Juuno
Simple $5 signage—with updated Play plan math
Juuno is a beautifully simple, budget alternative to Play Digital Signage from about $5 per screen. Strong Canva-oriented workflows—just know some competitor posts still list Play at $18, while Play's public tiers are about $8 / $12 / $16, and Growth gates proof of play and priority support.
Play vs Juuno
Every project is different, so Juuno may win for some teams while Play wins for others. Juuno markets simple signage from about $5 per screen and has listed Play at $18 in some roundups. This page is a fairer read on Business / Growth / White Label packaging ($5 / $9 / agency bundles), Canva versus in-product editing, hardware caveats, support, and how those stack against Play's Essential / Pro / Ultimate plans (about $8 / $12 / $16)—so you can decide with the same checklist on both sides.
Pricing
Both sit in the budget digital signage range. The real gap is packaging—and which sticker each vendor quotes for the other.
Juuno's competitor posts have stated that Play charges $18 per screen per month (for example on Juuno's Scala alternatives article). Play's public site shows Essential / Pro / Ultimate in the ~$8 / $12 / $16 band—not an $18 list price. Using $18 as "the Play price" inflates Play by more than double versus Essential.
Public Juuno plans on juuno.co/pricing: Business $5/screen/mo; Growth $9/screen/mo (proof of play, sequences, priority support; some items marked "Soon" such as advanced roles / API); White Label $100/mo including 20 screens, then $5/screen; Enterprise custom. Trial: pricing page advertises 7 days free (some blog posts say 14—confirm on signup day).
Apples-to-apples: Juuno Business ($5) to Play Essential (~$8); Growth ($9) to Play Pro (~$12); Growth plus Enterprise path to Play Ultimate (~$16). Matching Juuno Business to Play Ultimate is the same trap as Yodeck's tables.
Juuno offers a short free trial—not a free-forever production screen. Play's first screen can be free forever after an approved review within 30 days and chat confirmation. Play FAQ: no limit on storage or traffic. Confirm Juuno storage caps on current plan docs.
When "$5 Juuno" stops being the whole story: proof of play, priority support, and sequences sit on Growth ($9). Advanced user roles and API appeared as "Soon" at research time—verify before procurement. White-label economics are excellent for agencies; they are a different product than a single cafe screen.
Learn moreSupport
Busy operators care who answers when a lobby screen goes dark.
Juuno: in-app/support chat and email culture; Growth includes priority support. Capterra themes are often positive on helpfulness; some reviewers note response time can vary when help is urgent. Play's prior testing note: we could not reach a human immediately and waited hours—one experience, not a universal SLA.
Play: live chat 24/7/365 plus phone business hours (Play pricing FAQ).
Juuno's knowledge/help and founder presence on Reddit are real positives for SMBs. If you need guaranteed weekend coverage, compare published Play 24/7 chat to Juuno's priority tier during trial—not homepage adjectives.
Learn moreContent Development
Content quality decides whether screens get ignored or drive action.
Juuno strengths: playlist-style simplicity; apps library; native-style Canva, Google Slides, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, PowerPoint paths; overlays/zones on Business; sequences on Growth. Ideal when design already lives in Canva.
Play includes a cloud slide/page content editor so non-designers build layouts with text, media, zones, and plugins (weather, social, Power BI, CAP, and more) without leaving the product. Juuno is stronger as "connect the tools you already use"; Play is stronger as "edit inside the CMS."
Fair claim: not "Juuno has no way to make content." It is: Juuno emphasizes playlists plus integrations; Play emphasizes an all-in-one editor plus playlists.
Compatibility
A digital signage stack is software plus player plus screen.
Juuno runs on browser-capable TVs/players and emphasizes Amazon Signage Stick, with paths for Chromecast/Onn/Android and related devices. Juuno's own team has publicly said consumer Fire TVs are not great for signage when users report lag, and Fire Sticks lack auto-restart into the app for timed TV power-ups.
That honesty is good—and it means the viral "$5 plus any cheap stick" setup can disappoint on low-end hardware.
Play is built around broad BYO: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, Fire / Signage Stick, Chrome players, BrightSign, Tizen, webOS, and more. Same industry advice applies: test 72 hours on the real player. Play simply does not steer you into one stick generation to start.
Learn moreTeams
Both advertise unlimited users. Juuno Business includes users/playlists; advanced user roles were listed as Soon on Growth at research time—confirm live. White Label adds reseller multi-client control.
Play: multi-user, roles, sub-teams, sharing are core; analytics and audit-style tools scale to Ultimate. If governance is required on day one, compare shipping features on both matrices—not roadmap labels.

What We Learned After Juuno's $18 Play Claim
Testing the Juuno Digital Signage Customer Experience Here at Play Digital Signage, we know every digital signage company feels different until you try it. We signed up, poked the UI, tested support, and read the plan matrix the way a buyer would.
What we liked: a true budget Business tier at $5 with a clean playlist mental model; strong Canva / social / slides integrations for non-designers; a white-label tier agencies can explain; candid hardware guidance (Fire limitations) from the team in public forums.
What held us back relative to Play: public Juuno content framing Play at $18 is not apples-to-apples with Play's ~$8-$16 plans; editor depth favors integrations over Play's native slide/page builder; some Growth capabilities still roadmap-tagged—verify before procurement; trial is short, not a free-forever production screen; low-end Fire/TV browser lag reports mean hardware choice still decides reliability.
Who should pick which: Choose Juuno if you want the lowest simple paid sticker, love Canva-centric content, may resell via white-label, and accept a playlist/apps-first CMS with a short trial. Choose Play if you want a built-in cloud slide/page editor, mature multi-location teams, Mac and wide commercial BYO players, and 24/7 live chat—with entry pricing closer to $8, not $18.
If you arrived from a Juuno blog that listed Play at $18, open playsignage.com/pricing beside juuno.co/pricing, run the same checklist on both trials (editor, two locations, weekend support hypothetical, exact PoP/roles needs), and decide from that—not from a roundup sticker.
