Total Cost of Ownership: 3-Year Comparison
Software plus hardware costs over three years at different deployment sizes. The per-screen pricing model means Yodeck costs grow proportionally with every screen you add.
Yodeck Cost Formula
Premium plan at $12/screen/month. The Yodeck player (list $85, or $155 for the 4K Player Plus) is free with annual billing, so Yodeck hardware counts as $0.
10 screens: (10 × $12 × 36) + $0 = $4,320
CastHub Cost Formula
On annual billing: Pro $35/month up to 10 screens, Enterprise $95/month up to 25, Enterprise plus the unlimited add-on $174/month above 25. Amazon Signage Stick $99.99/unit (one-time).
10 screens (Pro): ($35 × 36) + (10 × $99.99) = $2,260
| Screens | CastHub (Software + Hardware) | Yodeck Premium (Software + Hardware) | 3-Year Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $1,260 + $1,000 = $2,260 | $4,320 + $0 = $4,320 | $2,060 (48%) |
| 25 | $3,420 + $2,500 = $5,920 | $10,800 + $0 = $10,800 | $4,880 (45%) |
| 50 | $6,264 + $5,000 = $11,264 | $21,600 + $0 = $21,600 | $10,336 (48%) |
| 100 | $6,264 + $10,000 = $16,264 | $43,200 + $0 = $43,200 | $26,936 (62%) |
