Qmanja Signage vs ScreenCloud
Two cloud digital signage platforms, compared only on things you can check for yourself: what each one costs per screen, which players it runs on, and how it handles offline playback, split-screen, video walls and proof-of-play. Every ScreenCloud figure below was read from ScreenCloud's own pricing page or help centre, and the sources are listed at the bottom.
The comparison at a glance
Where a claim could not be confirmed on ScreenCloud's own pages, the row says so rather than guessing.
| Dimension | Qmanja Signage | ScreenCloud |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 1 screen with 200 MB storage, free forever, no credit card | No permanently free plan listed. Fourteen-day free trial, with a three-screen and twenty-user limit during the trial |
| Entry paid price | $6.99 per screen per month, or $4.99 per screen per month billed yearly | Core: $20 per screen per month + VAT |
| Higher tiers | Business, by quote, for deployments of 20+ screens | Pro: $30 per screen per month + VAT. Enterprise: custom pricing |
| Pricing model | Per screen, per month | Per screen, per month |
| Media storage | 200 MB on the free tier | Unlimited file storage listed from Core upwards |
| Players available today | Any web browser, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Windows | Android, Amazon Fire OS, Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS Signage, BrightSign |
| Players in development | macOS, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS are in development. iOS/iPadOS is in review | Not applicable — the platforms listed above already ship |
| Browser-based player | Supported on any web browser | A web player exists, but ScreenCloud's help centre says it does not recommend it as your digital signage solution |
| Offline playback | Media cached on the device; the last published schedule keeps playing through an outage | Most content is cached and keeps playing. Streaming apps such as YouTube, Vimeo and live news do not cache and are skipped |
| Split-screen | Split-screen layouts, included on paid plans | Zone layouts set per channel, with preset layouts plus custom zones through the CSS editor |
| Video wall | Synced video walls, included on paid plans | Multiple-display output on Windows media players in extended desktop mode. A video wall controller may be used with other devices |
| Proof-of-play | Included on paid plans | Available. ScreenCloud's help centre describes it as a premium add-on that requires an upgraded plan, and the pricing page lists proof-of-play logs under Pro |
| Credit card to start a trial | Not required | Check with vendor — not stated on the pricing or trial pages we checked |

Where ScreenCloud is stronger
A comparison page that finds nothing good to say about the other product is not worth reading. These are the areas where ScreenCloud's own documentation shows a clear advantage today.
More platforms shipping today
ScreenCloud's device requirements page lists macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS Signage and BrightSign alongside Android, Fire OS and Windows. Several of those are still in development at Qmanja, so if you have already bought Tizen or webOS panels, ScreenCloud runs on them now.
A large app catalogue
ScreenCloud's pricing page lists 80+ apps and integrations on Core, with premium apps, dashboards and QR code metrics added on Pro. If your content depends on pulling from a long tail of third-party tools, that catalogue is a real advantage.
Unlimited file storage
ScreenCloud lists unlimited file storage from the Core plan upwards. Qmanja's free tier is capped at 200 MB, so a large video library is something to size up before you commit either way.
Where Qmanja Signage differs
Three differences that show up on the invoice or in the feature list, not in the marketing.
A free tier, not a countdown
Qmanja's free plan is one screen with 200 MB of storage, free forever, with no credit card to start. ScreenCloud's equivalent is a fourteen-day trial that its help centre says cancels automatically if no payment details are added. If you want a single screen running for a small site indefinitely, that is a structural difference rather than a discount.
A lower price per screen
Both platforms charge per screen per month, so the numbers compare directly. Qmanja Pro is $6.99 per screen per month, or $4.99 billed yearly. ScreenCloud's published Core rate is $20 per screen per month plus VAT. Across twenty screens that gap is the whole reason to run the sums.
Video walls and proof-of-play on the paid plan
Split-screen layouts, synced video walls and proof-of-play are part of Qmanja's paid plans. ScreenCloud's guide limits native multiple-display output to Windows players in extended desktop mode and points to a video wall controller elsewhere, and its help centre describes proof-of-play as a premium add-on needing an upgraded plan.
Which one fits your deployment
The honest answer depends on hardware you may already own and on how much of your content comes from other systems.
ScreenCloud is the safer choice if your estate is built on commercial Samsung Tizen or LG webOS panels, ChromeOS devices, Macs, iPads or BrightSign players, because all of those are supported today. It is also the stronger option if your screens are mostly dashboards and feeds pulled from third-party tools, since that app catalogue is where most of its value sits, and if you have a large media library that would outgrow a small storage allowance.
Qmanja is the closer fit if you are running Android TV boxes, Fire TV sticks, Windows mini-PCs or a browser on a machine you already have, and you want the price per screen to stay low as the estate grows. It is also the better fit if you want one screen live permanently at no cost, or if split-screen, synced video walls and proof-of-play are things you expect in the plan rather than as an add-on.
If your rollout mixes both worlds — some Tizen panels, some Android boxes — check the current Qmanja player list before you commit, because the in-development platforms above are not available yet and should not be planned around.
How we checked this
Every ScreenCloud claim on this page was read from a page ScreenCloud publishes itself, in July 2026. Nothing was taken from a third-party review site or a competitor roundup. Where a page did not answer a question, the table says "Check with vendor" instead of filling the gap with a guess.

Qmanja Signage vs ScreenCloud, answered
How does Qmanja Signage pricing compare with ScreenCloud?
Qmanja Pro is $6.99 per screen per month, or $4.99 per screen per month billed yearly, and deployments of 20 screens or more are quoted as Business. ScreenCloud's own pricing page lists Core at $20 per screen per month plus VAT, Pro at $30 per screen per month plus VAT, and Enterprise by quote. Both platforms price per screen per month, so the comparison is like for like. Figures were read from ScreenCloud's pricing page in July 2026 — confirm the current numbers with each vendor before you budget.
Does either platform have a free plan?
Qmanja has a free tier: one screen with 200 MB of storage, free forever, with no credit card to start. ScreenCloud does not list a permanently free plan; it offers a fourteen-day free trial, and its help centre states a three-screen maximum and a twenty-user limit during that trial. If you want one screen running indefinitely at no cost, that is the clearest difference between the two.
Which player devices does each one support?
Qmanja players are live today for any web browser, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV and Windows. macOS, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS are in development, and iOS/iPadOS is in review. ScreenCloud's own device requirements page lists Android, Amazon Fire OS, Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS Signage and BrightSign as supported today. On breadth of shipping platforms, ScreenCloud is currently ahead.
Do both keep playing when the internet drops?
Both cache media on the device. Qmanja keeps playing the last published schedule through an outage and catches up when the connection returns; live streams need connectivity by nature. ScreenCloud's offline support article says most content is cached and keeps playing, but that streaming apps such as YouTube, Vimeo and live news do not cache and are skipped in the playlist. Neither platform can play a live stream without a network.
Can both drive a video wall?
Qmanja includes synced video walls on its paid plans. ScreenCloud's video wall guide says its multiple-display functionality is currently available on Windows-based media players running in extended desktop mode, and that a video wall controller may be used with other devices. If your video wall hardware is not Windows-based, check what ScreenCloud requires before you buy.
Which one should I choose?
If you need macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS or BrightSign players running today, or you want a large catalogue of third-party apps and dashboards, ScreenCloud covers more ground. If you want a screen running free indefinitely, a lower per-screen price, and split-screen, video walls and proof-of-play without a premium add-on, Qmanja is the closer fit. Trial both — neither decision has to be made on a table alone.
