Cost at scale

## What 20 screens cost per year

Plan for plan, billed annually at list price. Spectrio publishes no rates, so its column cannot be priced.

| Basic vs DS Essential | **$1,400** | Quote only |
| Premium vs DS Professional | **$1,980** | Quote only |

Switching over

## Switching from Spectrio to EasySignage

Most commercial displays and players carry over, so you re-pair screens rather than replace them. Spectrio’s players are Android boxes, which EasySignage supports. Players you have paid for are yours to keep; check whether yours can be reset to standard Android before you switch. Your timing matters: Spectrio’s contract renews automatically unless you give written notice at least 30 days before the term ends.

[Talk to us about migrating](https://easysignage.com/contact-us/)

How the move works

1.  Find your term end date and send written notice at least 30 days before it.
2.  Check which equipment you have paid for; licensed equipment may need to be returned.
3.  Download your media before access ends.
4.  Check your screens against our supported players.
5.  Sign up free and rebuild one screen.

Do your own homework

## How to choose digital signage software

Use this whichever way you end up going. It's the same list we'd want a buyer to hold us to.

### What to check

-   Will the vendor give you a per-screen price in writing, including hardware, installation and activation?
-   How long is the term, does it renew automatically, and how much notice do you need to give?
-   How much can the price rise during the term?
-   Can you use screens and players you already own, at no extra charge?
-   Where are camera images processed, and are any stored?

## Spectrio alternative: common questions

How much does Spectrio cost?

Spectrio does not publish prices. Its three signage tiers, DS Essential, DS Professional and DS Enterprise, are quoted after a demo, and hardware, installation and activation are priced on the order. EasySignage publishes Free, Basic at $7, Premium at $9.98 and Enterprise at $13 per screen per month.

Does EasySignage cost less than Spectrio?

We cannot say, because Spectrio publishes no rates and we will not guess. Ask Spectrio for a per-screen price that includes hardware, installation and activation, then compare it per screen per year with the EasySignage tier that has the features you need.

Can I try Spectrio for free?

Spectrio has no free plan and no online sign-up. Its contract allows a trial only when a signed order includes one; trial data is lost unless you buy, and equipment goes back within 10 days. EasySignage is free for one screen, with no card needed.

What are Spectrio's contract terms?

The term is set on each order. Under Spectrio’s published terms it renews automatically for the same term unless either side gives written notice at least 30 days before it ends, the published terms include no right to cancel early for convenience, and prices can rise by up to 10% a year. EasySignage bills monthly or yearly with no long-term contract.

What does Spectrio do better than EasySignage?

Spectrio installs on site, makes custom content through its paid Studio subscription, and sells music, on-hold messaging and Wi-Fi marketing from the same supplier. It also has a retail media network for selling ads, SSO on every tier, and proof of play from its middle tier.

Do EasySignage and Spectrio both have audience analytics?

Yes. EasySignage AI Lite is in the Enterprise plan and measures crowd count, dwell time and viewer count on the device, with no images stored. Spectrio has zone analytics from DS Professional and sells a separate Audience Measurement product using radar and camera sensors; it publishes no privacy statement for the camera data.

Is Enplug the same as Spectrio?

Yes. Spectrio bought Enplug in 2021, enplug.com now redirects to Spectrio, and Enplug is no longer sold separately. Enplug logins, downloads and help pages are still online for existing customers.

Can I switch from Spectrio to EasySignage?

Yes. Spectrio’s players are Android boxes, which EasySignage supports. Players you have paid for are yours to keep; check whether yours can be reset to standard Android before you switch. Give Spectrio written notice at least 30 days before your term ends, download your media, and rebuild your playlists.

We compared pricing transparency and how you buy, contract terms, hardware, apps, dashboards, audience analytics, retail media, services, access control, security and data residency. EasySignage figures come from our pricing page and plan matrix. Spectrio information was checked on November 2026 against its public website (pricing, digital signage tier table and FAQ, apps, audience measurement, retail media network, Studio, Care and partner pages), and its Enplug acquisition pages. We have not estimated any Spectrio price, and we have not used third-party price estimates. Where we say a capability is not offered, that reflects what the vendor publicly documents, not a confirmed absence.
