Pickcel
Pickcel
Per-device pricing published openly, across an unusually wide player list.
The 14-day trial is a trial, not a free tier: it gives full Professional features and then ends. Pickcel's pricing page renders its figures several seconds after the page loads, so a plain fetch of it returns plan features with no prices attached; the figures here were read from the rendered page. How entries are researched.
A cloud platform that puts its price on the page, which in this category is still the exception: $13.50 per device per month for the Professional plan and $22.50 for Business, with a discount for paying annually. It runs on Android and Windows players and on the built-in system of most commercial smart displays, and the vendor claims 50-plus device types in total, so an existing estate of screens usually does not need replacing. The editor is built in, with imports from Canva, Google Slides and PowerPoint, multi-zone layouts and a template library. Dayparting handles the breakfast-to-dinner menu switch on its own, and campaigns can be given start and end dates so a promotion expires without anyone remembering to remove it. The player keeps playing offline. The free offer is a 14-day trial of the Professional plan, not a standing free tier.
