SignageTube
ScreenCloud is the premium brand in this category and is priced like it. SignageTube starts at roughly a third of ScreenCloud's entry price, keeps your content in PowerPoint, and goes considerably deeper on live data. Here is the side-by-side, including where ScreenCloud is the better buy.

SignageTube is billed in euro — €7.17 / €22.50 / €36 per screen per month on annual billing (€8 / €25 / €40 monthly). USD figures are approximate. ScreenCloud prices are their published USD rates, re-checked June 2026; every vendor in this category changes plans often, so confirm current pricing before you decide.
SignageTube starts below ScreenCloud and includes a live data engine ScreenCloud cannot match, from spreadsheets to databases.
Design in the PowerPoint your team already knows. ScreenCloud uses its own canvas, which means a new tool to learn.
Run SignageTube fully on premises for closed and secure environments. ScreenCloud is cloud only.
Every SignageTube plan starts with a 7 day free trial, no credit card. Put your real data on a screen and see the difference.
No comparison page is worth reading if the vendor who wrote it never loses a round. Here are the three places ScreenCloud is the better buy.
Mature roles and permissions, single sign-on, procurement paperwork and a support organisation built for large estates. If your rollout has to survive an IT review, ScreenCloud is used to that conversation.
Strong in-product design tooling and a wide app catalogue. You can build good-looking screens without anyone who knows PowerPoint — which is the whole premise of SignageTube, so this is a real fork in the road.
In a tender, recognition counts. ScreenCloud has the reference customers and the analyst presence; we are a smaller company with a deeper data engine.
Choose ScreenCloud if you are standardising a large estate on a premium brand, your content is designed in-house by a design team, and enterprise governance is the deciding factor. Choose SignageTube if PowerPoint is already where your content lives, the screens need live operational data, and you would rather put the difference in price into more screens.
Nothing has to go dark. Run both platforms side by side through the trial and switch when the screens look right.
Most estates run a handful of real layouts and a long tail nobody watches. List the layouts worth keeping before you move anything — this is usually the step that saves the most work.
ScreenCloud Studio canvases do not export; media does. Rebuild the keepers once as PowerPoint masters, or start from the 120+ templates included, so any colleague can update them afterwards.
Bind the numbers to Excel, a database or Microsoft 365, run one site in parallel for the trial week, then compare cost per screen and how long a content change actually takes.
