The best digital signage companies in 2026 fall into three groups: full-service providers that sell, install and run everything, software-only platforms, and hardware makers. We checked 16 companies against scope, published pricing, G2 ratings and scale. Our #1 is CrownTV. That's us, so the scoring is shown below. We rank first because we're the only company here that publishes installed per-screen prices covering the screen, install and software. If you only need software, Yodeck and OptiSigns are the strongest choices among the best digital signage companies.
Key Takeaways
- Decide your scope before you compare names. Most "digital signage companies" sell only software. If you don't already own commercial screens and an installer, you'll be buying three things from three vendors.
- Published pricing is now common for software. Yodeck, OptiSigns, ScreenCloud, Rise Vision and Kitcast all publish per-screen prices, from about $8 to $45 per screen per month. Enterprise platforms mostly still say "contact sales".
- G2 ratings cluster between 4.3 and 4.7. The difference that matters is review count. Yodeck (3,310) and OptiSigns (3,957) have far more than anyone else, while BrightSign has only 8.
- The market is consolidating. Raydiant's assets went to Displai in May 2025, Poppulo bought Reach Media Network in March 2025, and Samsung's MagicINFO 8 stopped getting security patches in October 2023. Check that your vendor will still exist in three years.
- Hard results are rare. Only a handful of the 16 publish a measured customer outcome, such as Korbyt's 177.5% screen-exposure gain at Notre Dame. Ask every vendor for a reference you can call.
What a digital signage company actually is (and what it is not)
A digital signage company helps you put managed content on screens in public or shared spaces: store windows, menu boards, lobbies, waiting rooms, break rooms and factory floors. Every working network has four layers. First, the commercial display. Second, the media player or system-on-chip that plays the content. Third, the content management software, usually cloud-based, where you build playlists and schedules. Fourth, the people who install the screens, keep them online and fix them when they fail.
If you need market numbers for a business case, our page of sourced digital signage statistics has them in one place.
Companies in this market cover different slices of that stack. Software platforms like Yodeck, OptiSigns and ScreenCloud cover the third layer, and sometimes sell a player. Hardware makers like BrightSign and Samsung cover the first two, and Samsung adds its own cloud software, VXT. Full-service providers like CrownTV cover all four, so one company is accountable when a screen in a store three states away goes dark.
What a digital signage company is not: it is not a display manufacturer's warranty line, it is not your marketing agency (most do not write ongoing content unless you pay for it), and it is not a one-time purchase. Software is a subscription on almost every platform, and the screens need replacing every several years. The cheapest-looking option is often software at $8 a screen running on a consumer TV that dies in its second year.
So the right company depends on what you already have. If you own commercial screens and have someone to manage content, a software platform is enough. If you're starting from blank walls or running 20+ locations, the install and support layers are where projects go over budget.

We checked 16 companies on November 8, 2026, using each company's own website and its G2 product page. Every figure below can be checked the same way. We scored five things:
- Scope under one contract (1 to 4 layers). Display, player, software and installation/support. The more layers one company owns, the fewer handoffs you manage.
- Published pricing. Whether a buyer can see the price without a sales call, and the per-screen number if so.
- G2 rating and review count. We note anything under 50 reviews as a thin sample and anything with no G2 profile as unrated.
- Published scale. Customers, screens or locations the company claims on its own site, so you know it has run networks your size.
- Free trial. Trial length in days, or a free plan, so you can test before you commit.
Raydiant was dropped because its brand is gone; its assets went to Displai in May 2025. Mvix, Navori, Appspace and Kitcast were reviewed but not ranked. They appear in the comparison table so you can see how they score.
The Best Digital Signage Companies in 2026
The list runs from full service to software to hardware. The first pick is our own company, and we have been specific about where it falls short. If you only need software, start at #2. If you need players or screens only, jump to #9 and #10.
1. CrownTV, best for businesses that want screens, install and software from one company
- Installed from $2,950 per screen
- 4.9★ on Google (267+ reviews)
- Founded 2012, New York
- 16,000+ screens running
CrownTV is a turnkey digital signage company. We supply the Samsung commercial display, mount it, connect a CrownTV media player, install it with licensed, insured crews and run the content software afterward. That's all four layers under one contract, and we publish installed prices for them on our pricing page.
Pricing is per screen and one-time: $3,150 for a 43″, $3,450 for a 55″ and $4,950 for a 75″, each including the 24/7-rated commercial panel, mount, player, installation and the first year of software. After year one, software is $20 per screen per month. Installation is typically 5–7 business days after the paid invoice.
