What It Is

gibeon.io is a digital signage management platform for publishing images, videos, real-time data, and content from business systems to screens in retail stores, offices, shop windows, waiting areas, schools, or event venues. It is positioned not merely as a player, but as a combination of “CMS + data integration + Android player”: content, scheduling, and layouts are arranged in the web interface, then synced to various Android/Google TV devices. The player also caches content locally, so it can continue playing the most recently published content when the network is down.

Core Features and Integrations

The platform supports templates, data-placeholders, multi-zone layouts, a media library, playlists, scheduling by hour/date/event, screen grouping, AI scene generation, proof-of-play, and audit logs. It covers a broad range of industries, including real estate, food and beverage, retail, enterprise, fitness, healthcare, education, and events. Third-party integrations are a clear strength, with listed support for Whise, Omnicasa, Zabun, Skarabee, Salesforce, Pipedrive, PowerBI, Lightspeed, Eventbrite, Canva, OneDrive, iCal, weather, news, public transport, and more. Its real estate CRM page also states that listings, prices, statuses, and images can be synced every 15 minutes. For developers, the official site provides a REST API, MCP-server, Quickstart, and help center; the API endpoint is api.gibeon.io/v1.

Pricing and Deployment

It offers a free-forever plan: 3 screens, watermark included, 1 integration, and no credit card required. Starter is €32.50/month billed annually, includes 5 screens, and removes the watermark. Pro is €82.50/month billed annually, includes 10 screens, charges €5 per additional screen, and supports multiple integrations, audit logs, and proof-of-play. Business is €165/month billed annually, aimed at multi-location use, and includes 10 workspaces and 4K. Agency is €207.50/month billed annually, includes a 20-screen pool, unlimited sub-accounts, white labeling, and Priority Support. Enterprise supports SSO/SAML, SLA, and CSM, but requires contacting sales. Deployment is mainly based on a cloud CMS. On the playback side, users can choose preconfigured Android boxes or BYOD installation on Android devices, Google TV, or Smart TV. No self-hosting capability is disclosed.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The main advantages are a low barrier to entry, offline playback, flexible hardware options, and relatively deep industry data integrations. It is especially suitable for real estate agencies in Belgium/the Netherlands and stores that need to update screen content automatically. The Agency plan is also a good fit for service providers managing screens on behalf of clients. Limitations include the fact that advanced enterprise features require Enterprise, integration counts are limited on the Free and Starter plans, and some real-time capabilities such as the Whise webhook are still on the roadmap. Public materials do not provide detailed information on permissions, payment methods, or security certifications.

Access from China and Alternatives

The official site does not provide information on mainland China access, ICP filing, RMB payments, or local nodes, so China accessibility is rated as “unknown.” If deploying in mainland China, it is advisable to first test the console, player sync, dependencies related to Google TV/Play Store, and the payment flow. Alternatives to compare include Yodeck, MakelaarsTV, and domestic digital signage/commercial display CMS vendors. For simple looped playback, PowerPoint or a browser-based media player may also work, but automated syncing and offline reliability will be much weaker.
