OptiSigns information on this page was compiled from OptiSigns' own public website on 2 August 2026 and may have changed since. We have no affiliation with OptiSigns. If anything here is out of date or inaccurate, email info@vypa.co and we will correct it.

A note on currency. VYPΛ® prices are set in Canadian dollars (CA$) and billed in CAD through Stripe, or in Nigerian naira (₦) through Paystack for Nigerian accounts. The competitor figures on this page are quoted in the currency that vendor publishes, which is usually US dollars. CA$10 is not the same amount of money as US$10 — compare the numbers with the exchange rate in mind rather than at face value.

What OptiSigns does well

OptiSigns has one of the more generous free tiers in the category — up to three screens, though with OptiSigns branding shown on the display — a deep app and integration catalogue, and a clear tier ladder that scales into kiosk and interactive use cases. If you need a pure CMS with lots of integrations, it is a strong option.

Side by side

OptiSigns publishes in USD. Our prices are set in Canadian dollars, and in naira for Nigeria.

Where VYPΛ® is different

Feature lists converge over time. These differences do not.

The screen can earn its keep

Every OptiSigns tier is a cost. On VYPΛ®, enrolling your screen in the host network pays you 70% of net advertising revenue from ads delivered to it, paid monthly.

Flat rates instead of endless per-screen billing

OptiSigns charges per screen on every tier. Our Pro plan is a flat CA$35/month covering five screens and Enterprise is a flat CA$100/month for unlimited screens, so the bill stops tracking screen count.

Local pricing, local payment rails

Canadian accounts are billed in CA$ through Stripe; Nigerian accounts in naira through Paystack, at prices set against the Nigerian market rather than converted from dollars. Basic is ₦5,000/month.

A demand side as well as a supply side

Because we also run VYPΛ Advertise, we bring advertisers to the network rather than only selling you software. That is what makes the revenue share possible in the first place.

Which one should you choose?

No platform is right for everyone. Here is our honest read.

Choose OptiSigns if…

You want a permanently free tier — three screens free beats our 30-day trial if branding is acceptable.
You want unlimited cloud storage rather than 5 GB per paid screen licence.
You need a very large third-party app and data integration catalogue.
You need advanced interactive kiosk, Lift & Learn or check-in features today.

Choose VYPΛ® if…

You would rather your screens made money than cost money.
You do not want another company's logo on a screen your customers can see.
You are in Canada or Nigeria and want to be billed locally in CA$ or naira.
You run several screens and want flat-rate tiers instead of per-screen billing throughout.
You also want to advertise your own business on screens in other venues.

Common questions

OptiSigns gives three free screens. What do you give?

A 30-day free trial on one screen with 2 GB of storage. OptiSigns' free tier is permanent and covers three screens, though it displays OptiSigns branding on the screen. If a free permanent tier matters more to you than unbranded output or revenue share, OptiSigns is the better fit and we will say so plainly.

Why are your prices in Canadian dollars?

Because that is the currency we bill in. VYPΛ® is a Canadian company and Canadian accounts are charged in CAD through Stripe. Nigerian accounts are charged in naira through Paystack at prices set for that market. CA$10 and US$10 are not the same amount of money, so compare with the exchange rate in mind.

Is the 70% revenue share guaranteed income?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. 70% is your share of net advertising revenue actually earned and collected on your screens. What that comes to depends on your location, footfall and advertiser demand. Section 6.10 of our Terms of Service states explicitly that we do not guarantee earnings.

Can I use my existing OptiSigns hardware?

In most cases yes, if the device runs Android, Fire OS, Samsung Tizen or LG webOS. Talk to us with your device model and we will confirm before you commit.
