A ScreenCloud alternative at a fraction of the price

The gap, in plain numbers

ScreenCloud's pricing page publishes two tiers, both billed per screen: Core from $20 per screen per month and Pro from $30 per screen per month, as published on annual billing and checked November 2026. The page carries a monthly option as well, and says its free device and discount are not included on the monthly plan, checked November 2026; it doesn't print a monthly figure beside the annual one, so the numbers above are the annual ones. Enterprise sits above both, billed annually and quoted by ScreenCloud's sales team rather than published, checked November 2026. ScreenCloud offers a 14-day Studio free trial, no credit card required, checked November 2026. There's no free tier listed on its pricing page.

What we charge instead

Starter is $4.99 per player per month. It runs in your web browser on a PC you already own, with cloud content management, scheduling and playlists, billed monthly. Email support replies in 3 to 5 business days.

Basic is $14.99 per player per month, or $161.89 per player per year. It covers 25 or more media types, scheduling and playlists, and remote monitoring that tells you whether a player is up or down, with phone support during business hours alongside email, best effort. Monthly or annual, your choice.

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, a content-approval workflow, 2 layout designs a year, and priority support where a person responds the same day or the next business day. Pro is our most expensive published plan, and it still comes in under ScreenCloud's published Pro figure of $30 per screen per month.

Enterprise and Enterprise Plus are quote only here, the same way ScreenCloud's Enterprise is. 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.

At a glance

Where ScreenCloud may suit you better

ScreenCloud publishes its Core and Pro prices on annual billing, and its annual plans come with a free device or a discount that the monthly plan doesn't include, per its own pricing page, checked November 2026. If you were committing for a year anyway and want the hardware folded in, that is a real advantage we don't match. If your organization needs whatever ScreenCloud's Enterprise tier covers at that scale, a sales-quoted plan with a dedicated contact may suit a large deployment better than a self-serve monthly plan like ours.

Our side of it

The gap at the entry point is real: Starter at $4.99 per player per month is a small fraction of ScreenCloud's published $20-per-screen Core figure. Basic and Pro are available month to month as well as annually, and Starter is monthly only, so you can start without a year-long commitment. We bill per player rather than per screen, the device or app that plays your content, which changes the arithmetic as soon as one player drives more than one screen. Our 14-day trial needs no credit card, the same as ScreenCloud's. Both companies publish numbers for the self-serve tiers and quote the top one, so the difference there is the size of the number, not who shows their prices.

How switching from ScreenCloud works

Start by gathering 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 rebuild your playlists and schedules in the new account while your ScreenCloud screens stay live. Set up one player against the new Adaptive account first, confirm it's showing what you expect, then move the rest over screen by screen rather than all at once. We don't run an automated import tool or a migration service for ScreenCloud accounts, so budget time to recreate playlists by hand, and check where you are in your ScreenCloud annual term before you cancel anything.
