Xibo is an open-source digital signage CMS available as a self-hosted server or a hosted CMS tier, popular with IT teams that want to run their own infrastructure.
For Xibo's current features, hardware support, and pricing, see Xibo's own website.
A cloud digital signage software platform with AI content generation, video walls without a controller, live voice and text-to-speech announcements, and multi-location management. Pay as you go from $5 to $9 per screen per month, with a 7-day free trial and no credit card.
Capabilities that are built in rather than sold as add-ons.
The player app keeps a live connection to your dashboard - publish a change and it's on every assigned screen in seconds, no scheduled sync or reboot.
Generate an on-brand promo image or a line of menu copy in seconds instead of opening a design tool for every banner.
See which screens are online, offline, or overdue for a heartbeat from one dashboard, so a dead screen gets caught before a customer notices.
Give a store manager upload rights without handing them your whole account, and see exactly who changed what, with optional MFA on top.
Every plan, no add-on packs to negotiate for.
