# Which digital signage software actually works for small businesses without an IT team?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, trying to help a friend pick a <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/digital-signage">Digital Signage</a> tool for her two-location boutique, and most buying guides out there are clearly written for enterprise chains with a dedicated IT department. She just needs something she and one part-time employee can run themselves. Digging through small business reviews turned up a slightly different shortlist than what usually tops these lists.</p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/yodeck/reviews"><strong>Yodeck</strong></a> gives you the first screen free forever, and reviewers keep saying setup takes minutes even if you're not remotely tech savvy.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/optisigns/reviews"><strong>OptiSigns</strong></a> gets called out by small shop owners for syncing updates in seconds and staying affordable even as you add a screen or two.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/play-digital-signage/reviews"><strong>Play Digital Signage</strong></a> pairs a free first screen with human support, no bots, which small business reviewers specifically mention as reassuring when something actually breaks. How much does having a real person on support matter to you day to day?</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/atmosphere-tv/reviews"><strong>Atmosphere TV</strong></a> skips the content creation problem entirely with pre-built channel bundles plus room for your own ads, at no monthly cost. Best for bars, gyms, and waiting rooms that want ambiance without designing a single slide.</li>
</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone running things solo or with just one or two employees, which of these needed the least ongoing babysitting once it was up and running? And did anyone get hit with surprise costs after adding a second or third screen?</p>

&lt;p&gt;OptiSigns has needed basically zero babysitting for us once it was set up, updates just sync and that&#39;s it. No surprise costs either since the per screen pricing was clear going in, which was honestly our biggest worry before signing up.&lt;/p&gt;
