OptiSigns’ $10 headline is only the Standard rate. For three screens, monthly billing rises from $30 on Standard to $45 on Pro Plus and $90 on Engage. Include required integrations when choosing the plan, alongside the player budget.
Kinosign makes a competing product, so weigh our view with that in mind.
Vendor pages checked November 2026. This compares documented plans, not hands-on test results.
Price the qualifying plan for three screens
Count a specials board, pizza menu and drinks screen as three screens. The table shows both payment choices because an annual monthly equivalent is not the amount collected each month.
| Plan | Per screen/month, monthly billing | Three screens, monthly billing | Per screen/month, annual billing | Three screens, annual charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $10 | $30 | $9 | $324 |
| Pro | $12.50 | $37.50 | $11.25 | $405 |
| Pro Plus | $15 | $45 | $13.50 | $486 |
| Engage | $30 | $90 | $27 | $972 |
| Enterprise | $45 | Not a three-screen purchase | $40.50 | 25-screen minimum applies |
The totals below use rates from the official pricing page. Tax, players and add-ons sit outside these software calculations.
At the published 25-screen minimum, Enterprise works out to $1,125/month on monthly billing, or $12,150/year at the annual list rate. A three-screen operator should not budget $135/month by multiplying Enterprise’s rate by three.
Minimum 25 screens
OptiSigns Free restricts device types and file sizes
OptiSigns Free lists up to three screens, 25 basic apps and 1GB storage. The display carries the OptiSigns logo. Its plan table restricts devices to OptiSigns devices, Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi.
There are content limits too: the page lists free playlists limited to 30 items and 200MB. Check the required files against those limits before treating free as the finished restaurant setup.
Free could cover a small eligible installation. It is not a universal free offer for any three TVs or streaming sticks. Read the device row alongside the screen count.
Buy the features you will use
Standard lists Designer, scheduling, playlists and split-screen zones. That is the paid starting point to examine for finished menus and recurring offers. The card lists email support.
Pro lists roles, folder security, approval workflow and proof of play. Pro Plus lists Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace connections, secured websites, dashboards and OptiSync data mapping. Engage adds interactive features and Live TV Ads Overlay. These are documented inclusions on the pricing page, not features independently tested for this article.
For a three-screen restaurant, moving from Standard to Pro Plus adds $15/month on monthly billing, or $162/year on annual billing. Ask whether you need a connected source or can maintain exported files. Include the cost of any work the cheaper plan leaves to staff.
Separate the optional add-ons
The same pricing page lists these extras. The annual column uses the annual discounted monthly equivalent; confirm how the add-on attaches to your subscription before checkout.
| Add-on | USD monthly-billing rate | USD annual-billing monthly equivalent | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Video Wall | $25 | $22.50 | Per video wall/month |
| Background music | $15 | $13.50 | Per screen/month |
| Wireless Presentation | $20 | $18 | Per screen/month |
| Ads Portal | Contact vendor | Contact vendor | Confirm scope and quote |
For example, Standard on three monthly-billed screens is $30. Adding background music to all three at the published monthly rate adds $45, making a $75/month software and add-on subtotal. The add-on costs more than the base signage plan in that example.
Ask for the exact covered service and any separate rights or usage conditions. Keep TV content, audio and screen management on separate quote lines so you can compare them properly.
Add the player and installation cost
The pricing FAQ lists Android, Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi among player options, and recommends OptiSigns hardware for compatibility. Do not turn that recommendation into a claim that proprietary hardware is mandatory for every paid setup.
Player pricing is separate from the software arithmetic above. Ask for the model, quantity, shipping and tax in a hardware quote. Reusing existing equipment is worth checking, but compatibility needs the exact model rather than just the words Android or smart TV.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid term
The OptiSigns terms of use say you can cancel through your account and that cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term. Do not budget an annual subscription as though canceling halfway through guarantees a prorated refund.
Save the agreement, renewal date and cancellation confirmation. Our digital signage contract checklist gives you the questions to ask before paying.
When OptiSigns’ devices and features fit the restaurant
Stay if its free plan fits your devices, or its connected sources, approvals or interactive features earn the paid tier. Standard is the relevant comparison when you only upload menus and schedule them.
Compare the $30 bill with a smaller menu offer
Kinosign is pre-launch. Its draft pricing keeps the first three screens free, then charges $6 per extra screen/month: $0/month for three screens. The planned allowance is 30 AI menu makeovers a month on the free plan, plus 30 more for each paid screen. Hardware, taxes and an optional live TV channel add-on are separate.
Read the pricing and launch device scope. For the design itself, upload a PDF exported from Canva or Google Docs to the free menu maker. It reads the file in your browser, lets you check the items and redraws them as a Kinosign design, with no account needed.
