gibeon.ioNoviSign alternative: Gibeon, priced in euros and hosted in the EU
NoviSign starts you on a 30-day trial, then jumps to $18 per screen in USD on US infrastructure. Gibeon keeps three screens free and your data in the EU.
What NoviSign does well
NoviSign earns the tagline Digital Signage Made Easy. The drag-and-drop layout designer is genuinely pleasant, and the 30+ widgets cover most of what an office needs without custom work. Their AI Image Creator is a real generative tool, not a gimmick. They are hardware-agnostic across Android, Windows, ChromeOS, Tizen and webOS, so you can reuse screens you already own. Offline caching keeps content playing when the network drops. And the support line is a real one. They mean it when they say we answer the phone. For a lot of buyers, that combination is reason enough to stay.
Where NoviSign falls short
Start with cost. There is no free tier, just a 30-day trial that then becomes $18 per screen per month, billed in USD. Three screens means roughly $54 a month in a foreign currency. Gibeon has a free-forever tier for three screens and flat plans at EUR 0 / 39 / 99 / 299, not per screen. Then hosting: NoviSign runs on Amazon S3 in vendor-chosen US regions with no EU guarantee. Gibeon keeps everything in the EU on Supabase EU and Cloudflare EU, GDPR by default on every plan. Setup also differs. With Gibeon you paste a URL to pair a screen, no login or installed player on the device itself.

Switching from NoviSign
Most offices move one screen at a time. You keep NoviSign running, open a free Gibeon account, and rebuild your main playlist using a private URL. Paste that URL on the screen and it plays, no app to install. Once the first screen looks right, do the rest over a week. When the NoviSign trial or renewal comes up, you cancel. No overlap cost, since three screens stay free.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when the trial ends if I don't switch?
On NoviSign the 30-day trial converts to paid at $18 per screen per month in USD, so three screens is about $54 monthly in a currency you don't bill in. Gibeon's three-screen tier is free forever, no card, no countdown. If you outgrow it, the next paid tier is EUR 39 flat.
My data needs to stay in Europe. Where does each one host?
NoviSign stores content on Amazon S3 in regions the vendor picks, typically US, with no EU residency guarantee. Gibeon keeps all data in the EU on Supabase EU and Cloudflare EU, GDPR by default on every plan including the free one. Nothing to configure or pay extra for.
I run a real-estate office. Does either pull listings automatically?
NoviSign gives you the drag-and-drop layout designer and 30+ widgets, but no named Belgian CRM connection. Gibeon syncs directly with Whise, Omnicasa and Zabun, so window listings update from your CRM without anyone re-typing prices or photos.
Open the free three-screen tier, paste a URL on your lobby screen, and see how it looks before the NoviSign trial runs out.
