Why businesses look for ScreenCloud alternatives
ScreenCloud is aimed at larger organizations and is one of the pricier per-screen options, with its Core rate quoted for yearly billing. For small and mid-sized businesses running several screens, that adds up fast.
Businesses that mainly need menus, schedules, announcements and live widgets on a handful of screens often find they are paying for more than they use.
