Which should you pick?
If Instagram is the screen's whole job, PostNext is the cheapest and fastest route and needs no player. If you need menus, dashboards, wayfinding or dozens of screens with different layouts, Yodeck and ScreenCloud are built for that, and PostNext can still run the Instagram screen beside them.
