In their own words
Fugo
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.