We were founded in New York in 2012, have installed 10,000+ screens, and have 16,000+ screens running on our platform for 1,800+ operators. Named programs include Janie and Jack (115+ US stores plus a London flagship, synchronized), L'Occitane (150+ boutiques across the US and Canada with three permission tiers), Victoria's Secret on Fifth Avenue and CBD Kratom (55+ stores installed in under 10 days). We are an Authorized Samsung Reseller.
Our honest gaps: we have no G2 reviews yet (the profile there is unclaimed), and our Capterra listing has only 2 reviews, both 5.0. Our Google rating is 4.9 from 267+ reviews. We also don't offer a self-serve free trial. You start with a quote, not a sign-up form.
Retailers, restaurants, clinics and offices that are starting from blank walls or running 3+ locations and want one company accountable. It is also the easiest path if nobody on your team wants to manage installers.
Disclosure: CrownTV publishes this article. We scored ourselves on the same five criteria as everyone else and listed our gaps above.
2. Yodeck, best for low-cost software at large scale
- $8–$16 per screen per month
- G2 4.7★ (3,310 reviews)
- 65,000+ customers, 350,000+ screens
Yodeck is the value leader among software platforms. Pricing is published and low: a free plan for one screen, then Basic at $8, Premium at $12 and Enterprise at $16 per screen per month, with Enterprise+ through sales. The pricing page shows the same per-screen price for monthly and annual billing. There is a 30-day full-feature trial for up to 5 screens.
Its G2 rating is 4.7 from 3,310 reviews, the second-largest review sample on this list. Yodeck says it is trusted by 65,000+ companies running 350,000+ screens in 135+ countries, and its homepage shows logos including Adidas, Amazon, Delta, Walmart and McCain. The account interface is available in 15 languages beyond English, including French, German, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese.
Yodeck has operated since 2015, and its seller on G2 is Flipnode LLC. Vangelis Mihalopoulos is named as co-founder and CEO. Its case studies describe scale rather than results: a 34-outlet Domino's franchise in Greece was "up and running in a few hours", for example, but no sales outcome is published.
What you don't get is installation. Yodeck sells software and offers a player with annual plans, so the commercial screens, mounts and install crew are on you. For a single café that's fine. For 40 stores in five states, the install coordination becomes the real project.
Small and mid-size businesses that already own screens and want the lowest published price per screen. It is also a strong pick for large self-managed networks that have an in-house IT team.
3. OptiSigns, best for small businesses that want a free plan and lots of integrations
- $9–$40.50 per screen per month (annual)
- G2 4.7★ (3,957 reviews)
- Founded 2016, Houston
OptiSigns has the largest G2 sample of any company here: 4.7 from 3,957 reviews. It publishes five plans, priced per screen per month on monthly or annual billing. Standard costs $10 or $9, Pro $12.50 or $11.25, Pro Plus $15 or $13.50, Engage $30 or $27, and Enterprise $45 or $40.50 with a 25-screen minimum. There is a free plan for up to 3 screens and a 14-day trial with no credit card.
The company was founded in 2016 and is based at 7676 Hillmont Street in Houston. Henry Le is its co-founder and CEO. OptiSigns says it runs on 230,000+ online screens for 43,000+ organizations in 163 countries; one line on its about page still says "over 30,000 businesses", so treat 43,000 as the current figure. Logos on its homepage include Levi's, Yamaha, Red Bull, Instacart and Goodwill. The web portal works in 9 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German and Japanese.
OptiSigns also sells its own media players, which makes it slightly more than software-only, but installation is still yours. Its published case studies describe deployments, such as Super Chix in "all of their locations in 14 states", without measured results.
Small businesses that want to start free and grow into paid plans without a sales call. It is a good fit for teams that like plugging in apps and data sources themselves.
4. ScreenCloud, best for dashboards and internal communications screens
- $20 or $30 per screen per month (annual)
- G2 4.7★ (455 reviews)
- 10,000+ organizations
ScreenCloud is strongest when the screens show data and staff messages rather than ads. Its pricing is simple: Core at $20 and Pro at $30 per screen per month, billed annually, with Enterprise through sales and a 14-day Studio trial. G2 rates it 4.7 from 455 reviews. It says 10,000+ organizations use it and shows logos including GLS, BASF, Coca-Cola Consolidated, Ricoh and Orbia.
The founders are named on its about page: David Hart, Luke Hubbard and Mark McDermott, who launched it in London in 2015. It has offices in London, Bangkok, Belfast, Charlotte and Los Angeles. App content supports 11 languages, including Chinese (Simplified), Polish and Latin American Spanish.
Its best case study is Coca-Cola Consolidated, which planned to "deploy over 150 devices out in the field" for frontline staff, with "screens launched in 14 locations so far". Note that ScreenCloud's case-study index says "70+ locations" for the same customer, so ask which number is current. The case study describes reach, not a measured result.
