Verdict

Which should you choose?

Pick Samsung MagicINFO if…

Your estate is Samsung panels and you want the software that ships with them. MagicINFO runs natively on Tizen with no external player, and it edges the total here - 62% of the 167 capabilities to Wilyer's 60%. It is ahead on 35, including data residency, passkeys, published compliance documentation, external database binding, deeper scheduling and touch interactivity.

For a single-brand Samsung deployment that needs those, it is the path of least resistance.

Pick Wilyer if…

Your screens are mixed, or will be. Wilyer leads hardware coverage +27 because it runs on Raspberry Pi, LG webOS, FireStick, ChromeOS and Windows as well as Samsung Tizen - and it leads live widgets +42, monitoring +33, remote device management +23 and broadcasting +38.

The practical split: MagicINFO is excellent inside the Samsung estate and stops at its edge. If half your screens are another brand, you end up running two systems - and that is the problem Wilyer is built to remove.

Every question answered - devices, billing, deployment, security, and more.

Yes. Across the 22 capabilities compared on this page, Wilyer covers all 22 while Magicinfo covers 11. The 11 it misses include Hourly Email Alerts, Runs on Any Hardware and Branch-Level Access Control - the kind of monitoring and access control that starts to matter once you run more than a handful of screens.

The gaps in this comparison are: Hourly Email Alerts, Runs on Any Hardware, Branch-Level Access Control, Live Screenshots from All Branches, 15-Day Uptime Logs (PDF Export), User Activity Logs, Live File Download Progress, Unlimited Sub-Users, Define Real Screen View, VAST Ad Player Integration and Branch-Specific Media Libraries. Wilyer ships all of them as standard, with no add-on tier required.

Yes - Wilyer is hardware agnostic. It runs on Android, Windows, Fire TV, Chrome OS, LG webOS, Samsung Tizen, Raspberry Pi, macOS and Linux, so in most cases you pair the players you already own rather than buying new hardware.

You upload your existing media into the Wilyer library, recreate playlists and schedules, then pair each screen with a code. A screen goes live in about five minutes, and branch-specific libraries let you cut over one location at a time instead of all at once.

Yes. Every Wilyer plan has a free trial, so you can run Wilyer alongside your current setup on a couple of screens and compare uptime logs, live screenshots and playback reports before you commit.
