Verdict

Which should you choose?

Pick PosterBooking if…

You are putting a handful of posters on a handful of screens and want it done this afternoon. PosterBooking leads on the content-creation side of this comparison - Canva, a template gallery, Instagram and Facebook feeds, Google Sheets - and it plays in a browser tab, so there is nothing to install and no server to think about. It also has a public REST API, which Wilyer does not.

It is not built to run an estate. Across the 167 capabilities on this page it covers 27% to Wilyer's 60%, and almost all of that gap is in managing and monitoring screens once they are out in the world.

Pick Wilyer if…

Your screens are spread across sites and somebody has to keep them running. Wilyer is ahead on 78 of the 167 capabilities here, and they cluster in one place: device management, monitoring and deployment. Uptime history, live screenshots from every branch, offline alerts, remote brightness and volume, Android kiosk lockdown, and the choice to run in the cloud or on your own server behind a VPN.

Where PosterBooking is ahead is worth knowing: Canva, social feeds, a template gallery, a browser player and a REST API. If your signage is mostly design work and a public API is a requirement, it is the better fit and this page will not pretend otherwise.

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

Yes. Across the 22 capabilities compared on this page, Wilyer covers all 22 while Poster Booking covers 6. The 16 it misses include Hourly Email Alerts, Branch-Level Access Control and Brightness Scheduling - 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, Branch-Level Access Control, Brightness Scheduling, Library Folder System, Live Screenshots from All Branches, 15-Day Uptime Logs (PDF Export), HDMI Screen Capture, User Activity Logs, Group-in-Group Demographics, Live File Download Progress, Playback Report Export (PDF/Excel), Unlimited Sub-Users, NTP Time Sync for Screens, 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.
