Castit as a Yodeck alternative
Yodeck and Castit both run screens from the cloud. Yodeck suits a team that signs up online and runs a few screens itself, with prices per screen on its website. Castit suits organizations that want certified partners to install and support their screens, with e-paper displays on the same dashboard.
Yodeck in brief
Yodeck describes itself as the easiest way to share content on screens. It is a cloud service: its content management system is hosted only on Yodeck's own servers.
Its own player is a pre-configured Raspberry Pi, and it lists Android, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Windows, BrightSign, and Amazon devices among its other players. Yodeck publishes its prices per screen, offers a free plan for a single screen, and lists offline playback, an interactive kiosk app, and reseller and white-label programs among its features.

What Castit brings
Castit is built to be delivered and supported by partners, and to cover more of the building than the screens.
- Certified partners scope the setup, install the screens, and come on site, with Castit behind them for second-line support.
- Wireless e-paper displays, for meeting-room doors, shelf edges, and the places a screen can't go, are managed from the same dashboard as the screens.
- Castit is part of GuideLites, whose platform also handles visitor registration and meeting-room booking, so one partner can deliver all three.
When Yodeck may suit you better
If you want to sign up online, run a few screens yourself, and see the price per screen before you talk to anyone, Yodeck is set up for exactly that.
Its prices are on its website and its single-screen plan is free. Castit's free plan, Essential, is self-serve too: 21 days of the complete product on up to ten players, then one player that keeps running for free. Castit's Professional plan is priced on request, and partner-delivered setups are scoped in a demo or with a certified partner.
Questions to ask both
The answers matter more than any feature list, so put the same questions to each.
- Who installs the screens, and who comes on site when one fails?
- Does it run on the screens and players you already own?
- What happens when the network drops, and for how long do screens keep playing?
- Do you need e-paper, room booking, or visitor registration on the same contract?
- Which features, such as proof of play, are on which plan?
Castit and Yodeck: common questions
Can I start with Castit for free, as with Yodeck's free plan?
Yes. Castit Essential starts with 21 days of the complete product on up to ten players, with no credit card. After that one player license stays free for as long as you like, with up to 5 items per screen, up to 30 seconds per item, and the Clock, Weather, and PDF Viewer apps. Yodeck's free plan covers a single screen. See what Essential includes.
How is Castit priced, next to Yodeck?
Castit is licensed per player. Essential keeps one player free, Professional is priced on request, and a partner-delivered setup, with installation, certified hardware, and on-site support, is quoted for your project. Yodeck publishes its prices per screen on its website. See Castit's plans.
Does Castit run on Raspberry Pi?

Can I keep my screens if I move from Yodeck?
