Taking a quick glance at the options for plans from viewneo rapidly leads to the conclusion that things are certainly simplified. As in there is only a choice of two plans, with the lower one targeted at a smaller business, and the other for a considerably larger organization. If either of these fit your needs, well then great, but we generally prefer a wider choice to pay for the features we need, and not overpay for those that we don’t. Let’s take a closer look, and keep in mind that viewneo offers a full 30-day free trial with all the features enabled to decide if this solution meets your needs- with no credit card required.

The small business plan is dubbed viewneo Professional, and viewneo which costs $21.00 per month, and includes 250 GB free space, 200+ design templates, over 1 million images and videos, news feeds, content designer, unlimited playlists, user management, offline playback, and nested playlists. The support is limited to email only, along with some self help options detailed below. The cost above is for a single screen only, and a separate plan, at the same price is required for each additional screen.

viewneo Enterprise is designed for larger organizations. It costs $280.00 per month as a base fee, plus $17 per month per license for each screen (as far as we can tell even the 1st screen is not included in the plan). It includes all the features of viewneo Professional plus upgrades to 2 TB free space, direct email support, phone support, personal support, multi-client capability, content and playlist sharing, default playlists, white label CMS, and API key.

While we did not find any annual discounts, it can be canceled anytime.

viewneo: Support

Viewneo offers various ways to get help and support for using viewneo. These start with a single direct support option, to contact the viewneo team via a support portal. However, we did not find a direct phone or email address, nor a real time chat.

There are thankfully more options on the self help side of support. This starts with viewneo Tube where you can watch tutorials, tips, and tricks for your daily work with viewneo on their YouTube channel which has over 150 videos. There’s also viewneo Docs to gain access to the online documentation for viewneo, which covers topics such as installation, configuration, content creation, and troubleshooting. We also like the viewneo Forum to ask questions, share ideas, and get feedback from other viewneo users and experts. 

There’s even a viewneo Changelog to see the latest updates and improvements for viewneo and its plugins, and a viewneo API to access the viewneo API documentation and endpoints, which allow you to integrate viewneo with other applications and services. Finally, the viewneo Blog shares news, stories, and insights about viewneo and digital signage.
