Top 20 Digital Signage Software (& Which Is Right for You)
Looking for digital signage software? We’ve rounded up the best and most popular tools.
Just like it sounds, digital signage refers to displaying a digital (instead of a physical) sign.
Here are some examples of digital signage:
- A digital menu at a cafe or restaurant.
- Locations of breakout rooms or sessions displayed on a TV during a conference.
- Pictures of new employees, company announcements, and kudos are displayed on a TV in a corporate lunch room.
The software platforms listed below can all help you set up your own digital signage.
We include a list of their top features and details on their pricing plans for each platform. Keep reading to find the perfect tool for your needs.
1. Juuno
Juuno is an affordable, easy-to-use digital signage software that allows businesses of any type to set up their displays in three simple steps. First, you make a playlist of the type of content you want to display. For example, your Twitter feed, pictures of new staff, and company notices. Second, you set up your schedule for every day of the week to determine what should play when. Thirdly, you curate the content coming in from your various feeds (for example, delete tweets you don’t want to show up).
Creating digital signage with Juuno is sort of like organizing a playlist. The platform is very easy to learn and understand, while others on our list tend to be unnecessarily complicated.
Top features:
- Works on any TV, PC, or table (with a web browser)
- Playlist-inspired process
- Digital signage daily schedules (for keeping content fresh)
- Ability to pull in content from social media accounts
- Add images, videos, Canva designs, and more

The company recommends that you use TVs with LCD or LED screens.

3. Scala
With Scala, you can manage your digital signage from the cloud. The software offers several important features, such as the content manager, design studio, and media player. The company also offers hardware relating to digital signage, including various media players that allow for secure and fast media performance.

Top features:
- Digital signage templates

Pricing:
Scala doesn’t publish their pricing online, so you’ll need to get in touch with sales to find out the costs of the software and hardware.

That makes this a fit for storefronts and organizations with a lot of consumer foot traffic.

If you don’t need all of these features in one place, then it will be overpriced for your needs.
