Screenly
Screenly
The commercial product from the team behind Anthias, built on Raspberry Pi.
Screenly documents Raspberry Pi as its player hardware, and that is what is recorded here. If you need a different player, confirm it with the vendor rather than reading this list as exhaustive. How entries are researched.
Screenly is the paid counterpart to Anthias, the open source project the same company maintains. It started in 2012 as a side project driving a few signs from Raspberry Pi hardware and became a managed cloud service, which is still the shape of it: you buy the hosting, the device management and the support rather than run your own. The entry plan is capped at five screens, and the step up to unlimited screens is where the price per screen actually settles.
