Creative Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The little software that could." October 9, 2023 4.0 Overall I've been super happy with piSignage, it has been reliable and functioned as expected. Its bare-bones but that means it runs well on lower specced hardware and does exactly what it says it will. Pros Over many years now I have had excellent results using piSignage software, its reliable and lightweight meaning I don't have to spend as much on the latest hardware to run it. Cons It would be great to bring the ability to connect to Dropbox like Yodeck does for quick and easy online content updating for clients without needing to teach them a new interface and system. Alternatives considered [Screenly](https://www.capterra.com/p/167305/Screenly/)[Yodeck](https://www.capterra.com/p/228571/Yodeck/) Reason for choosing piSignage I have deployed piSignage to some clients, and Yodeck to others depending on whether I need dropbox functionality / ease of use for the client end users. piSignage is affordable and reliable and allows me to run the most compact and affordable Raspberry Pi hardware more than Yodeck does.

Retail Overseer Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent Sign Software for Techy People" October 1, 2025 4.0 piSignage actually makes sense for smaller operations if you have a bit of technical ability. It's given us the polish of a much larger company without requiring a dedicated IT person to manage it. That said, there's room for growth in areas where analytics would help me optimize strategy. Overall, it's a good solid investment that's paid for itself in keeping customers engaged while they're waiting in line. Pros You get professional signage without enterprise pricing. The screen management interface is actually flexible and lets me schedule content across several of my tv displays. Setup was refreshingly straightforward for someone with basic tech skills. Reliability has been solid; our screens run 12+ hours daily without hiccups. Customer support responds quickly and actually understands the technical questions. The customization options let me match our brand perfectly, and I appreciate being able to use custom HTML when needed. Cons Some of the advanced features have a learning curve that feels steeper than necessary like the UI could be more intuitive for complex multi-zone layouts. Documentation is sometimes sparse especially with edge cases or newer features, so I've had to figure things out through trial and error. Encountered minor bugs when using unusual media formats (webp images, certain video codecs), though common formats work flawlessly. The analytics dashboard exists but feels basic. Alternatives considered [Yotpo](https://www.capterra.com/p/144389/Yotpo/) Reason for choosing piSignage Yotpo seems to be in a very similar position as Optisigns. I had to buy new streaming devices to make it work, and using Raspberry Pi's instead was ultimately cheaper and way less restrictive. Review Source JC Jason C. IT Manager Industrial Automation Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Easy enough solution to implement, advanced capability limited" August 11, 2025 3.0 The basics of it appeared to work but some of my use cases I could never get functioning which led me to another vendor. Pros It was easy enough to setup and get installed and the basics of it appeared to work. Uploading media and having it update was quick and responsive Cons I could not get the internal URL to function and it would not connect to a hidden SSID network. The product was also not capable of displaying PowerPoint content directly and required a conversion, minor inconvenience. Alternatives considered [OptiSigns](https://www.capterra.com/p/173450/OptiSigns/) Reason for choosing piSignage I did not, I ended up choosing Optisign over piSignage Switched from [Raspberry Pi OS](https://www.capterra.com/p/230090/Raspbian/) I wanted to test out a solution that already had the development done on the back end and management.

Administration Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good software with a small but fine range of functions" October 15, 2024 4.0 Pros Easy setup with Web browser and intuitive dashboard for managing the content. There are also lots of media types that you can upload very easily do display on your screen. Cons The dashboards seems to be a little bit too simple. Some functions like external apps are missing. Alternatives considered [Yodeck](https://www.capterra.com/p/228571/Yodeck/) Reason for choosing piSignage I first chose it because of the lower price. Review Source Scott L. Help Desk Engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simplistic" August 1, 2019 5.0 It took a couple of days to learn the system and get things up and going but since then it has run without issue with no errors. The licensing structure is also very reasonable for what you get. Pros It was easy to setup and configure. There are many different media formats that can be pushed to the devices. The image that is already configured for the Pi works great and almost requires no configuration. Cons We have our Pi cluster in a separate server room which uses hdmi encoders to to the TV's. Dashboards are displayed and sometimes require login and it would be nice for some way to natively log into the devices other than vnc to use keyboard and mouse. Review Source Giuseppe D.

IT Operations Team Leader Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cost effective digital signage" December 11, 2023 3.0 Pros Pisignage is cheaper that the alternatives, but a bit more clunky. Cons Not as intuitiave an interface as competitors Review Source KH Krishna H. CEO Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Signage Software, Great Support, Highly Reliable, Get 3 free Players for life!" August 17, 2017 5.0 Increased customer impulsive purchases, leading to high ROI.

No apparent disadvantages using the software. Infact it has the best of all competitive software. Review Source NT Nicholas T. Tech Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good but..." October 7, 2020 4.0 We were testing to see what signage we would use for our company. We did not decide to utilize this product due to it's lack of built in apps and the need for a 1 amp usb on a TV (Which the TVs we had did not have) Pros I really liked the price point, the open nature of the software, the ability to change things around, and the inexpensive hardware. Cons I wish there were more function built apps. Alternatives considered [OptiSigns](https://www.capterra.com/p/173450/OptiSigns/) Review Source JC JoAnn C. Librarian Libraries Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not user friendly" February 17, 2023 3.0 We are no longer using piSignage because it's not as user friendly. Pros None. It is too quirky and hard to use. Cons ComplicatedNot flexibleTakes too long to update Review Source LW Leander W. IT-Administration Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Eine vernünftige Lösung" July 27, 2023 5.0 Pros Datenschutz und -sicherheit ist hier durch die Möglichkeit der OnPremise-Lösung kein Problem. Das zentrale Management funktioniert zuverlässig. Das Definieren von Zeitplänen für Playlisten ist unkompliziert und kann gut verschachtelt werden. Cons Die Lizenzen sind zwar allesamt eingebunden und gültig, jedoch wird bei einigen Geräten ein Banner im unteren Bereich mit der Lizenzierungsaufforderung gezeigt. Review Source Response from piSignage August 1, 2023 Thanks for the review!, regarding the license issue, please contact support at pisignage.com. It is mainly due to player not coming online, username being different at on-premises server or license is not generated as player-only. Similar Products Featured
