TVpilot vs Stremo · prices checked 8 November 2026
Stremo alternative
with a free screen and screens included
Stremo is a Dutch narrowcasting platform from Montfoort with a strong service focus: its own pre-installed player, installation on site and a managed content service on top of the software. People who look for a Stremo alternative usually want to start without a trial clock, pay less as they add screens, or use a Raspberry Pi or Amazon Signage Stick they already have. TVpilot is also built in the Netherlands, has a Dutch dashboard and cancels monthly. Here is an honest comparison, with prices as both companies publish them.
Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5 a month.
The short answer
TVpilot and Stremo are both Dutch narrowcasting platforms that you manage from a browser and can cancel monthly. Stremo charges €9.95 per screen per month on yearly billing or €12.95 on monthly billing, offers a 14-day trial instead of a free plan, and sells its own pre-installed player (€89 once), installation on site and a managed content service from €199 a month. TVpilot is free for 1 screen forever and charges per plan with screens included: €5 a month for 3 screens, €19 for 10. Stremo has native apps for Samsung, Apple TV and Windows and a strong service focus. TVpilot is cheaper from the first screen and adds proof of play, an emergency alert, video walls and live data from tools such as bol.com, Mollie and Zermelo.

What really differs
Price: per screen or per plan
Stremo prices every screen separately. Stremo Basis is €9.95 per screen per month when you pay yearly and €12.95 per screen when you pay monthly, so 3 screens cost €29.85 a month and 10 screens €99.50 a month on the yearly rate. From about 10 screens Stremo offers Enterprise on request, with custom modules, several locations and installation on site.
TVpilot prices per plan with screens included. One screen is free, forever. Starter is €5 a month with 3 screens included and €2 for each extra screen, so 10 screens cost €19 a month. Pro is €29 a month with 10 screens and every Premium feature, Business €99 a month with 25 screens and a team of up to 25 users. At 10 screens on yearly billing, TVpilot Starter comes to €189 a year and Stremo Basis to €1,194 a year.
Free plan or trial
Stremo has a 14-day trial on one screen, without a credit card. During the trial the screen shows images and video with a Stremo slide and a watermark; after 14 days you choose a paid plan.
TVpilot has no trial clock. The free plan runs one screen for as long as you like, with 250 MB of storage, every standard plugin, the Designer and AI Studio, and without a TVpilot logo on the screen. You upgrade when you add a second screen or want Premium features.
Hardware: their player and apps, or your choice
Stremo sells its own Stremo Player, a pre-installed HDMI stick for €89 once or €139 with ethernet, and checks whether your TV works by its model number. It has native apps for Samsung Tizen screens, Android TV, Google TV, Apple TV and Windows, and a Raspberry Pi image on request. If you want a box that arrives ready, that is convenient.
TVpilot has no player of its own. It runs on the Amazon Signage Stick, on any Raspberry Pi with one install command, on a Fire TV Stick with the TVpilot app, on Android TV and Chromecast with Google TV, on an iPad, and in the browser of a smart TV or computer. On a Raspberry Pi it also switches the TV on and off on a schedule through HDMI-CEC and plays from its own cache during an internet outage. TVpilot has no native Samsung Tizen, Apple TV or Windows app; those devices open the player in their browser.
Service or self-service
Service is where Stremo puts its weight. It offers installation on site on quote, and Managed Content as a subscription: €199 a month when you send finished material and Stremo places it, €349 a month including four new designs. Its reviews often mention the personal service.
TVpilot is built so you can do it yourself in minutes, with help when you want it: Installation and onboarding for €249 once, where TVpilot sets up your screens, playlists and schedule with you, and the Content bundle for €99 once, five designs in your own branding. There is no monthly content subscription.
Features and live data
Stremo lists a slide builder with templates, playlists with day and week schedules, screen groups per location, roles for administrators, editors and viewers with unlimited users, and about 45 integrations, from Google Reviews, Power BI and Canva to Teams, Slack, Salesforce and Exact.
TVpilot covers the same basics and adds features Stremo does not mention on its website: proof of play with certificates and advertiser reports, an emergency alert that reaches every screen within seconds, video walls up to 4 by 4, a health page with email alerts when a screen goes offline, approval before publishing with a four-eyes option, two-factor sign-in on every plan, and live dashboards for Dutch tools such as bol.com, Mollie, Moneybird, SumUp, Kiyoh, Zermelo and Realworks.