ScreenCloud is software-only. You bring the screens, the players or compatible devices, and the installer.
Companies with warehouses, plants or offices that want KPI dashboards and staff updates on screens. It suits IT teams that already standardize on a few device types.
5. Rise Vision, best for schools and universities
- From $11 per display per month
- G2 4.7★ (1,004 reviews)
- 12,300+ organizations
Rise Vision is the education specialist. It publishes pricing at Basic $11 per display per month, Advanced $138 and Enterprise $164 per display per year, plus an unlimited-display school license at $1,399 per school per year. That flat school price is unusual and is the main reason districts shortlist it. There is a free trial and a 30-day money-back promise.
Its G2 rating is 4.7 from 1,004 reviews. Rise Vision says 12,300+ organizations use it on 77,846 displays in over 100 countries, and its homepage logos include Chicago Public Schools, Rutgers, Tampa General Hospital, Hilton and General Electric. It traces its history to 1992 and is headquartered in Ontario, Canada, with U.S. affiliates.
It is one of the few vendors with a measured customer quote. The University at Buffalo says "our student involvement has increased by 30%" since using it. The homepage also shows stats such as an "80% reduction in the time to update digital signage", but without a named customer, so give that one less weight.
Rise Vision is software, so screens and installation come from elsewhere. Many districts buy it alongside an installer.
K-12 districts and universities that want a flat per-school price and templates built for schools. It also works for hospitals and campuses with many screens and small content teams.
6. Spectrio, best for small chains that want audio, on-hold and screens from one service
- Pricing not published
- G2 4.5★ (198 reviews)
- "150,000+ locations"
Spectrio is a full-service provider in the older sense. It started in 1986 as Conquest Communications, and it now sells digital signage, on-hold messaging, overhead music, Wi-Fi marketing and kiosks together, with hands-on account support. It is based at 7624 Bald Cypress Place in Tampa.
Its G2 rating is 4.5 from 198 reviews. Spectrio claims over 150,000 locations; its about page calls that both "nationwide" and "around the world", so take the reach loosely. Homepage logos include Google, Subway, Marriott Bonvoy, Coca-Cola and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
It has one of the few sales numbers published by any company on this list: La Taqueria reported a "28% increase in sales" over a summer after adding menu signage. That case study dates from the Enplug era, when Spectrio absorbed that platform, so it is not recent.
Spectrio does not publish pricing; its pricing page lists features and asks you to book a demo. Ask specifically whether screens and installation are included in the quote or billed separately, because that is where totals differ most between providers.
Multi-location service businesses, like clinics, dealerships and restaurants, that want music, phone hold messages and screens from one vendor. It is less of a fit if you only need software.
7. Poppulo, best for enterprises connecting signage to employee communications
- Pricing not published; 14-day trial
- G2 4.3★ (105 reviews)
- 4,500+ organizations
Poppulo is the enterprise platform for companies whose signage is mostly about staff. It combines employee communications with the digital signage business it gained by merging with Four Winds Interactive, backed by Vista Equity Partners, a deal the Irish Examiner valued at about $1 billion in March 2021. In March 2025 it also acquired Reach Media Network.
It was founded in 2002 by Andrew O'Shaughnessy, according to the Irish Times, and was Cork-headquartered at the time. Poppulo says more than 4,500 organizations use it, and that the signage product is "designed to perform across networks of 10,000+ screens". Homepage logos include Mercedes-Benz, Zurich, Marriott, Hershey's and Hilton.
Poppulo Digital Signage rates 4.3 on G2 from 105 reviews. Pricing is not published; its pricing page says it is tailored to your requirements. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card. The clearest result it shows is a WPP testimonial about "doubling engagement", which is a quote rather than a measured case study.
Expect enterprise-style buying: security reviews, SSO and a longer contract. It doesn't install hardware, so pair it with an installer.
Large companies with an internal communications team that wants one platform for email, intranet and screens. It's more than most single-site or small-chain businesses need.
8. Korbyt, best for campuses and corporate offices that want proof of reach
- Pricing not published
- G2 4.4★ (27 reviews)
- Notre Dame: 80 → 222 screens
Korbyt combines digital signage, room booking and employee communications. Its lineage runs from Symon to RMG Networks and, since September 2020, Korbyt; Wikipedia places its headquarters in Dallas. Its own site says it is "trusted by Fortune 100 and leading enterprises" but gives no customer count.
It earns a spot for publishing the clearest measured result in our research. At the University of Notre Dame, "content distribution expanded from 80 to 222 screens, increasing exposure by 177.5%". Other named case studies include Linde AMT, Cardinal Glass, Foundation Medicine and Kennedys.
