What customers, partners and reviewers say
Running screens for restaurants, hotels, schools and LED manufacturers across Europe.
We needed to display information in our staff canteen. I found easyCMS online and from the beginning the support was great. They helped me create a unique design and now I am able to use it on my own.
We are a LED display manufacturer. Sometimes our customers ask for content management software. This is why we work with easyCMS to provide us with a solution. We are happy and our customers as well.
With easyCMS we could rely on professional advice to equip our 14 fast food locations with digital signage. With this new set-up we can communicate more efficiently across our locations and increase sales.
As digital signage professionals, we specialise in hardware, especially LED displays. Thanks to our partnership with easyCMS we are able to focus on our core products and outsource the CMS.
Besides the great value in regards to the pricing, they also provide a very prompt support.
Great and easy to use software! Very helpful and resourceful support!
The setup was really easy and the training before using it was really easy to follow and all my questions could be answered.
Direct to the point. Easy to use. Very effective. Exactly what I needed and wanted.

Built on Xibo, and we say so
easyCMS runs on Xibo 4.5, a mature open-source signage engine used and tested by a large community. We host it in the European Union, brand it, pre-configure the players, sell it once instead of monthly, and answer the phone. The engine being open source is the reason your content is never trapped: it is public software, and your media, layouts and schedules are yours to export.
Build a layout by dragging things onto it
Split the screen however you want, place video, images, text and widgets, and control the layers. Start from a template when you are in a hurry.
- As many zones as the screen can carry
- Portrait or landscape, Full HD or 4K
- Touch and interactive content
- Your own fonts and colours
Decide once when things play
One-off, repeating and always-on events, with dayparting so the screen changes itself. Schedule to one display or to a group of them.
- Dayparting for breakfast, lunch and evening
- Campaigns across many displays at once
- Playlists that fill themselves from tags
- Timezones handled per display
Know what is on the wall without walking to it
Every display reports when it last checked in. Ask any of them for a screenshot and see exactly what a customer is looking at.
- Last check-in and connectivity per display
- On-demand screenshots
- Proof-of-play reporting on PRO and Enterprise
- Remote commands to the player

Everyone else charges by the screen, every month
Digital signage software is normally rented. You pay per screen, per month, for as long as the screen is on the wall. easyCMS is bought once. Here is what five screens have cost you by the end of each year, software only.
| Five screens, total paid so far | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| easyCMS, paid once | 313 € | 313 € | 313 € | 313 € | 313 € |
| Xibo Cloud Professional, 4,40 € | 264 € | 528 € | 792 € | 1 056 € | 1 320 € |
| OptiSigns Standard, 7,50 € | 450 € | 900 € | 1 350 € | 1 800 € | 2 250 € |
| Yodeck Basic, 8 € | 480 € | 960 € | 1 440 € | 1 920 € | 2 400 € |
Cheapest from year one against Yodeck and OptiSigns, and from year two against the cheapest subscription on the table. After that our column never moves again.
One screen is 49 € once against 53 € to 96 € every year. Twenty-five screens are 1 883 € once against 1 320 € to 2 400 € every year.
easyCMS, bought in one order: 49 € account including one licence, plus 66 € per additional display. Competitor prices are each vendor's own published rate, checked September 2026. Software only: hardware, screens and installation are extra on every platform.
Everything your screens need, on every plan
The same CMS and the same widgets whether you run one screen or a thousand. No feature tiers, no widget packs to buy back. The paid plans add scale, reporting and multi-user administration, not the basics.
Change every screen from one browser tab
One screen or a hundred, in one venue or twenty. Group your displays, publish once, and every player picks it up on its next check-in.
Multi-zone layouts
Split the screen into as many areas as you need. Video, images, text, widgets, portrait or landscape.
Scheduling & dayparting
Breakfast board at 07:00, dinner board at 18:00, no one touching a laptop in between.
Your screens keep playing when the internet drops
Content is cached on the player, so a dropped line means stale widgets, not a black screen in front of your customers.
What actually happens offline →Live data from a table
Prices, menus, rotas and production numbers come from a DataSet. Edit a row, not a layout.
Monitoring & screenshots
See when each display last checked in, and pull a screenshot of exactly what is on it right now.
Proof of play
A record of what played, where and for how long. Included on PRO and Enterprise.
Built for the room your screen is in
A menu board, a factory production board and a school notice board are different jobs. Each of these pages covers what to put on screen, what to buy, and what it costs over five years.
Sell it as your own product
Agencies, AV integrators and LED manufacturers across Europe already resell easyCMS without our name on it anywhere. On Enterprise, your logo, your colours and your product name replace ours throughout the CMS, and your customers sign in on your own domain. We build it, host it and keep it updated. You sell it.
- Your brand in the interface, your domain in the address bar
- A user group per customer, each scoped to their own screens
- Licences at 49€ instead of 99€
- Players at 299€ instead of 499€
- Live within 7 days, we do the setup for you

It runs on the screens you already have
Four platforms, one CMS. Put a small player behind any screen, or use a signage panel that runs the player itself and skip the box entirely.
- Android Any Android box, or ours
- Windows Mini PC or existing estate
- LG webOS Signage panels, no player box
- Samsung Tizen Signage panels, no player box
Every screen needs its own display licence, whatever it runs on. Android, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen players also carry a commercial licence of their own, which we supply with your order.
The six we are asked most
Sixty-odd more on the FAQ, and the assistant in the corner will answer from the whole knowledge base.
What do I actually pay?
49€ once for the account, which includes your first display licence. Each additional screen is 99€ once, or 66€ when you buy the licences in the same order as the account, which is a third off. PRO is 299€ once for up to 25 displays and adds proof-of-play reporting. Hardware is separate if you need it: our Android player is 499€, or bring your own. Only the Enterprise plan at 1290€ a year is recurring.
Is there really no subscription?
For the account, the licences and PRO, yes. You pay once and there is nothing to renew, and software updates are included. Enterprise is the single exception and it is billed yearly, because it is a white-label CMS on your own domain that we host and maintain for you.
What screens and players does it work with?
Android players, Windows PCs, LG webOS Signage panels and Samsung Tizen signage panels. Every screen needs its own display licence whatever it runs on, and on Android, webOS and Tizen the player carries a commercial licence as well, which we supply. A consumer TV is not a signage panel, so check the model before you buy one.
What happens to my screens if easyCMS goes away?
easyCMS is built on Xibo, an open-source engine published under the AGPLv3, and we say so openly. Your media, layouts and schedules are yours and are exportable, and the engine itself is public software that anyone can run. A subscription platform cannot make that promise, because its customers hold a right of access to someone else’s cloud rather than software they can keep.
How do I get help when something breaks?
The AI assistant and 25 written guides are free to everyone, with or without an account, and they cover almost everything people ask us. When you want an engineer hands-on with your own setup, an Expert Support Hour is 25€: an hour of investigation, a written diagnosis and a fixed quote before any further work, started the same working day if it is urgent. We refund it if the cause turns out to be a bug in easyCMS. Enterprise accounts include priority support.
Can I run it under my own brand?
Yes, on Enterprise. Your logo, your colours and your product name replace ours throughout the CMS and your customers sign in on your own domain. We do the branding work, usually within 7 days of receiving your logo and colours. Licences drop to 49€ and players to 299€, which is what makes reselling work.
