Why teams switch

Where SignageTube goes further

Real PowerPoint, not an import

OptiSigns plays an uploaded PowerPoint without its animations unless you export it as MP4. In SignageTube you keep editing in PowerPoint, and Professional plays it on Windows as built.

Data from your databases

Beyond spreadsheets, Enterprise links to SQL, Oracle, ODBC and OPC: the systems your team already trusts.

Your own servers from 5 screens

Custom runs any SignageTube edition on your own servers from 5 screens. OptiSigns offers on premise on Enterprise, from 25 screens.

Not sure? Try both on your own screens.

Every edition comes with a 15 day free trial, no credit card.

The honest part

Where OptiSigns wins

Fair is fair. Here are three places OptiSigns is the better buy.

A free tier

A free plan, no card. We have no answer to that. SignageTube gives you 15 days on any edition.

Light data costs less there

Pro Plus at $13.50 adds dashboards and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace integrations. For cloud files with a refresh every few minutes, it costs less than our Enterprise.

The bigger app catalog

Hundreds of apps and integrations. If the length of that list decides it for you, OptiSigns wins.

So which one should you pick?

Choose OptiSigns for data in cloud files when price decides. Choose SignageTube for data in a database, or slides that must stay real PowerPoint.

Switching

Moving from OptiSigns, step by step

Nothing has to go dark. Run both during the trial and switch when you are ready.

1

Export your media, keep your devices

Download your media from OptiSigns. Your Android TV devices and Windows PCs can run SignageTube.

2

Keep PowerPoint as the source

OptiSigns turns an uploaded PowerPoint into a file. In SignageTube you edit in PowerPoint and the screen follows.

3

Link your data to the slide

With Enterprise, drop a cell, query or field on the slide, no code. Databases, Oracle, ODBC and OPC work too.

FAQ

OptiSigns alternative, answered

What is the best OptiSigns alternative?
SignageTube suits teams that want live data from Excel, databases, Microsoft 365 or Salesforce without code (with Enterprise), and PowerPoint that stays PowerPoint.
OptiSigns Pro Plus does PowerPoint and Excel for $13.50. Why pay more?
For data in cloud files, OptiSigns costs less and works. SignageTube earns the difference when data sits in a database or must update in real time.
Is SignageTube more expensive than OptiSigns?
Yes, at entry: Starter is €10 per screen per month billed annually, $11.41 in USD, against $9 for OptiSigns Standard. Our Enterprise edition also costs more than Pro Plus.
Can I import my OptiSigns content?
Media files, yes: download and upload them. App settings and playlists do not move between tools like these, so you rebuild them once.
Does SignageTube report what played?
Yes. Professional and Enterprise include a report of what played, where and when (Proof of Play). Need a certified report for ad contracts? Ask us first.
