One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isUPshow (now part of EverPass) — in-venue digital signage and entertainment platform for commercial screens.
Our takeUPshow transforms venue screens into branded entertainment and marketing hubs with 500+ ad-free channels, social content, QR codes, and analytics.
Acquired by EverPass Media in July 2024, it now also unlocks live sports streaming (including NFL Sunday Ticket) for bars, restaurants, gyms, and healthcare facilities. Entry pricing starts at $50/mo (Starter). UPshow is digital signage software with an entertainment content layer.
Why we rate itRare bundling of digital signage management with a curated entertainment content library; 4.7/5 rating across 165+ verified reviews; particularly strong for venues that previously needed separate signage and streaming solutions.
The catchEverPass acquisition in 2024 shifted UPshow's strategic focus toward sports streaming — non-sports venues may find the roadmap less relevant.
Employee back-of-house tools were spun out as the separate 'Shift' product. Top-tier content packages require custom quotes.
