Looking for a Socialwalls or Taggbox alternative? Start with what they don't tell you

By Rizwan Prasla

A quick orientation first, because the names confuse people. Taggbox is the company. Their social wall for screens and events now lives on its own domain as Socialwalls, and taggbox.com keeps the website widgets. If you were sent a Taggbox link for a screen in your venue, Socialwalls is the product you are actually looking at.

The short answer

Socialwalls is a social media aggregator. It collects posts from hashtags and profiles across many platforms and shows them on a screen or at an event. For a brand running a hashtag campaign across a conference, it is a serious, established tool.

Pixloud is not an aggregator. Guests scan a QR code and post straight to your wall from their phone browser. There is no feed to pull from and no platform to connect.

What the pricing page says, and what it doesn't

I opened socialwalls.com/price/digital-signage and socialwalls.com/price/events on 4 November 2026 and read both top to bottom.

There is no price on either page. Not for Lite, not for Pro, not for the Weekly or Monthly Pass. Every button is a free trial or a sales conversation. I am not saying that to score a point. It is simply the first thing a venue owner needs to know, because it means you cannot compare them on cost without booking a call.

What the pages do publish is what each plan includes, and that is useful.

The digital signage plans

• Lite gives you one screen, two feeds, and the wall updates every hour.
• Pro gives you three screens, five feeds, and the wall updates every thirty minutes.
• Enterprise is the only tier with real-time updates, and it is a sales conversation.

Read the update times again. A guest in your café posts a photo and, on Lite, it can be an hour before it appears. That is not a flaw they are hiding; it is on the comparison table. It is how an aggregator works. It checks the social platforms on a schedule.

Four things are Enterprise only: removing the Socialwalls branding from your wall, a custom wall address, a custom theme, and API access. On Lite and Pro your screen carries their name.

The event plans

• Weekly Pass covers one event, up to 500 attendees, two feeds, up to two screens, and keeps up to 500 posts.
• Monthly Pass covers multiple events, up to 1,000 attendees, four feeds, unlimited screens, and keeps up to 2,000 posts.
• Enterprise removes the caps.

The event plans do update in real time, which the signage plans don't. And the page says event plans are a one-time payment rather than a subscription, with a 20 percent saving quoted for yearly billing on the signage side.

When Socialwalls is the better choice

I would send you to them in these situations.

• You want posts pulled in from hashtags and public profiles across many platforms. That is their core product and Pixloud does not do it.
• You are an events agency running several conferences at once and want announcements, polls and a design studio in one tool. Their Monthly Pass and agency plan are built for exactly that.
• Your procurement team needs single sign-on, multi-factor authentication or a signed data processing agreement. Those are on their Enterprise tier.

For a brand event with a hashtag and a procurement process, they are a sensible call.

What Pixloud costs, in numbers that are on the page

A venue wall is $49 a month, and the year costs ten months rather than twelve. That number is on our pricing page, and it is the same number you will be charged.

For it you get a wall that is always on, unlimited photos and messages, short video clips and voice notes, five screens, your own branding on the wall, and an approval queue so nothing appears until you say so. Posts reach the screen within seconds of approval, on every plan, because they come straight from the guest's phone.

There is no hourly refresh to pay your way out of, because there is no refresh.

The partner programme, briefly

If you are an agency weighing up who to resell, Socialwalls lists Referral, Agency and Integration programmes and publishes no commission rate for any of them. Taggbox's separate affiliate page says 25 percent in its headline and 20 percent for a year in its body, with a 90-day cookie. Those are their words, side by side on one page, and I have left the contradiction as I found it.

Pixloud pays partners 20 percent for twelve months on monthly plans, published on the partners page.

Check this yourself

Open socialwalls.com/price/digital-signage and socialwalls.com/price/events. Look for a dollar sign. Then read the update time row in the comparison table. Everything above is there, and their site is the source of truth, not mine. If they publish prices after this is written, I will update the page.
