Yodeck

Yodeck is a digital signage platform for organizations publishing content across screens and locations. It is best suited to teams that need offline playback, varied media, and structured access controls. The free tier works for a single display; advanced scheduling and integrations sit in higher paid plans.

Overview

Yodeck centralizes content creation, scheduling, and remote publishing in one dashboard, with capacity to manage anything from a single screen to deployments spanning multiple locations. Offline playback is a meaningful safeguard for displays that need to keep showing scheduled content during network interruptions.

Its media support covers images, video, audio, documents, PDFs, Microsoft Office files, web pages, YouTube, Vimeo, and live video streams. More than 160 connected apps and over 800 templates give teams a broad starting point, while advanced roles, workspaces, hierarchies, and permissions help separate responsibilities as deployments grow. Yodeck has operated since 2015.

Key features

Publishing and playback

Remote management avoids handling each display in isolation, and offline playback reduces the risk that a connection loss will interrupt a screen. The platform supports Raspberry Pi players, Android TVs, web browsers, and compatible devices. Its listed platforms include Android, API, and web, but there is no mobile app, so teams seeking a dedicated phone app should look elsewhere.

Content, integrations, and teams

The breadth of media types makes Yodeck useful for organizations combining promotional material with office documents, web pages, or live streams. API access is available, but the plan breakdown places the API and Microsoft 365 and Google Apps among Premium features; Basic buyers should not assume they receive those capabilities. Advanced team controls are a better fit for managed deployments than for a user who only needs a simple player and playlist.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and is limited to one screen. It includes unlimited file storage and unlimited users, making it a low-commitment way to run one display, but it does not remove the screen cap. The trial provides full feature access for 30 days and supports up to five screens; no credit card is required to start free or use the trial.

Basic costs $8 a month, billed monthly, and includes 800+ templates and 90+ Essential Apps. It is the entry paid option for a modest deployment, but the listed Premium feature set adds the richer integrations and scheduling controls. Premium costs $12 a month, billed monthly, and adds Microsoft 365 and Google Apps, data visualization apps, the Yodeck AI Agent and API, advanced media scheduling, tag-based playlists and sub-playlists, and an interactive library and playlist.

Enterprise costs $16 a month, billed monthly, and includes 24/5 support. Enterprise+ has custom pricing for tailored onboarding, custom integrations, and priority support; it is aimed at organizations with requirements beyond the standard tiers, and offers 24/7 priority support. Every annual plan includes a free Yodeck Player, with a 1GB RAM player on Basic and a 4GB RAM player on Premium and Enterprise. The listed monthly prices are separate from that annual-plan hardware benefit.

Platforms

Yodeck supports Android, web, and API, and runs on Raspberry Pi players, Android TVs, browsers, and compatible devices. The lack of a mobile app limits it for people who expect to manage screens through a dedicated phone application.

Who it's for

Yodeck is a strong fit for retailers, offices, and other organizations coordinating displays across locations, particularly when offline playback, varied content, and permission controls matter. Its free plan can serve a single-screen use case, while larger deployments can move to paid tiers as integrations, scheduling, and support needs increase. It is less compelling for buyers who need a mobile app or only want a simple, low-cost multi-screen setup.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Offline playback helps scheduled content continue through network interruptions.
• Pros: Broad media support, 160+ connected apps, and 800+ templates give teams many ways to build screen content.
• Pros: Unlimited users and storage on the one-screen free plan lower the barrier to trying it with a team.
• Pros: Workspaces, hierarchies, roles, and permissions support more structured administration.
• Cons: The free plan is capped at one screen, so adding displays requires a paid tier.
• Cons: API access, office-app integrations, and advanced scheduling are Premium features, not part of the $8.00 USD Basic tier.
• Cons: There is no mobile app, and Enterprise+ requires custom pricing.

Alternatives

Compare digital signage software if you want to weigh the wider category before choosing a platform.

OptiSigns is worth considering if broader platform coverage or a free plan supporting up to three screen types and 25 basic apps matters more than Yodeck's stated offline playback and content breadth.

EasySignage offers a one-screen free plan with 200 MB storage and unlimited monthly bandwidth, so consider it if that storage-and-bandwidth arrangement better suits a single-display project.

Fugo has an Essential plan at $24 a month; consider it if you are comparing a paid alternative with a stated monthly price.

Play Digital Signage is another option to compare for digital signage.

DigitalSignage.com offers a free plan with three screens and 1 GB cloud storage, making it worth considering if a larger free screen allowance is the priority.

PiSignage is another option to compare for digital signage.

MediaSignage offers a free plan with three screens and 1 GB cloud storage, so it may suit a buyer prioritizing those free-tier limits.

NEXON Vision offers a free plan with three screens and 1 GB storage, plus a Business plan at €3 a month with 100 GB storage, unlimited screens, and unlimited users; compare it if those limits and price are a better fit.

Verdict

Choose Yodeck if your organization needs a central way to manage varied screen content, continue playback offline, and govern access across a growing deployment. The one-screen free tier and broad media support make it easy to start, but the screen cap and Premium-gated integrations make it a weaker choice for a free multi-screen rollout or buyers who need API access at the lowest paid tier.
