What we charge instead
Starter is $4.99 per player per month. That is about half of OptiSigns' Standard tier, which is $10.00 per screen per month, or $9.00 if you pay annually. It runs in your web browser on a PC you already own, with cloud content management, scheduling and playlists, and email support that replies in 3 to 5 business days. Starter is billed monthly only.
Basic is $14.99 per player per month, or $161.89 per player per year. This is the tier OptiSigns' Standard plan undercuts. It covers 25 or more media types, scheduling and playlists, remote monitoring that tells you whether a player is up or down, and phone support during business hours alongside email, best effort.
Pro is $24.99 per player per month, or $269.89 per player per year. Everything in Basic, plus proof-of-play, impressions and screen-uptime reports, the Media Store included rather than as an add-on, a content-approval workflow, 2 layout designs a year, and priority support where a person responds the same day or the next business day.
Enterprise and Enterprise Plus are quote only on our side, the way OptiSigns' Enterprise is a sales conversation. Enterprise covers Live TV and IPTV, multi-zone layouts and video walls, MFA and SSO, and 4 layout designs a year. Enterprise Plus adds custom layout and graphic design, logo generation and AI-generated content.
Where OptiSigns may suit you better
OptiSigns' Standard plan at $10.00 per screen per month ($9.00 billed annually) sits under our Basic at $14.99 per player per month, so if Basic-level features are more than you need right now, and showing the OptiSigns logo on a free screen or two isn't a dealbreaker while you test things out, OptiSigns is the cheaper route into a small paid deployment. Its tiers also step up in finer increments, Standard, Pro, then Pro Plus, than ours do, which can suit a business that wants to add features gradually instead of jumping a full tier at once.
Our side of it
Where we come in under OptiSigns is the entry point: Starter at $4.99 per player per month is about half of OptiSigns' cheapest paid tier at $10.00 per screen per month, or $9.00 annually, and it runs in your browser on a PC you already own. Both companies run their software on ordinary player hardware you can supply yourself, so that part is a wash; what differs is the price and the unit it's counted in. We bill per player, the device or app that plays your content, not per screen, which changes the arithmetic as soon as one player drives more than one screen. Our 14-day trial needs no card, the same as OptiSigns'. And if a single PC with no cloud account at all is genuinely all you need, Adaptive Solo is $29.99 one time for one Windows or Ubuntu PC, with no subscription.
How switching from OptiSigns works in practice
Start by pulling together your own copies of the images and videos your screens are showing now. Sign up for our 14-day trial, no credit card required, and set up the same playlists and schedules in the new account while your OptiSigns screens keep running. Once a player is set up and tested, point it at your new Adaptive account and confirm it's showing what you expect before you cancel OptiSigns on that screen. We don't have an automated import tool for OptiSigns accounts, so plan on rebuilding playlists by hand rather than a one-click migration.
Frequently asked questions
Does OptiSigns have a free plan?
Yes. OptiSigns' free plan covers up to 3 supported screen types, but it shows the OptiSigns logo on your screens (OptiSigns pricing page, checked November 2026). We don't have a free tier; our cheapest plan is Starter at $4.99 per player per month.
Is OptiSigns cheaper than Adaptive Digital Signs?
It depends which plans you're comparing. OptiSigns' Standard is $10.00 per screen per month (its pricing page, checked November 2026), above our Starter at $4.99 per player per month but below our Basic at $14.99 per player per month.
Does the free OptiSigns plan show a logo or ads on my screens?
OptiSigns' own pricing page says the free plan keeps the OptiSigns logo visible on your screens, checked November 2026. We don't publish a free tier at all, so the closest thing on our side is the 14-day trial with no credit card.
Can I use a PC I already own?
On our Starter plan, yes, it runs in your web browser on a Windows or Ubuntu PC you already have. OptiSigns runs on ordinary player devices too, Android, Windows, Linux or Raspberry Pi per its own pricing page, checked November 2026, so the difference here is the price, not the hardware.
