The Yodeck alternative that bills per player

What Yodeck charges, straight from its own pricing page

Yodeck offers a free plan for a single screen, no card needed, plus three paid tiers billed per screen: Basic at $8 per screen per month, Premium at $12, and Enterprise at $16, checked November 2026. Billing annually shows the same monthly figures and bundles a Yodeck player with the plan. Above Enterprise sits an Enterprise+ tier that Yodeck quotes by sales call rather than publishing a number. Yodeck also publishes an opening offer of 30 days of full feature access on up to 5 screens, no credit card required, checked November 2026, which is longer and wider than our own trial.

What we charge instead

Starter is $4.99 per player per month. It runs in a browser on a PC you already own, no dedicated player box required, with cloud content management, scheduling and playlists. Support is by email, with a reply in 3 to 5 business days.

Basic is $14.99 per player per month, or $161.89 per player per year. It adds 25 or more supported media types, remote monitoring that shows whether each player is up or down, and general phone support during business hours on top of email, best effort.

Pro is $24.99 per player per month, or $269.89 per player per year. It adds proof-of-play and impressions reporting, screen-uptime reports, the Media Store, a content-approval workflow and two new layout designs a year, with priority support that answers the same day or the next business day.

Enterprise and Enterprise Plus are quoted to fit, the same way Yodeck's Enterprise+ is. Enterprise adds live TV and IPTV feeds, multi-zone layouts and video walls, plus multi-factor authentication and single sign-on. Enterprise Plus adds custom layout and graphic design work, logo generation and AI-generated content.

At a glance

Where the two prices actually land

Line the cheapest paid plans up side by side and Yodeck wins on sticker price: $8 per screen per month for Basic, against $14.99 per player per month for our Basic. Yodeck's free plan is also a genuine free tier for one screen, something we don't offer at all. If your whole job is one lobby screen running simple slides, and you don't need remote up-or-down monitoring or phone support, Yodeck's free plan or its $8 Basic plan is honestly the cheaper way to run it. We'd rather say that plainly than pretend our numbers win everywhere.

Where we tend to come out ahead is the entry point underneath that comparison: Starter at $4.99 per player per month is cheaper than Yodeck's lowest paid tier, because it runs on hardware you already own instead of a dedicated player. We also bill per player, the device or app actually playing content, not per screen, which matters once a single player is driving more than one screen or a small video wall. Our trial runs 14 days with no credit card. Yodeck's opening window is 30 days on up to 5 screens, so that one goes in its column, not ours.

Where Yodeck may suit you better

If you're running several screens and don't need remote monitoring, an approval workflow, or US business-hours phone support, Yodeck's per-screen pricing can beat ours past a certain screen count, and its $0 single-screen plan is real, not a time-limited trial. Yodeck also bundles its own player hardware into annual billing, worth pricing out if you were buying a player anyway. We're not going to claim our numbers win in every case, because they don't.

How switching from Yodeck actually works

Moving off Yodeck is mostly a content job, not a technical one. Start by gathering your own copies of the images and videos your screens are showing now, from wherever you made them. Then sign up for our 14-day trial, no credit card required, and rebuild your playlists and schedules in the new account while your Yodeck screens keep running as normal. When a screen is ready, point its player at your new Adaptive account and test it before you cancel Yodeck on that screen. We don't run an automated import tool or a migration service for Yodeck accounts, so plan on recreating playlists by hand. For most small signage setups that's an afternoon, not a project.
