Why look for a ScreenCloud alternative

Start with what matters to your screens

ScreenCloud is a polished, capable platform, and we say so. Teams usually come to Fugo when they want to reuse the hardware they already have — Raspberry Pi and Fire TV included — put live data on screens without storing dashboard passwords on the player, and keep those screens up without a site visit. Where we are unsure of a ScreenCloud detail, we say so.

  • Run on Fire TV, the Signage Stick, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Windows, Linux or a ready-made Fugo player.

  • Put live Power BI, Tableau and Grafana dashboards straight on the TV, from the Core plan up.

  • Recover a frozen screen remotely instead of driving to another building.

Where Fugo goes further

Signage that does more than play a loop

These are the capabilities teams most often move to Fugo for.

Run on hardware you already own

Fugo runs on Amazon Fire TV and the Signage Stick, Android boxes, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS displays, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and ChromeOS — no need to standardise on one player or OS.

Live dashboards from the tools you use

Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, Looker, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk and Splunk play live on your screens and keep refreshing. Included from the Core plan up, with on-premise dashboards on Enterprise.

Dashboards without handing over passwords

Fugo connects through a read-only service account and API token, stored encrypted, and sends only the rendered dashboard to the player — no dashboard passwords on the device.

Screens you can fix without a site visit

Fugo watches every screen for uptime and can recover a frozen player remotely, so a blank screen in another building is not a site visit.

Ask Fugo — built-in AI

Find content, build layouts and take actions with natural language, right inside the dashboard.

Start at any size, scale to any size

There is no screen minimum on any Fugo plan, and unlimited users and spaces come as standard — so a two-screen pilot and a 500-screen estate use the same platform.

Enterprise-ready security

Fugo is SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 and HIPAA compliant, with unlimited spaces and role-based permissions on every plan, and SSO on Enterprise.

ScreenCloud alternative FAQs

Is Fugo a good alternative to ScreenCloud?

Yes. Fugo and ScreenCloud are both cloud signage platforms with a drag-and-drop editor, templates and per-screen pricing, and the two entry plans cost the same. Fugo leans into running on the hardware you already own (including Raspberry Pi and Fire TV), how dashboard credentials are handled, remote uptime recovery, built-in AI, no screen minimums, and HIPAA compliance alongside SOC 2. We also keep a detailed breakdown of ScreenCloud’s pricing, plans and hidden fees if you want the numbers first. Book a 15-minute demo to compare against your setup.

Does Fugo work on the hardware I already have?

Yes. Fugo runs on Amazon Fire TV and the Signage Stick, Android media players, Samsung Tizen and SSSP displays, LG webOS displays (no external player needed), Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and ChromeOS. If you prefer a ready-to-go player, the Fugo NUC and Fugo Chromebox arrive set up. See the hardware options.

Can Fugo show live dashboards on my screens?

Yes. Fugo has built-in integrations for Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, Looker, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk and Splunk, so a live dashboard plays on the TV and keeps refreshing on its own. Dashboards are included from the Core plan up, and Enterprise adds on-premise and VPN-protected dashboards. See TV dashboards.

What happens if a screen goes offline?

Fugo monitors every screen for uptime and can recover a frozen player remotely, so you can spot and fix a problem from the dashboard instead of sending someone to the site.

How does Fugo pricing compare to ScreenCloud?

The two entry plans are priced the same. Fugo Essential is $24 per screen a month billed monthly, or $20 billed annually, with Core at $30 and Enterprise at $40 on annual billing — see the pricing page. ScreenCloud Core is $24 per screen a month billed monthly or $20 annually, Pro is $36 monthly or $30 annually, and Enterprise is around $40 with a 25-license minimum. The differences show up in what each tier includes and in the commitment: our ScreenCloud pricing breakdown covers their add-ons and contract terms. Pricing changes, so confirm both on the live pricing pages.

When is ScreenCloud a better fit than Fugo?

If you want an all-in-one managed player and OS from one vendor, hands-on professional services and design support, or ScreenCloud’s specific app marketplace, ScreenCloud is worth a look — it is an established platform with SOC 2 Type 2 and a large customer base. If you want to reuse hardware you already own (including Raspberry Pi and Fire TV), avoid a 25-screen minimum to reach Enterprise, show dashboards without storing dashboard passwords on the player, or need HIPAA, that is where teams tend to choose Fugo. Both platforms put BI dashboards on a mid tier and gate SSO, so compare those tiers directly.
