Mediasignage is US digital signage software from 2008 (Los Angeles) whose underlying architecture was historically built on Adobe Flash and AIR technology. Pricing is in dollars: mediaCLOUD Plus+ $3/screen/month (~€2.75/screen/month) and Enterprise from $19/month. There is no Finnish-language interface or support, and no public Finnish customers are documented.
InfoBox is a Finnish cloud platform founded in 2024 that runs directly on Android TVs and in the browser. The price is €9/screen/month (1–9 screens) or €7/screen/month (10+ screens), billed annually in euros, with 400+ Finnish customers and a GDPR-compliant Google Cloud Finland region. On software price alone, Mediasignage is about three times cheaper (5 screens for a year ~€166 compared with InfoBox's €540), but the comparison is not like for like: the Plus+ plan does not include Power BI, Lounastaja, Sitedrive, SharePoint, Google Drive or Canva integrations, support in Finnish, EU data location or EUR billing.
Mediasignage's strengths are its long history (more than 18 years) and low starting price. The mediaCLOUD software is available as a permanent free version for three screens, and the Plus+ plan costs $3/screen/month (~€2.75). Database connectors for SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle are genuine built-in widgets. Hughes Network Systems acts as a North American OEM partner and offers turnkey installations and field service in the US market.
InfoBox's strengths are a modern, continuously updated platform and knowledge of the Finnish market. The cloud digital signage platform runs directly on Android TVs (Sony, Philips, TCL, Vestel, Maxhub, Hisense and other Android TV brands) with no extra device. The interface is in Finnish, customer service is in Finnish and founder Kasper Välimäki can be reached directly. Ready-made integrations with Power BI, Lounastaja, Sitedrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Canva, Google Slides, Sinebrychoff ContentHub and YouTube are included for every screen. 400+ Finnish customers in eight industries.
On software alone, the price comparison favours Mediasignage by about three times. Annual price for 5 screens: Mediasignage Plus+ about €166 ($3 × 5 × 12 = $180 at ~0.92 USD/EUR), InfoBox €540 (€9 × 5 × 12). The gap grows as the number of screens grows, but Mediasignage's Plus+ plan does not include proof-of-play reporting, branding, permission roles, kiosk mode or POS integrations. All of these are locked to the Enterprise plan (from $19/month plus pricing that scales with the number of screens). On top of that, billing comes from a US company in USD, which brings currency risk and raises a US CLOUD Act question for Finnish data protection.
