Free digital signage solutions may seem like a great deal for a business that doesn’t want to go bust on tech but if you take a closer look you see that the real value lies in long term. Let’s take a deep dive into a free vs. paid dilemma and see what works best for you. 

When we talk about marketing, there are almost unlimited ways your company can approach it. It is a big word that is much broader than the mere question “to spend or not to spend”. Also, naturally, there are many solutions that are free and many that are not. For an owner allocating costs to one or the other marketing option can be quite hard without researching the inner workings of each. 

Another question that should be asked is “will it work for my business?”. Sure, all these promotional videos look good and the promise is an increase of sales, but who the heck to implement it and make it work. That can be the case of your relationship with digital signage. On one hand, it seems like a great thing to have. On the other hand, all the technical lingo doesn’t make implementing any easier. 

Choosing the best free digital signage solution

So you’ve read some things about the benefits of digital signage and you are thinking about having it at your store. Now it’s time to choose the right application. And you see that there are myriads of them promising a lot for not much. You are tempted to pick up the first one showing up in Google Search because making digital signage work isn’t that much of a deal. Stop right there. Let us guide you through this process to save you money on unsuccessful free digital signage solutions. 

We would like to make one thing clear: nothing is free on the internet. Especially when it comes to software. 

Why? Because developing good digital signage software takes time, talent, and resources. Developing the best one takes lots of it. We are talking about programming, testing, design, customer support, making sure it runs 24/7. None of it miraculously appears. Every part of it is a result of hard, calculated work. 

When the company promises you a fully free solution, there are several things to look out for. You have to clearly understand what part of the word “free” you’re paying for. Here are the things to take closer attention to: 

1) privacy 

We can’t overstate the importance of having your data duly protected. When you are using the digital signage solution for free, this may also mean that you’re sacrificing your personal information for the benefit of the “0-dollar” solution. 

2) freemium

While searching for a free digital signage solution you are guaranteed to encounter many companies offering a freemium model when the free version is very limited and the paid one has all the perks. 

3) limited functionality

These digital signage solutions are free but their functionality is far from perfect. If you’re looking for a professional option with constant support and reliability these applications shouldn’t be your choice as you will have problems using them in the long run. 

So we are coming to the most important question: what is the best free digital signage solution?

In short, our answer will be: the one that perfectly suits your business. Implementing digital signage into your marketing plan is a long-term solution. What it means in practice is that if you choose the right one in the beginning it will save you nerves and money afterward. On the other hand, if you decide to go with a privacy-infringing or limited solution right at the start, as time goes by it will come back knocking with lots of stress and losses. So our advice would be to carefully do your research and go for the well-regarded leader solutions there are on the market. 

Choosing the free cloud-based digital signage solutions

FAQ

How do I activate the Kitcast free trial option?

It’s all very easy: sign up here, no credit card necessary. Then you’re getting a Kitcast free trial for your business.

Why should I try out the free trial instead of going with the free options?

The free trial allows you to have the power of enterprise-level digital signage tailored for the needs of your business. It’s reliable and it’s destined for long-term gain. Completely free digital signage solutions lack functionality and have privacy issues so “free” can become a huge headache in the long run. Of course, all of it depends on the needs of your business and the content strategy you’re pursuing.

What is the pricing of Kitcast after the free trial?

You can use our transparent pricing tool to calculate the costs.
