PiSignage vs Viewix

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.

Viewix is digital signage software for overseeing screens from one dashboard. Operators can view live screenshots, screen health, uptime, content previews, and alerts, then group displays by location or control them in bulk. Its drag-and-drop editor includes more than 500 templates, and scheduling can use time, location, or triggers, with dayparting and automatic expiry. Viewix says it can publish updates to one screen or 10,000 and describes support for up to 20,000 screens. The homepage lists Android, Tizen, webOS, Fire TV, and ChromeOS display compatibility. Integration options include more than 100 connectors, API data feeds, webhook triggers, Zapier and Make automation, and REST API access. Cloud hosting and on-premise deployment are offered, with the latter supporting air-gapped or offline use. Viewix describes SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, GDPR compliance, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access, SSO / SAML 2.0, and exportable audit logs. A new account receives 14 days of full-feature access, then continues on the Free plan unless upgraded. Free costs nothing; Starter is $49 a month and Growth is $149 a month.
