gibeon.ioA Gibeon look at the ScreenCloud alternative
ScreenCloud is built for big corporate rollouts on per-screen pricing. If you run a handful of screens in the EU, the math and the hosting tell a different story.
What ScreenCloud does well
ScreenCloud is solid digital signage software, and you can tell it was built for scale. Their Studio gives you a clean structure for playlists, casts and channels, which makes large rollouts manageable. The Microsoft 365 work is genuinely good: Teams Rooms and SharePoint News land nicely on internal communications screens. Quick Post lets a non-technical person push an update without a fuss. There's a proper API and webhooks for enterprise workflows, so IT teams can wire signage into what they already run. For corporate dashboards on screens, it's a serious choice.
Where ScreenCloud falls short
Pricing is the first thing. ScreenCloud starts at $20 per screen per month on Core, $30 on Pro, in USD, and Enterprise is quote-only. Gibeon is public and flat in euro: 0, 39, 99 or 299 per month, not per screen. There's no free tier with ScreenCloud, only a trial. Gibeon has 3 screens free forever. Every screen needs a pairing code and the player paired to your account. With Gibeon you paste a preview URL, no login or app on the device. Their data sits on US-class hosting; Gibeon keeps everything in the EU. And Quick Post summarizes existing documents, it doesn't generate new scenes the way Gibeon's text-prompt AI does.

Switching from ScreenCloud
Most people start on the free 3-screen tier and rebuild one screen first. Export your content from Studio, drop it into Gibeon, and grab the preview URL for each display. Point the screen at that URL and it's live. No pairing code, no player to install. Once a few screens look right, move the rest and cancel ScreenCloud at renewal.
Frequently asked questions
We already built everything in Studio. How painful is moving?
Less than you'd think. Your playlists and assets come over as content, and you rebuild the layout once in Gibeon. The bigger change is screens: you stop pairing players and just paste a URL on each display. Plan an afternoon for a small estate, longer if you run dozens.
ScreenCloud's M365 integration is the reason we use it. Does Gibeon match that?
Honestly, not at the same depth. If Teams Rooms and SharePoint News on internal communications screens are your core need, ScreenCloud does that better. Gibeon's strength is elsewhere: EU hosting, flat pricing, and generating new scenes from a prompt rather than summarizing documents.
Where does our data actually live with Gibeon?
In the EU, on Supabase EU and Cloudflare EU, on every plan including the free one. GDPR handling is the default, not a paid add-on. ScreenCloud runs on US-class hosting, which matters if your compliance people ask where content and viewer data sit.
Spin up the free 3-screen tier, paste one URL, and see if you miss the pairing codes.
