A low-cost signage platform with offline playback, monitoring, and flexible content tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ScreenManager is cloud-based digital signage software for businesses managing content across connected displays. It supports media uploads for images, animated images, videos, and PDFs, along with playlists, scheduled playback, multi-zone scenes, remote monitoring, offline playback, templates, external API data sources, and audience analytics using integrated cameras. Its stated use cases include restaurants, retail, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, education, and other commercial deployments. The platform runs through web, Windows, Linux, and Android, with support also described for ChromeOS/Web and selected professional display platforms.
Pricing is organized by screen, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Business costs $8 per screen per month when billed monthly or $6 per screen per month when billed annually, including 5 GB of cloud storage, 3 user seats, 2 Spaces, HDMI screen on/off hours, essential device monitoring, and priority support. Professional costs $15 monthly or $13 annually per screen, adding unlimited cloud storage, unlimited users and Spaces, playlists in Scenes, nested playlists, notifications and monitoring, and 4K playback. Enterprise adds remote device management, advanced security, a custom SLA, custom integrations, Proof of Play reports, and audit logs.
Offline playback is a clear fit for teams that need scheduled content to continue during connectivity interruptions. Scenes and multi-zone layouts suit displays that need different content areas, while custom roles and permissions help separate responsibilities across a signage operation. API data sources and repeaters extend the platform beyond manually uploaded media, and audience analytics can add camera-based measurement. ScreenManager is a practical choice for cost-conscious organizations that need core signage management across multiple operating systems. Teams requiring Enterprise-only controls, custom integrations, or advanced security should review the higher tier before choosing it.
