InfoSlides vs. ScreenCloud
ScreenCloud charges $24 per screen per month on its entry annual plan, with no free plan and a time-limited trial. InfoSlides gives you one screen free forever and costs substantially less for multi-screen setups, while adding features ScreenCloud does not have: HLS streaming output, native LG webOS and Android TV apps, and Google Reviews slides.
Free plan · No credit card required · 1 screen free forever
Four good reasons to choose InfoSlides Over ScreenCloud
Price
Free Forever. Then Significantly Less.
ScreenCloud has no free plan, only a time-limited trial. Its entry annual price is $24 per screen per month. InfoSlides gives you one screen free with no expiry and no credit card, and its first paid tier starts at €9 per screen per month. For a 5-screen deployment, that is a saving of over €800 per year at entry tier pricing.
Architecture
A Live Stream. Not an App Playlist.
ScreenCloud pushes content to devices via its player app. InfoSlides outputs your content as a live HLS video stream. The same protocol used for live TV. Any screen with an HLS-capable browser receives it directly. Content updates reach every screen at the same time, and no player app locks you in.
Features Included
Live Data and Analytics Without the Paywall
ScreenCloud charges enterprise rates for deeper analytics and some integrations require separate subscriptions. InfoSlides includes schedule-aware playback reporting, Google Reviews slides, and all live data adapters in the plan price, with no add-on fees.
AI
AI That Makes the Slide and Follows Your Brand
InfoSlides includes AI Studio on Starter and higher plans: describe a slide, speak it, photograph a printed board, paste a URL, or upload a spreadsheet and get a finished, on-brand slide. You preview every slide before it goes live. Once an admin confirms a brand guide, AI Studio and connected agents use its colors, fonts and logos, and an agent can propose guide changes as a draft that a person confirms.

Price
The Cost of Entry, and What Comes With It
ScreenCloud's Core plan is $24 per screen per month on annual billing. For a 10-screen deployment that is $240/month or $2,880/year. InfoSlides' Professional plan is €29/month for up to 25 screens, so 10 screens costs €29/month total, not per screen. That is a significant difference for any business running more than two or three displays.
ScreenCloud also has no free plan. When your trial ends, every screen stops working until you subscribe. InfoSlides gives you one screen free permanently, so your slides keep playing whether or not you ever subscribe. Paid plans start at €9 per month and add the live-data slides (weather, alerts, road conditions, news, Google Reviews) that make a screen update itself without anyone touching it.
InfoSlides Professional: €23.20/month total
(up to 25 screens in one plan)
ScreenCloud Core: $240/month
($24 × 10 screens)
Analytics
Knowing What Your Screens Are Doing
ScreenCloud offers proof-of-play analytics, but the deeper metrics are locked behind the Enterprise tier. Knowing whether a screen was on, what it was playing, and whether it matched the intended schedule requires an Enterprise subscription.
InfoSlides includes schedule-aware playback reporting at every paid tier. The report shows per-device uptime, health status (online, offline, idle), and expected vs. actual content, so a hotel operations manager or restaurant owner can verify their screens ran as scheduled without paying enterprise rates for that visibility.
InfoSlides vs ScreenCloud: Common Questions
Does ScreenCloud have a free plan?
No. ScreenCloud is paid from the first screen, at $24 per screen per month for Core and $36 for Pro on annual billing, verified against ScreenCloud's own pricing page on 26 August 2026. InfoSlides has a permanently free single-screen plan.
Is InfoSlides cheaper across several screens?
At ScreenCloud's published rates, ten screens costs $2,400 to $2,880 a year. Compare that against the InfoSlides pricing page, which shows the current per-screen cost and a worked example for the same number of screens.
What does ScreenCloud do better?
ScreenCloud has a larger app marketplace and a longer enterprise track record, including SSO and dedicated support tiers. If you need a specific third-party integration from its catalogue, check that InfoSlides has an adapter for it before switching.
Can I use my existing TVs with either?
Both work with standard smart TVs and streaming devices. InfoSlides pairs a screen with a six-character code and ships native LG webOS and Android TV apps; Samsung's own app is awaiting store approval, so Samsung TVs pair through the browser instead. No extra hardware is needed for any of them.