Korbyt's G2 rating is 4.4, but from only 27 reviews, so treat it as a thin sample. Pricing is not published, and we found no free trial. Like Poppulo, it is an enterprise buy: plan for a sales process and implementation services, and source screens and installation separately.
The reason to shortlist it over Poppulo is the room-booking and workplace side. If you want the same platform to run meeting-room panels and lobby screens, ask both for a side-by-side demo. Bring your screen count and room count to that call, because both quote on scale.
Universities, hospitals and corporate campuses running hundreds of screens alongside room booking. It suits organizations that need to show leadership how far their messages actually reach.
9. Samsung VXT, best for fleets running only Samsung commercial displays
- 60-day free trial (3 screens)
- G2 4.6★ (55 reviews)
- Pricing: "Contact us"
Samsung VXT is Samsung's cloud CMS, and it runs directly on Samsung commercial displays without a separate player. Samsung's VXT page calls it "the only digital signage company that makes both the display hardware and the software". For a fleet that's all Samsung, that removes one box per screen.
G2 rates VXT 4.6 from 55 reviews. Pricing is not public; every CMS and remote-management plan on the official pricing page says "Contact us". There is a 60-day free trial for up to 3 screens. Samsung's VXT page features case studies from the New York Mets at Citi Field, Dude Perfect, Harvest Gap Brewery and Beach People Studio, without published results.
One thing anyone on older Samsung software needs to know is that MagicINFO 8 is past its maintenance period. Samsung says its final security patch was delivered in October 2023, and its options are a paid upgrade to MagicINFO 9 or a move to VXT. If your screens still run MagicINFO 8 on a server in a closet, plan that migration now.
VXT covers display and software. Installation comes from a reseller or installer.
Businesses standardized on Samsung commercial displays that want to skip external media players. It is also the natural path for teams moving off MagicINFO 8.
10. BrightSign, best for reliable media players under any software
- LS425 player $380
- 3M+ players sold
- G2 3.7★ (8 reviews)
BrightSign makes the dedicated media players that much of the industry runs on. It is headquartered in San Jose, California, and says it has sold 3M+ players in 130+ countries, with 200+ certified CMS partners and over 5,000 authorized resellers and integrators. Jeff Hastings is its founding CEO, and the company dates itself to "the early 2000s".
Its entry player, the LS425, lists at $380 in BrightSign's store, and BrightSign Control, a remote configuration service, is included free with every player. The paid authoring tier doesn't publish a price. Homepage logos include GoPro, LG, Best Buy, Bose and Plug Power.
The G2 rating, 3.7 from 8 reviews, is too small a sample to mean much. Most BrightSign users meet it through a CMS partner or integrator rather than buying direct, so reviews land on those partners instead. We found no published customer result.
Buy BrightSign when you want a player that works with many CMS platforms and keeps running for years. You still need screens, software and installation. We specify BrightSign ourselves on projects where a CrownTV player isn't the right fit.
Integrators and IT teams that want one proven player under the CMS of their choice. It suits video walls, synchronized displays and long-running unattended screens.
Side-by-Side Comparison
The same five criteria: scope under one contract, published pricing, G2 rating and review count, published scale and free trial. All figures were checked on November 8, 2026, on each company's site and on G2. The four companies we reviewed but didn't rank are at the bottom.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a digital signage company?
Start with scope: decide whether you want one company to supply the screens, install them and run the software, or whether you only need software for screens you already own. Then compare published per-screen pricing, G2 ratings with at least 50 reviews, and proof the company runs networks your size.
How much does digital signage cost per screen?
Software-only platforms publish prices from about $8 to $45 per screen per month. Installed, all-in packages from CrownTV start at $2,950 per 32-inch screen and $3,450 per 55-inch screen, including the commercial display, mount, player, installation and the first year of software.
What is the difference between a digital signage company and a digital signage software company?
A software company sells the content platform and leaves the screens, mounts, players and installation to you. A full-service digital signage company supplies and installs everything and runs the platform, so one vendor is accountable when a screen goes dark.
What happened to Raydiant?
Displai Systems bought Raydiant's assets in May 2025, and raydiant.com now redirects to displai.ai. Displai focuses on restaurants and hospitality.
Is Samsung MagicINFO still supported?
MagicINFO 8 is past its maintenance period, and Samsung says its final security patch shipped in October 2023. Samsung's options are a paid upgrade to MagicINFO 9 or a move to its cloud platform, VXT.
How long does a digital signage install take?
For CrownTV, installation is typically 5–7 business days after the paid invoice. Multi-location programs run in waves by region after a short pilot.
Do I need commercial displays or will consumer TVs work?
Use commercial displays for anything that runs more than a few hours a day. Consumer TVs are not built for long daily hours, and their warranties usually limit or exclude commercial use.
