Fugo vs Layarva

Fugo is cloud-based digital signage software for managing screen content, schedules, and screen health from a central platform. Teams can upload media, build playlists, schedule and target content, publish to multiple screens in bulk, and mirror screens wirelessly. Supported content includes images, videos, PDFs, documents, web pages, dashboards, social and RSS feeds, news, weather, and presentations. Fugo reports screen status and playback and can alert users when screens go offline or need attention. It lists 47 apps and integrations, including Power BI, Looker, Grafana, Tableau, Google Drive, Sheets, and Slides. Most integrations are included in a plan, but some premium apps may cost extra, and connected third-party tools need their own subscriptions. Fugo offers a free plan and a 14-day trial of Core features without a credit card. Listed plans are Essential at $24 a month, Core at $36 a month, and Enterprise at $40 a month billed annually. Its browser player needs to remain open, awake, and in the foreground, so Fugo does not recommend it as the primary player for permanent everyday signage.

Layarva combines digital signage content creation, screen operations, hybrid playback, queue management, and system integration. Users can create layouts, organize assets and playlists, schedule and publish content, and monitor playback and screen health. Layarva Studio supports landscape, portrait, Full HD, 4K, and custom canvases, with media, motion, widgets, and reusable elements. Delivery can use Cloud, Edge, or Offline modes, with local caching and a last-known-good publication for playback continuity. Queue functions include issuing, calling, and recalling tickets, counters, chimes, text-to-speech, and monitoring. Listed integrations include a REST API and webhooks, YouTube Live, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Google Slides, and Canva; OneDrive and SharePoint are planned. Android player, browser player, and Layarva Edge are described as supported, while the Windows player application is tested. For Linux playback with Cloud Player, the site advises an up-to-date Chrome or Edge browser and notes a launcher for automatic fullscreen startup. The free tier includes one screen, 1 GB storage, and one offline screen; Queue Only costs $15 a month.
