Fugo

The yodeck alternative built for flexible, reliable signage

Looking for a Yodeck alternative? Fugo runs on the hardware you already own — Fire TV, the Amazon Signage Stick, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Windows and more — with Design Studio, live dashboards on any TV, remote multi-site management, uptime monitoring and recovery, SOC 2 Type II and simple per-screen pricing.

Why look for a Yodeck alternative

Start with what matters to your screens

We like Yodeck — it is a capable, hardware-flexible product. Teams usually come to Fugo when they need three things at once: freedom to run on the hardware they already have, live data on the screen, and screens that stay up without a site visit. Where we are unsure of a Yodeck detail, we say so.

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

  • Put live Power BI, Tableau and Grafana dashboards straight on the TV.

  • 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.

Live dashboards on any TV

Put Power BI, Tableau, Grafana, Looker, Salesforce and more on a screen and keep them refreshing automatically. No screenshots, no manual updates. Available on the Core plan and up.

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 your problem to drive to.

Yodeck alternative FAQs

Is Fugo a good alternative to yodeck?

Yes. Fugo and Yodeck both let you run digital signage on hardware you already own, build content with a drag-and-drop editor and templates, and manage screens from the cloud. Fugo goes further on live TV dashboards and how their credentials are handled, remote uptime recovery, built-in AI, and SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance. We also keep a detailed breakdown of Yodeck’s pricing, plans and hidden fees if you want the numbers first. The best fit depends on what matters most to you — book a 15-minute demo and we will walk through your setup.

What hardware does Fugo run on?

Fugo runs on hardware you already own — Amazon Fire TV and the Signage Stick, Android media players and TV boxes, Samsung Tizen and SSSP displays, LG webOS displays (no external player needed), Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and ChromeOS. If you would rather buy a ready-to-go player, the Fugo NUC and Fugo Chromebox arrive set up. See the hardware options for the full list.

Does Fugo require its own player like yodeck?

No. Fugo does not require a specific player. It runs on smart TV displays with a built-in SoC (Samsung Tizen, LG webOS) and on common media players. Yodeck is also hardware-flexible and sells its own Raspberry Pi based Yodeck Player — check yodeck.com for its current device list.

How much does Fugo cost compared to yodeck?

Fugo is priced per screen: Essential from $20, Core from $30 and Enterprise from $40 per screen a month on annual billing, with monthly billing available on Essential and Core — see the pricing page for current plans. Yodeck lists Basic at $8, Premium at $12 and Enterprise at $16 per screen a month, plus $79–$119 per player (included with annual plans). Our own breakdown of Yodeck’s plans and add-on costs is in Yodeck pricing, plans and hidden fees. Pricing changes, so confirm both on the live pricing pages before you decide.

Can I show live dashboards on a TV with Fugo?

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.

How does Fugo handle my dashboard login details?

Fugo connects to a dashboard through a read-only service account and API token rather than your own login. The token is stored encrypted, and only the rendered dashboard image is sent to the screen — no raw queries, credentials or editable data sit on the device. Other platforms take different approaches: Yodeck asks for the dashboard account email and password directly. We wrote up how each platform does this in our Grafana on a TV guide.

Is Fugo secure enough for enterprise?

Fugo is SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 and HIPAA compliant. Role-based permissions and separate spaces are available on every plan, and single sign-on (SAML, Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) plus audit logs are included on Enterprise. Yodeck concentrates its security suite — SSO, IP whitelisting, encrypted player storage and audit logs — on its Enterprise tier too.

When is yodeck a better fit than Fugo?

If the lowest possible entry price for straightforward playlists is your main constraint, Yodeck is hard to beat at $8 per screen a month with a Raspberry Pi player included on annual plans. It also has a far larger public review base than we do. If you need live dashboards without handing over dashboard passwords, remote uptime recovery, built-in AI, on-premise dashboards or HIPAA, that is where teams tend to choose Fugo. Worth knowing: both platforms have a free single screen — Yodeck’s tests one screen without a player, and Fugo’s is one watermarked screen you can keep for the life of the account.
