## Overview

### Key benefits of Layar

Use the TV you already own. No proprietary media box. A cheap Android stick or a small Windows mini PC is enough, bought from any supplier.

Change the screen from your phone. Edit a price or swap a promo once, and every screen updates within a minute. No pendrive, no walking to the TV.

It keeps playing when the internet drops. Content is cached on the player, so a broken line does not mean a black screen at lunch rush.

You find out when a screen goes dark. Paid tiers send a WhatsApp message the moment a screen goes offline, instead of you hearing about it from a customer.

Content switches by time of day. Breakfast menu until 11:30, set lunch after, teatime promo at 3, all by itself. Screens can power on and off on a schedule too.

Built for Malaysia, not translated for it. Prayer times from official Jakim zones that update daily, prices in ringgit rather than converted dollars, and an interface in English and Bahasa Melayu.

Start free and stay free on one screen. No card required, and paid plans are per screen per month so a second screen never means a new package.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Layar

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: USD 0.00
- **Pricing model**: Per Feature (Free version available) (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: Pricing is per screen, per month. There is no platform fee and no setup fee, so a second screen costs the same as the first rather than pushing you into a new package.

One screen is free forever, with no credit card. It includes 250MB of storage and carries a small Layar watermark on playback. It is a real plan, not a trial, and it is enough to run a single menu board or notice board indefinitely.

Solo removes the watermark on one screen. Starter adds time-of-day scheduling, widgets such as prayer times and weather, and the drag and drop design canvas, for up to ten screens. Pro adds analytics, proof of play, WhatsApp offline alerts and unlimited screens.

Billing is monthly or annual. Annual includes two months free. Annual plans can also be invoiced for bank transfer rather than card, which suits many Malaysian SMEs that do not put subscriptions on a company card.

Customers in Malaysia are billed in Malaysian ringgit at RM15, RM29 and RM55 per screen per month, and are not exposed to exchange rate movement. The US dollar figures shown here are the equivalent international rates.

Running more than 20 screens, or a mall or campus deployment with wayfinding, is quoted separately. Hardware is not sold with the software: the players run on ordinary Windows mini PCs and Android devices bought from any supplier.

Content is stored on the player itself, so the screen keeps running when the internet drops. A connection is only needed to receive changes, not to keep playing.\n\nScheduling is what makes a screen feel automatic: a breakfast menu until 11:30, a set lunch after that, a teatime promo at 3, switching by itself. Screen power schedules turn the display on and off so it is not running overnight for nobody.\n\nBuilt for this market rather than translated into it. Prayer time widgets pull official Jakim zone times and change daily without anyone editing a slide. Prices are set in Malaysian ringgit, not converted from US dollars. The interface is available in English and Bahasa Melayu.\n\nScreen health monitoring is included on the paid tiers rather than sold as an upsell. If a screen goes offline, Layar can send a WhatsApp message. A screen that is dark without you knowing is the most expensive failure in signage, because you believe your promotion is running when it is not.\n\nPlayers run on Windows mini PCs and on Android, including inexpensive Android TV sticks and Android-based displays, so hardware can be bought from any supplier. There is no proprietary media box to buy.\n\nBeyond standard signage, Layar includes interactive wayfinding for malls and office buildings: floor directories, tenant listings that tenants maintain themselves, and advertising slots on the same screen.\n\nPricing is per screen, per month, in ringgit. One screen is free forever with no card required. Paid plans start at RM15 per screen per month, with scheduling, widgets and the design canvas from RM29, and analytics, WhatsApp alerts and proof of play on the top tier at RM55.
