Compare FrontFace vs. Linutop Kiosk

FrontFace is a powerful on-premise digital signage & kiosk software product (not SaaS) that allows you to easily deploy flexible and very reliable interactive kiosk terminals, touchscreen frontends, as well as non-interactive public displays and digital signage applications, advertising or information displays, self-service kiosks, etc. FrontFace can display any kind of media format, whether you want to display text, images, photos, PDFs, videos, news tickers or even entire web pages (HTML5). But the best news is that you can use ANY Windows application that can print to create high-quality HD content for your display. Use PowerPoint, Word, Excel, etc. to create content for your playlists. Use the tools you are familiar with without having to invest in learning a new, complex design application! In addition, FrontFace comes with a plugin interface that allows you to extend the application's functionality with optional plugins. This includes the integration of external calendars (e.g. Office 365 Exchange Online or ICS or Excel) or vertical applications such as an accident statistics board or a dashboard. Content management is super easy with FrontFace. No programming are skills required.
