Signage Stick is supported by both providers. If you already own one, you have a shared starting point for comparing the platforms.
Ensure you test your exact player model with the content you intend to show. That helps you identify playback requirements before you commit to a wider rollout.
Support: What Help Comes With Your Plan?
Your support provision depends on the subscription you choose. Check the help available with that plan, especially when screens run outside your normal working hours.
With PosterBooking Enterprise Plus, our pricing page lists 24/7 unlimited support. You can consider that provision when round-the-clock assistance is part of your requirements.
NoviSign’s support page provides an email contact and self-service guidance. Its pricing page lists setup assistance and training. Premium includes a dedicated account manager.
You can compare those provisions against how your business operates. A listed contact channel alone does not establish a guaranteed resolution time.
How to Get Started With PosterBooking
To try PosterBooking with your own setup, start with one compatible screen. You can evaluate the workflow before moving the rest of your network.
Follow these five steps:
- Create your free account. You do not need a credit card to get started.
- Connect one supported device. Follow our setup guide to pair your screen.
- Upload an existing image or video. Use content your business already displays so you have a familiar starting point.
- Try a routine update. Ask the person who will manage your screens to publish a replacement.
- Choose a plan for your screen count. Compare the free account, Home Basic and Business Pro against your requirements.
You do not need to move every screen at once. Start by confirming that your content plays as expected, then use that experience to plan the next stage.
Create your free PosterBooking account
Up to 10 screens free. No credit card required. Free screens continue with a watermark after the three-month full-feature trial.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PosterBooking a cheaper NoviSign alternative?
Yes, for the five matching screen counts calculated in this guide, PosterBooking has a lower subscription cost than NoviSign Business as of October 2026. The pricing table covers networks from 10 to 200 screens.
Your final comparison should include the features you need. The figures are published subscription calculations, rather than quotes for identical packages.
Do you need Business Pro to use PosterBooking?
No. You can start with a free account or choose Home Basic for 10 paid screens. Business Pro gives you an unlimited-screen subscription when that model fits your network.
You can use the pricing table above to compare the options at the screen counts shown.
Does a lower subscription price mean the platforms have identical features?
No. The two platforms offer different feature packages. NoviSign Studio AI is one example of a tool to consider alongside subscription cost.
You should compare the functions your team will use. That helps you decide whether a particular feature changes the value of the subscription for your business.
Can you keep using PosterBooking after the free trial?
Yes. You can keep using up to 10 free screens with a watermark after the three-month full-feature trial. However, a paid plan removes the watermark.
NoviSign advertises a 30-day trial, after which you select a subscription, as explained in its player documentation.
