Why pay $200 per month for 10 digital signage screens when you could manage the same number for $52? That's the pricing difference between ScreenCloud Core and PosterBooking Home Basic.
And the savings get even bigger as your network grows. At 200 screens, ScreenCloud Core costs $4,000 per month equivalent on annual billing, while PosterBooking Business Pro costs just $520 for unlimited screens. That's a potential $41,760 in annual software savings.
However, ScreenCloud offers 80+ apps and integrations, secure dashboards, and advanced device management on applicable plans.
In this comparison, we'll examine pricing, features, hardware compatibility, and scalability to help you choose the best digital signage software in 2027.
PosterBooking lets you run 10 paid screens for $52 per month, compared with $200 per month equivalent for ScreenCloud Studio Core on annual billing. That gives you a $148 monthly subscription difference for the same number of displays.
For businesses expanding beyond one location, the advantage grows. Our $520-per-month Business Pro subscription includes unlimited screens. At 100 screens, ScreenCloud Core’s published annual rate comes to $2,000 per month equivalent.
You can use PosterBooking to manage content remotely and schedule playback on Home Basic and above. This guide compares the pricing and features, including the workplace dashboard capabilities in ScreenCloud’s higher tiers.

ScreenCloud vs. PosterBooking: What You Pay
PosterBooking’s monthly total cost is way lower than ScreenCloud Studio Core’s annual-billing equivalent at each screen count shown here. Both columns cover the same number of displays.
ScreenCloud Studio pricing
As of November 2026, ScreenCloud lists three Studio offers:
- Core: $20 per screen per month equivalent, billed annually.
- Pro: $30 per screen per month equivalent, billed annually.
- Enterprise: Custom pricing.
ScreenCloud advertises a 14-day Studio trial. It also presents Arc as a separate solution, so the Studio figures below do not describe a quoted Arc deployment.
PosterBooking subscriptions
PosterBooking plans includes:
- Home Basic: $52 per month covering 10 screens, plus $6.49 per additional screen.
- Business Pro: $520 per month for unlimited screens, including white-label features.
- Enterprise Plus: $830 per month, with Pro features and additional enterprise provisions.
Home Basic supplies the smaller-network examples. Business Pro gives the lower total for the two larger networks in the table.
Monthly totals at matching screen counts
| Screens | PosterBooking / month | ScreenCloud Core / month equivalent | Monthly subscription difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $52.00 | $200.00 | $148.00 less |
| 25 | $149.35 | $500.00 | $350.65 less |
| 50 | $311.60 | $1,000.00 | $688.40 less |
| 100 | $520.00 | $2,000.00 | $1,480.00 less |
| 200 | $520.00 | $4,000.00 | $3,480.00 less |
*Pricing last checked on 2 November 2026.
PosterBooking uses Home Basic at 10, 25 and 50 screens, calculated as $52 plus $6.49 for each display above 10. The 100-screen and 200-screen totals use Business Pro. Our subscriptions are monthly. ScreenCloud totals use Studio Core’s annual-billing rate for each screen.
These are software subscription calculations for different feature packages. Taxes, hardware, optional services and negotiated discounts are excluded. ScreenCloud device deals, Pro dashboards and Arc are outside these Core totals.
For 10 screens, 12 monthly Home Basic payments total $624. ScreenCloud Core’s annual subscription totals $2,400 at its headline rate. That is a $1,776 annualised difference before the excluded costs.
Business Pro keeps expansion predictable
PosterBooking Pro subscription stays at $520 per month when you expand from 100 to 200 screens. The effective rate changes from $5.20 to $2.60 per screen because the same subscription covers more displays.
For a business adding screens across offices, that gives you one software figure to carry into the next site’s budget. Equipment and installation remain separate costs, but each extra Pro screen does not add a software licence charge.
