Six new products, plus Fusion Signage, GarlicSignage and Signital updates

Six products joined the directory, all suggested by the community, and a seventh suggestion turned out to be a listing that needed updating rather than a new entry.

Two are conventional cloud CMSs at opposite ends of the market. SignageStack sells one plan with everything in it at EUR 11 per screen. GlücksCast, from a Nuremberg IT shop, offers a self-hosted licence alongside its hosted plans.

Two are built for a single trade. DopeCast does cannabis dispensary menu boards, with direct POS integrations that pull prices and stock every few minutes, and CedMenu designs restaurant menu boards to order and ships them on Android player boxes.

The last two are priced unlike anything else in the directory. Better Signage charges for storage instead of screens, so every plan from the free 50 MB tier upwards carries unlimited Apple TVs. RedSquare charges nothing at all: venues install a free player, approve what plays, and set a price per 10-second slot, and the platform takes a cut of each booking instead of a subscription.

Signital was already listed, but the suggestion that arrived with it carried enough detail to fill the entry out: a founding year, the Raspberry Pi, BrightSign and browser players that were missing from the platform list, the Enterprise tier, the volume pricing that starts at five screens, and a published screen count from its Samkaup and Olís deployments.

Two updates came in as pull requests from the people who build the products. Fusion Signage migrated its website, so its documentation link and news feed had both gone stale; the same change brings its pricing up to the current AUD plans and records its ISO 27001 certification. GarlicSignage was filed as cloud software, which undersold it: it is a self-hosted AGPL suite, a SMIL player plus the garlic-hub CMS, either of which can be deployed on its own.
