Yodeck

Yodeck is digital signage software for creating, scheduling, and publishing content remotely from one dashboard. It can manage screens at one or many locations and supports images, video, audio, documents, Microsoft Office files, web pages, YouTube, Vimeo, and live video streams. Content can play offline. Yodeck runs on Raspberry Pi players, Android TVs, web browsers, and compatible devices, and its listed platforms include Android, API, and web. The free plan supports one screen with unlimited users and file storage. Paid plans start at $8 per screen per month. A 30-day trial offers full feature access for up to five screens, with no credit card required for the trial or free plan. The service connects with more than 160 apps and provides more than 800 templates. Team management includes workspaces, hierarchies, custom roles, and permissions. Enterprise includes SAML SSO, encryption, and 24/5 support; Enterprise+ offers 24/7 priority support. Yodeck lists API access but no mobile app.

Yodeck combines remote signage publishing with broad media support, offline playback, and team controls. The one-screen free plan and lack of a mobile app are important limits to weigh.

Yodeck suits organizations managing digital signage on one or multiple screens, including teams that need remote content scheduling and role-based management. Its free tier can suit a single-screen setup.

Yodeck is a digital signage service for putting scheduled content on screens and managing it remotely. It is best suited to teams running displays across locations, particularly when varied media and offline playback matter. The free tier is a practical single-screen starting point; larger networks will need a paid plan.

Overview

Yodeck brings content creation, scheduling, and publishing into one dashboard, with capacity to manage anything from one display to thousands across locations. Offline playback helps scheduled material keep running during network interruptions, which makes the service a stronger fit for unattended displays than a system that depends on a live connection.

Supported content ranges from images, video, and audio to documents, PDFs, Microsoft Office files, web pages, YouTube, Vimeo, and live video streams. More than 160 connected apps and over 800 free templates give teams options for extending their content workflow and building screen layouts. Yodeck also supports Raspberry Pi players, Android TVs, browsers, and compatible devices. Its listed platforms include Android, API, and web, but it has no mobile app.

Key features

Remote publishing and team controls

A single dashboard handles remote content creation, scheduling, and publishing, reducing the need to manage screens individually. Workspaces, hierarchies, custom roles, and permissions give teams a way to separate responsibilities and control access as a screen network grows. API access is available, but it is included with Premium rather than Basic.

Playback and security

Offline playback is useful for displays in places where connectivity may be unreliable. Yodeck offers ISO-certified security and enterprise-grade features; Enterprise adds SAML SSO and data encryption. Those controls make the upper tiers more relevant to organizations with formal access and security requirements than to a single-screen user.

Pricing

Yodeck uses a freemium model, with paid plans starting at $8 per screen per month. The free plan supports one screen and includes unlimited file storage and users, so it can serve a small installation without a storage or seat cap. Its single-screen limit is the main constraint: a second display requires a paid plan. Free access and the 30-day trial require no credit card.

The trial provides full feature access for 30 days and supports up to five screens, making it a useful way for a small team to evaluate a multi-screen setup before committing.

• Free: $0.00 per free. One screen with essentials, unlimited file storage, and unlimited users. It suits a single display, but not a growing network.
• Basic: $8.00 per month, billed monthly. It includes more than 800 templates and 90+ Essential Apps, making it the entry paid option for teams that need more than the free essentials. Annual plans include a free 1GB RAM Yodeck Player.
• Premium: $12.00 per month, billed monthly. 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 add substantial workflow capabilities. It is the better fit for teams that need these integrations or finer scheduling and playlist control. Annual plans include a free 4GB RAM Yodeck Player.
• Enterprise: $16.00 per month, billed monthly. It includes 24/5 support and is aimed at organizations that need more support coverage and enterprise features. Annual plans include a free 4GB RAM Yodeck Player.
• Enterprise+: custom pricing for tailored onboarding, custom integrations, and priority support needs. It offers 24/7 priority support for organizations that need that coverage.

The published monthly prices are per screen, so costs rise with the number of displays. The free plan has a clear one-screen ceiling, while the annual-plan player benefit varies by tier: 1GB RAM on Basic and 4GB RAM on Premium and Enterprise.

Platforms

Yodeck runs on Raspberry Pi players, Android TVs, web browsers, and compatible devices, and its platform list includes Android, API, and web. The lack of a mobile app is a drawback for people who want to manage signage from a dedicated phone app; browser-based access remains an option.

Who it's for

Yodeck is a strong choice for businesses, institutions, or distributed teams that need to publish content across multiple screens and locations, particularly when varied media, offline playback, or structured team permissions are priorities. A single-screen user can start free, while organizations needing advanced scheduling, integrations, or enterprise support have paid tiers to grow into. It is less suitable for anyone who requires a mobile app or wants to manage several screens on the free plan.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Offline playback can keep scheduled content visible through connection interruptions.
• Pro: Broad media support, more than 160 connected apps, and over 800 templates give teams flexibility in what they publish and how they build layouts.
• Pro: Workspaces, hierarchies, custom roles, and permissions support more controlled team operations.
• Con: The free plan is limited to one screen, so it cannot cover a multi-display setup at no cost.
• Con: There is no mobile app, which rules out a dedicated mobile-management workflow.
• Con: API access and advanced scheduling start at Premium, not at the $8 Basic tier.

Alternatives

Consider OptiSigns if a free plan for up to three supported screen types, 25 basic apps, and 1GB of storage better matches a small deployment; its platform list also spans Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. EasySignage is another free one-screen option, with 200 MB storage and unlimited monthly bandwidth. For a setup centered on Linux-compatible players and two free player licenses, PiSignage is worth considering.

Fugo is an alternative if its Essential plan at $24.00 per month, content design studio, and customizable templates suit your needs. Addreality offers a free digital signage plan for remote screen and content management. For a network with pricing tailored to its size, support, services, and hardware, consider Poppulo Digital Signage.

CloudShow has a free plan for one device with 100 MB content storage, making it an option for a small device-based setup. XOGO Digital Signage offers a free plan for one player and one user, with 15 library items and HD content.

Verdict

Choose Yodeck if you need remote control of a growing screen network, reliable offline playback, and media and team-management breadth in one service. Its free tier is genuinely useful for one display, while Premium and the enterprise tiers address more involved workflows. Look elsewhere if you need a free multi-screen plan or a dedicated mobile app.
