Loop Easy vs ScreenCloud vs Yodeck: Which Lobby TV Solution is Right for You?

March 1, 2026 · 8 min read

You need content on your lobby TV. You Googled “lobby TV software” and found a dozen options ranging from free to enterprise pricing. Let us break down the three most common solutions for small businesses and help you pick the right one.

The contenders

ScreenCloud

ScreenCloud is a digital signage platform designed for businesses. It supports images, videos, social media feeds, dashboards, and custom content. It is a full content management system for screens.

  • Price: $20/mo per screen (annual billing). $24/mo month-to-month.
  • Hardware: Works on most devices (Fire TV, Chrome OS, Windows, Android)
  • Best for: Businesses that need to display mixed content (social feeds, weather, news, custom graphics alongside video)
  • Drawback: Per-screen pricing adds up fast. 3 screens = $60/mo. Content management has a learning curve.

Yodeck

Yodeck is a digital signage solution that runs on Raspberry Pi hardware (they sell pre-configured players). It emphasizes ease of use and low per-screen cost.

  • Price: $7.99/screen/mo (annual). Free for 1 screen with Yodeck hardware.
  • Hardware: Requires Raspberry Pi player ($99 one-time) OR their pre-built player ($149)
  • Best for: Businesses with multiple screens who want traditional digital signage with scheduling
  • Drawback: Hardware cost upfront. Need to buy, set up, and maintain Raspberry Pi devices. Per-screen pricing still applies.

Loop Easy

Loop Easy is a video loop platform. You create curated video loops from YouTube, Vimeo, and TikTok — either manually or with AI curation — and they play continuously on any device.

  • Price: Free to start. Pro at $14.99/mo (flat, not per-screen). Additional devices $2.99/mo each.
  • Hardware: None required. Works on any device with a web browser.
  • Best for: Businesses that primarily want video content (nature loops, branded content, ambient visuals) on their screens
  • Drawback: Video-only (no custom graphics, social feeds, or dashboard widgets). Not a full digital signage CMS.

When to choose each

Choose ScreenCloud if: You need a full digital signage system with mixed content types (social feeds, weather widgets, custom graphics), you have IT support to manage it, and per-screen pricing fits your budget.

Choose Yodeck if: You want the cheapest per-screen price and do not mind buying and maintaining Raspberry Pi hardware. Good for chains or franchises with many screens.

Choose Loop Easy if: You primarily want video content on your screens (nature, music, branded videos, ambient content), you want AI to help you find and curate that content, you do not want to buy hardware, and you want something set up in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours.

The honest take

Loop Easy is not a full digital signage replacement. If you need custom graphics, social media feeds, and content scheduling on a dozen screens, ScreenCloud or Yodeck is probably what you want.

But if you just want good video content looping on your lobby TV — and you want it set up in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours — Loop Easy is the simplest and most affordable option. Especially with AI curation doing the hard work of finding content for you.
