Verdict

Which should you choose?

Pick Yodeck if…

You want the most capable content tool of the three and your screens are on the public internet. Yodeck covers 66% of the 167 capabilities, the highest here, and leads on content types, playlists and design.

Pick ScreenCloud if…

Your screens exist to surface what is already in Teams, Outlook, Slack or Power BI. ScreenCloud covers 58% overall but owns the integration and identity side outright, including SCIM provisioning.

Pick Wilyer if…

Neither of the above is the hard part - keeping the screens running is. Both Yodeck and ScreenCloud are cloud-only, and Wilyer leads both on deployment +43, remote device management +35, remote settings +21, monitoring +33 and broadcasting +25.

That means cloud or your own server behind a VPN, uptime history and live screenshots per branch, offline alerts, remote brightness and volume, and Android kiosk lockdown. Wilyer covers 60% overall and is behind both on integrations, content types and API access.
