Frequently Asked Questions

How does CastHub's flat-rate pricing work?
CastHub uses a tier-based flat monthly fee. The Basic plan ($12/month) covers up to 2 screens, the Pro plan ($35/month) covers up to 10 screens, and the Enterprise plan ($95/month) covers unlimited screens. Unlike per-screen pricing models where costs scale linearly with every display you add, CastHub's pricing stays flat within each tier. Your 11th screen costs the same as your 200th screen on Enterprise.
What hardware do I need for CastHub?
CastHub works with the Amazon Signage Stick, a purpose-built commercial media player priced at $99.99 per unit. It features 4K output, quad-core processing, Wi-Fi 6E, and secure boot. Simply plug it into any HDMI-connected screen, configure it via the Amazon Signage mobile app, and connect it to your CastHub dashboard. Setup takes under 10 minutes per screen.
Why is CastHub cheaper than competitors for large deployments?
Per-screen pricing models (used by BrightSign, Yodeck, ScreenCloud, and most others) charge $11 to $20+ per screen per month. At 50 screens, that's $550 to $1,000+ per month in software alone. CastHub's Enterprise plan is a flat $95/month whether you have 11 screens or 200. The more screens you deploy, the greater your savings. A 100-screen deployment can save over 90% on software costs compared to per-screen vendors.
Are there any hidden fees with CastHub?
No. CastHub has no setup fees, no onboarding fees, and no per-screen surcharges beyond the flat plan tier price. The only costs are the one-time hardware purchase (Amazon Signage Stick at $99.99 per screen) and your monthly software plan. There are no long-term contracts, and you can cancel anytime.
