Sheencast vs TelemetryTV
TelemetryTV publishes $8 per device per month on Entry; Elite is $16 with a ten-device minimum. We charge a flat monthly price per plan. Here is what that means at a few screen counts.

What TelemetryTV does better
- A developer's platform: dashboards, data visualisation and an app ecosystem aimed at teams who want to build on their screens, plus their own TelemetryOS hardware line.
- Device management built for large fleets, with an Elite tier priced for it.
- Entry matches the cheapest per-device rate on these pages — at three screens or fewer the monthly bill is small either way.
- The 30-day trial runs with full Elite capabilities, not a cut-down tier.
What we do better
- Pricing does not scale with devices: ten screens are $80 a month there and $29 flat here, and the gap keeps widening.
- A free tier that never expires — three screens — where TelemetryTV has only a trial.
- Nothing to install: a screen is a browser opening a URL, no player app or box required.
The honest summary
If you run a handful of screens and care most about monthly cost, the flat plan wins and the gap grows with every screen. If you need the breadth of TelemetryTV's app catalog, their template library, or bundled player hardware, those are real things we do not have, and no amount of price difference substitutes for a feature you need.
