Room Cherry vs ScreenCloud
ScreenCloud's meeting-room app runs on an iPad after you install ScreenCloud Player from the App Store, pair it in Studio, and lock it with Guided Access. It also does general digital signage and Office 365. If you want a ScreenCloud meeting room alternative that is an iPad room display with no app, Room Cherry is a Google Calendar room display in the browser: open the room link full screen and you're done.
Room Cherry is $10 per resource per month after a 30-day free trial, no card required, with unlimited screens per resource. We don't list ScreenCloud prices here — check ScreenCloud for their current pricing. Room Cherry is also listed on the Google Workspace Marketplace: https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/room_cherry/999447317631
