What common screen counts look like

Compare first-year digital signage ownership cost
Per-screen subscription prices are only one input. Build an all-in decision from display hardware, player hardware, CMS licenses, integrations, installation, support and staff maintenance.
Important: The amounts below are illustrative math, not actual advertised offers. Use official vendor links and a written quote for current rates, free-tier eligibility, annual commitments and any one-time setup cost.
Illustrative subscription-only scenarios
| Example license rate | 1 screen / year | 5 screens / year | 10 screens / year |
|---|---|---|---|
| $8 per screen / month | $96 | $480 | $960 |
| $12 per screen / month | $144 | $720 | $1,440 |
| $20 per screen / month | $240 | $1,200 | $2,400 |
Add the overlooked expenses
Ask for screen mounts, media player replacement, setup labor, connectivity, content production, POS or data integrations, escalation support, and renewal rates. A free-screen plan may have device, brand or feature conditions that make it unsuitable for commercial rollout.
Make quotes comparable
Normalize all quotes to the same number of screens and 12-month term. Clearly label if the price is billed annually, whether free screens reduce the paid count, and whether multi-location management or API integration requires higher tiers. Document the source and date for every assumption.
Pricing review checklist
- Get a written 1/5/10-screen quote with current billing terms.
- Record the paid-versus-free screen rule separately for each vendor.
- Include hardware, installation, connectivity and staff maintenance costs.
- Model renewal and cancellation, not only the introductory rate.
