Signagelive Alternative
One public price and a sign-up form, instead of finding a partner to quote you.
Signagelive is a UK-based digital signage CMS, and it is now part of Navori Labs, which announced the acquisition in August 2025. It is known for running directly on system-on-chip displays: its support documentation covers Samsung Tizen and LG webOS screens, BrightSign players, ChromeOS devices and Windows. According to the announcement, it sells exclusively through channel partners, so you buy it, and usually the hardware and installation, from a reseller or integrator.
How CastWize is different
CastWize is sold directly, with the price on the website: every screen is $5 per month with every feature included. There is no reseller, no quote and no contract, and your first screen is free for 30 days with no credit card. The player runs on Android TV boxes, Windows and Mac computers, Linux machines and Raspberry Pi, so you can set up a screen yourself with hardware from any electronics shop.

Who this fits
If you run a large estate of Samsung or LG signage displays with no external player, and you want an integrator to install and support it, Signagelive's system-on-chip support and partner network are real strengths. If you run a handful of screens and would rather set them up yourself, with a price you can see before you sign up, CastWize fits better. Agencies can also run each client's screens in a separate workspace on one bill.
Everything included at $5 per screen
No tier unlocks any of this — every screen gets all of it:
- Images, video, text, webpages, YouTube, live streams, and Google Docs, Sheets and Slides
- Live widgets: weather, clock, countdowns, news feeds, QR codes
- Multi-zone layouts and video walls
- Scheduling by day, time and date, plus ad cycles
- Queue management: a take-a-number kiosk and a live "Now serving" display
- Clients: separate workspaces for each business you run screens for, on one bill
- Media Library with folders and one-click Google Drive import
- Remote screenshot and refresh, plus reboot on Android
- Alerts by email, Slack and webhook
- Analytics with CSV and PDF export
- Audit log, API keys, Google sign-in and two-factor authentication
How to switch from Signagelive
Most single-location setups move over in an afternoon, without taking a screen dark:
- Download the images and videos you use from Signagelive, or keep them in Google Drive.
- Create a CastWize account and add them to the Media Library — upload them, or import straight from Google Drive.
- Install the CastWize player on a device you already have — Android, Windows, macOS, Linux or Raspberry Pi. If your current player only runs Signagelive's software, a budget Android TV box works.
- Pair the screen, then rebuild your playlists and schedules. Preview shows exactly what each screen will play.
- Run both side by side on one screen for a few days, then move the rest and cancel the old plan.
Your first screen is free for 30 days with no credit card, so you can do the whole trial run before paying anything.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to Signagelive?
If you'd rather buy signage software directly than through a reseller, CastWize is one option: $5 per screen per month with every feature included, on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux or Raspberry Pi devices, and your first screen free for 30 days with no credit card.
Is Signagelive part of Navori now?
Yes. Navori Labs announced its acquisition of Signagelive in August 2025. Signagelive's own page says existing customers keep their product, login and workflows unchanged. Check with your partner or with Navori for anything that affects your contract.
Can CastWize run on my Samsung or LG signage display?
Not directly. CastWize does not have an app for Samsung Tizen or LG webOS displays. You plug an Android TV box, a small Windows or Linux PC, a Mac or a Raspberry Pi into the display's HDMI port, and that device is the player.
How long does it take to switch from Signagelive?
Most single-location setups move over in an afternoon: move your media, install the CastWize player, pair the screen, rebuild playlists and schedules, and run both side by side before cancelling.