Where PosterBooking Delivers More Value
PosterBooking gives you a lower subscription bill for the networks compared below, with a fixed-price option as you expand. You can put prepared announcements onto your displays without paying a standard per-screen subscription for every additional Business Pro screen.
There are three reasons to choose our approach:
- Launch without a subscription payment. Start with up to 10 free screens and no credit card. Free screens continue with a watermark after the three-month full-feature trial.
- Keep a smaller paid network affordable. Home Basic includes 10 screens for $52 per month.
- Budget for growth with one Pro price. Business Pro covers unlimited screens for $520 per month.
You don’t need to buy the largest plan to get started. The paid 10-screen package provides a route between the free account and the unlimited subscription.
Publishing Announcements and Promotional Content
PosterBooking gives you a dashboard for distributing the images and videos your team wants to display. You can publish completed assets from your existing design process without rebuilding them in another editor.
For a reception display, that can be the approved visitor welcome image. For a staff area, it can be the weekly announcement supplied by your communications team.
Home Basic includes scheduled playlists. You can organise when those messages appear, instead of asking someone at each site to load a fresh file at the right time.
ScreenCloud provides its own Studio publishing workflow, including scheduling. The price advantage above therefore compares two services that both support remote screen content, while their additional capabilities differ.
A feature comparison for your workplace
| Requirement | PosterBooking | ScreenCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Remote content management | Dashboard publishing | Studio publishing |
| Ongoing free screens | Up to 10* | 14-day Studio trial |
| Scheduled playback | Home Basic and above | Studio scheduling |
| Authenticated dashboards | Integration-specific assessment | Pro dashboards |
| Automatic startup | Supported configurations | Supported configurations |
| Branded service route | Pro features and service | Partner programme |
| Unlimited-screen package | Business Pro, $520/month | Published per-screen tiers |
Free PosterBooking screens display a watermark after the three-month full-feature trial. Each row identifies the relevant offer, rather than identical functionality across all plans.
ScreenCloud’s dashboard offering
ScreenCloud Pro includes dashboards for displaying information from sources behind a login. That is a defined capability for workplaces that need live operational information on their screens.
A protected dashboard involves authentication and refresh behaviour, so it is a different requirement from uploading a finished chart image. Include the Pro rate when that dashboard connection is part of your specification.
For screens carrying prepared announcements, PosterBooking’s upload workflow gives you the direct publishing route at the lower totals above. You can keep the design process your team already uses.
Hardware: Keep Compatible Equipment
PosterBooking supports existing player options, including Amazon Signage Stick and Android devices. Our setup guide explains the device-specific installation route.
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.
ScreenCloud supports multiple player types too. Its startup documentation covers ScreenCloud OS and PIXI, with instructions for other supported operating systems.
Those include Android, Fire OS, Windows and macOS. Supported commercial LG webOS and Samsung Tizen displays have their own guidance as well.
Both providers document automatic startup on applicable setups. Check the exact device and its configuration before repeating the installation across your network, particularly for displays that power down overnight.
Branding and Support Options
Business Pro includes white-label features and a branded dashboard. Our white-label service provides a route for businesses offering signage under their own branding.
ScreenCloud has an official partner programme. Full white-label rights depend on the relevant arrangement, so reseller status alone does not settle the scope of a branded service.
Support also has a defined scope. ScreenCloud’s pricing page lists 24/7 AI assistance and 24/5 human support. PosterBooking Enterprise Plus lists 24/7 unlimited support.
You can include that Enterprise Plus entitlement when assistance throughout the week is part of your purchase. The named plan determines the service provision.
Put PosterBooking on Your First Screen
To start your PosterBooking setup, register for free and connect a supported player. The publishing process has three stages:
- Create your account. No credit card is required.
- Pair your device. Follow our setup instructions for its operating system.
- Publish your content. Upload the image or video you want the display to show.
You can connect up to 10 screens. Once you want watermark-free playback, Home Basic gives you the paid 10-screen option. Business Pro supplies the fixed-price route for an expanding network.
