What to watch for with Rise Vision
For anyone who isn't a school the picture is weaker - the template library is education-first, interactive templates cost $1,200/display/year extra, and the company increasingly pushes bundled hardware.
Why teams pick My Smart Signage

Menu boards, promos, price splashes and live dashboards - the things cafes, shops and offices actually put on a wall.
Bring your own hardware
Android TV and Windows players, no pushed proprietary displays.
Add-ons, not forced tiers
Premium widgets are per-month add-ons on any plan.
Offline-first
Screens keep playing through outages.
The honest verdict
If you need heavy enterprise governance or a very specific integration only Rise Vision offers, stay where you are. But if you run menu boards, promos or in-store screens for a cafe, restaurant, shop or small chain, and you want capability without tier-jumping and screens that keep playing offline, My Smart Signage is built for exactly that.
