CloudyFy TV vs Xibo: pricing and feature comparison 2026
Xibo is the open-source incumbent: free software under AGPLv3 if you host it yourself, plus three paid cloud tiers from $4.90 to $12.60 per display a month. CloudyFy TV is fully hosted with 5 GB of storage per device on the entry plan: Starter is ₹550 or $7$7 or ₹550 per device a month and pairs up to 25 displays.
Every Xibo price and capability on this page was checked against their own published pages on 29 October 2026. Vendors change both without notice, so verify before you decide. We use the product name as text and publish no rating for anyone's product, including our own.
Should you pick CloudyFy TV or Xibo?
Pick Xibo if you want the source code and a server of your own to run it on. Pick CloudyFy TV if you want a hosted platform where 25 displays cost ₹13,750 or $175$175 or ₹13,750 a month with 5 GB per device, proof of play on every plan and published support response times, and you would rather not maintain a CMS.
Where CloudyFy TV is stronger
5 GB of storage per device on the entry plan against 1 GB on Xibo Cloud Professional, published first-response times where Professional is best effort, proof of play on every tier, six player platforms with one shared renderer, and credit-metered AI. CloudyFy TV is SOC 2 Type II compliant. CloudyFy TV is built and run by Silicon IT Hub Pvt. Ltd., which is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified.
When Xibo might fit
You want AGPLv3 source to host yourself, SAML sign-in, or Windows and Linux players. CloudyFy TV runs the hosting for you, signs in through any OIDC provider including Microsoft Entra ID and Okta, and our team can source tested players through our hardware partners and help set them up.
Who should pick which
A team with a sysadmin, a server and a preference for owning the stack should look hard at self-hosted Xibo. A multi-site operator who wants screens running this week, without a CMS to patch, should start with CloudyFy TV.
What does Xibo cost for 25 displays?
Xibo lists its cloud prices in the pricing page's structured data rather than on the visible plan cards: Professional $4.90, Business $7.70 and Enterprise $12.60 per display per month, players included. 25 displays are $122.50 on Professional, with 1 GB per display and best-effort support, or $192.50 on Business, which adds SAML. The same 25 displays are ₹13,750 or $175$175 or ₹13,750 a month on CloudyFy TV Starter, at ₹550 or $7$7 or ₹550 per device a month, with 5 GB per device and published support response times.

Prices read from cloudyfy.tv/pricing and xibosignage.com/pricing on 29 October 2026, in USD. Xibo's per-display prices sit in the page's structured data; the visible plan cards show a Buy Now button and no yearly terms. Self-hosting is genuinely free as software and not free as a project. Budget the server, the database, the media storage, TLS certificates, the upgrade work between major versions, backups you have tested, and the perpetual player licence for each Android, Tizen, webOS or ChromeOS screen.

When Xibo might fit
Xibo suits some teams well. Here is when, and how CloudyFy TV answers each point.
You want to host the software yourself
Xibo's CMS is free under AGPLv3, so you can run it on your own server and keep running it whatever the company does.
Source: xibosignage.com/open-source, checked 29 October 2026
With CloudyFy TV: CloudyFy TV is fully hosted, so the server, upgrades and backups are ours to run, and a 7-day trial replaces a server build.
You want a long public track record
Xibo entered the market in 2004 and publishes a large library of release notes and guides.
Source: xibosignage.com/about-us, checked 29 October 2026
With CloudyFy TV: CloudyFy TV draws on 11 years of running signage for real businesses, with 25+ client companies and 1K+ screens live today. Support comes with published first-response times.
You need SAML, or Windows and Linux players
Xibo offers SAML sign-in from its Business tier, and Windows and Linux players.
Source: xibosignage.com/pricing, checked 29 October 2026
With CloudyFy TV: CloudyFy TV signs in through any OIDC provider, including Microsoft Entra ID and Okta, on Pro and Enterprise. For new screens, our team helps you set them up and can source tested players for you through our hardware partners.
Who each platform is for
CloudyFy TV is a good fit if
You run 10 to 100 screens across several sites, you want the price in writing before you commit rather than after a quote, your hardware is Android, Fire TV, Tizen 6.0+, webOS 6.0+ or a browser, and you want proof of play and offline playback on the entry plan rather than an upgrade.
Xibo may suit you better if
You need the source code, a self-hosted deployment, SAML-only sign-in, or Windows or Linux players you must keep.
How do you move from Xibo to CloudyFy TV?
There is no automatic importer between the two products. The move is a fresh setup, and on a small fleet it is a short one.
Export your media from Xibo
Files upload straight into the CloudyFy TV media library, which accepts video, image, PDF, slider and GIF, and deduplicates by SHA-256 checksum so a file you upload twice is only stored once.Recreate your layouts
CloudyFy TV layouts are a canvas of positioned blocks rather than an HTML bundle. Start from one of the 93 design templates, or from a blank canvas with split regions.Re-pair the displays
Install the CloudyFy TV player on each screen and enter the pairing code shown on the display. Any device running Android 7.0 or later, a Samsung Tizen 6.0+ panel, an LG webOS 6.0+ panel or a Chromium 71+ browser can be reused. Windows or Linux screens need a different device. For new screens, our team helps you set them up and can source tested players for you through our hardware partners.Decommission the server
If you were self-hosting, keep the old CMS running read-only until the last screen has been re-paired and published, then retire the host, the database and the backup job with it.
