PosterBooking review

PosterBooking is cloud-based digital signage software for managing TVs remotely. You upload images, videos, menus or ads, then use a browser-based dashboard to choose what appears on each screen. It’s built for operators who want to manage one screen or a group of screens without updating them in person.

The feature set includes playlists and scheduling, so you can set content and timing by screen or group. PosterBooking also supports remote, real-time updates, synchronized playback across multiple screens and offline playback using cached content if the internet drops. White-label branding lets you add your own logo to the dashboard.

The product is offered in tiers for home and small-business setups through to large, multi-tenant organizations. The practical question is whether its remote controls and scheduling justify the price once you go beyond the free plan’s 10 screens.

PosterBooking covers the core jobs of a distributed signage system: manage screens from one account, schedule different content, push changes remotely and keep cached content playing through an internet interruption. Synchronized playback and group scheduling are useful when screens need to stay coordinated across locations. White-label branding may also suit a reseller or organization that wants its own logo on the management dashboard.

The pricing page lists scheduled playlists on Home Basic, and unlimited screens, playlists and storage on Business Pro. That gives buyers a clear step up when a 10-screen setup is no longer enough, though the price jump is substantial. One Reddit user in a CommercialAV thread said they had used PosterBooking for a year without problems. Another poster in that thread was trialing the Pro package for a planned 90–120-screen rollout; that is evidence of interest, not a detailed review of how it performs at that scale.

For a small operation, the free tier offers a way to start with up to 10 screens, provided the on-screen watermark is acceptable.

The main catch is the screen cap and the cost of removing it. According to the pricing page, Free includes 10 screens with a watermark; Home Basic also stops at 10, but removes the watermark for $52 per month. Both plans list an extra $6.49 per month for each screen from screen 11. That makes a growing deployment more expensive without necessarily moving you to a higher-capacity plan.

Business Pro costs $520 per month and includes unlimited screens, playlists and storage. Enterprise Plus is $830 per month and lists unlimited everything, 24/7 unlimited support, a dedicated server and two-factor authentication. Those are steep monthly commitments for teams that only need a few screens beyond the basic allowance. The FAQ says plans are billed monthly, but the Home Basic price appears as $52/m beside $69, and the page does not explain the relationship between those figures or publish annual rates. The Free listing also mentions a three-month free trial, which is an odd distinction beside a $0 monthly price.

The listed plans run from free to $830 per month, but the free tier is capped at 10 screens and adds a watermark. Home Basic is $52 per month for 10 screens without a watermark and with scheduled playlists. On both Free and Home Basic, each screen from number 11 costs another $6.49 per month, so the per-screen add-on can make a larger setup costly.

Business Pro jumps to $520 per month and includes unlimited screens, playlists and storage. Enterprise Plus is $830 per month, with unlimited features, 24/7 unlimited support, a dedicated server and two-factor authentication. That is a $468 monthly jump from Home Basic to Business Pro, before add-ons.

There are billing caveats. The FAQ says plans are billed monthly, but Home Basic appears at $52 beside $69, and the page does not identify either as an annual rate. The pricing information lists a three-month free period for Free and a 30-day trial for Business Pro. Annual pricing is not published.

PosterBooking’s described workflow is browser-based: upload images, videos, menus or ads, then manage screens, playlists and schedules remotely. That points to a practical migration checklist: confirm the existing screens are supported, gather the source media, and plan how to recreate playlists and schedules. The published details do not publish a migration tool, import options, supported file formats or a migration service, so don’t assume those parts transfer automatically.

The same information does not specify data-export options, cancellation terms or what happens to content and screen settings after leaving. Ask PosterBooking before moving a large deployment, and keep copies of original media and schedule details outside the service.

We don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published published material, so we can’t responsibly name user-reported reasons for leaving. Data portability and per-screen costs are sensible points to check: Free and Home Basic charge $6.49 per month for each screen above 10, while the published plan details don’t answer the export question.
