Questions

Is Aldivue open source?

No. Aldivue is a managed cloud service — we run the infrastructure, updates, and backups, and you manage screens from the dashboard.

What is the real cost difference versus self-hosting?

Self-hosted software has no licence fee but still costs server hosting plus the time to install, secure, update, and troubleshoot it. Aldivue is $9.99 per screen per month with that work included.

Can I try Aldivue before switching?

Yes. Aldivue has a 14-day free trial and no card is required to start. You can pair a spare Fire TV Stick, load your existing content, and run both systems side by side before moving your screens over.
