What to compare
| Criterion | Question to ask every vendor | Pixelplay |
|---|---|---|
| Price in India | Is pricing published in INR, per screen or per plan, and is GST extra? | ₹599–₹7,999 per month by plan, published in INR, plus 18% GST; annual billing saves 10%. |
| Free trial | Can you test with your own screens before paying? | 14 days on Standard and Professional, no credit card. |
| Hardware | Do you need the vendor’s media players, or do your screens work as they are? | Android TV, Fire TV, Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS and web-browser players; no proprietary hardware. |
| Offline playback | What do screens show when the internet drops? | Players keep playing scheduled content from the on-device cache and catch up on reconnect. |
| Update speed | How long until a change is visible on every screen? | Seconds for online screens, over a live connection; offline screens update when they reconnect. |
| Scheduling | Can content change by date, time of day and day of week, per screen or group? | Yes: date ranges, time windows, recurring days and priorities, targeted by screen, group or location tag. |
| Monitoring | Will you know when a screen stops working? | Online status, last check-in and app version per screen, offline notifications, and real-time device logs on Professional and Enterprise. |
| Proof of play | Can you show an advertiser what actually played? | Every play is logged with scheduled and actual start and end time, the screen, and any skip or interruption. |
| Enterprise controls | SSO, roles, white-label, device management? | Enterprise: custom roles, MDM and white-label, with guided onboarding and priority support. SSO on request (contract). |
