In their own words
PiSignage
PiSignage is digital signage software for managing screens and scheduling playback of images, videos, audio, documents, HTML, web links, livestreams, Media RSS, PDFs and text. It supports offline playback, API access, a mobile app and advanced user roles. Scheduling includes calendar views, dayparting and TV-off schedules. Supported options include Raspberry Pi, Android TV, Amazon devices, browsers, Linux and desktops. The free tier includes two player licenses and two lifetime subscriptions, with the first two screens free forever. Paid plans are billed annually: a new player costs $35.00 per year, displayed as $3 per month, while an existing player costs $20.00 per year from the second year onward, displayed as $1.67 per month. There are no long-term contracts, and customers choose and own their hardware. PiSignage also offers a white-labelled server with customized branding, domain and UI, and says its service can scale from one local-shop screen to thousands globally. Support comes directly from the small team that built the product.
