Per-shop or per-screen pricing: which costs less?
With per-screen pricing, every extra TV adds to your bill. OutDeck plans are priced by how many shops you run, and each shop includes a set number of screens. Enter your shops and screens to see your monthly cost on OutDeck, and the per-screen price another plan would need to beat.

How does per-shop pricing work?
You choose a plan by how many shops you run. Each plan includes a number of shops, a set number of screens in each shop, and media storage for the whole account. Adding a screen inside that limit does not change your price. Moving to a plan for more shops or more storage does.
Per-screen pricing works the other way: you pay a set amount for every screen, so the bill grows with each TV you add.
When does a per-screen plan cost less?
With only one or two screens, a per-screen plan can cost less. To check, divide the OutDeck plan price by your number of screens. If the per-screen price you were quoted is lower than that, the per-screen plan costs less for that setup.
The more screens each shop has, the lower the OutDeck price per screen becomes, because the plan price stays the same.
Ways to run shop screens, side by side
Scroll the table sideways to see USB sticks, a one-time hardware buyout and a per-screen subscription.
| Question | OutDeck | USB sticks | One-time hardware buyout | Per-screen subscription |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How the price works | A plan priced by how many shops you run, paid monthly or yearly. | No subscription. The cost is your time and travel. | One upfront payment for players and software. | A set amount for each screen, every month or year. |
| Adding a screen to a shop | No change in your plan price, up to the screens your plan includes per shop. A screen can be an Android TV, TV box, tablet, phone or Windows PC, and a TV that is not Android also needs an Android TV box. | Another stick to copy and carry. | Another player to buy. | Your bill goes up for each screen. |
| Changing what plays | From a web dashboard, for one screen, a group or a whole shop. Edit a shared playlist once to change it in every shop. | Copy new files and plug the stick into each TV. | Depends on the product. | Depends on the product. |
| Changing content by time of day | Built in: dates, days of the week and daily time windows, even past midnight. | Only by changing the files by hand. | Depends on the product. | Depends on the product. |
| When the internet drops | Screens keep playing what they have saved, then catch up when the connection is back. | Not affected, because nothing is online. | Depends on the product. | Depends on the product. |
| Trying it first | A free demo with 1 shop and 1 screen, no card required. | Nothing to try. | Depends on the seller. | Depends on the product. |
| Paying in Ringgit | Yes. Bills in RM, paid online through Billplz, for example FPX online banking. | Not applicable. | Depends on the seller. | Depends on the product. |
Pricing comparison questions
What does per-shop pricing mean for digital signage?
You pay by how many shops you run, not by how many screens. Each plan includes a set number of screens in each shop, so adding a TV inside that limit does not change your bill.
Is the calculator price what I will actually pay?
It uses our current plan prices, including any sale while it lasts. It does not include the cost of TVs, Android TV boxes, tablets or installation. Your exact price is shown at checkout before you pay.
What if I have more shops or screens than the calculator allows?
Larger setups get a custom quote. Email hello@outdeck.app with how many shops you run and how many screens are in each shop.
Does paying yearly cost less?
Yes. Paying yearly saves up to 8% compared with paying monthly for a year. The calculator shows both.
