Is Vewport a good Xibo alternative?

If you want a managed, no-maintenance platform — EU-hosted, browser-based, flat-priced — Vewport fits. If you specifically want to self-host open-source software and run it yourself, Xibo is a strong choice; Vewport also offers an Odoo self-host distribution if self-hosting is the goal but you want a managed product.

Is Vewport open-source?

Vewport is a managed platform, not an open-source project. It does offer a self-host distribution via Odoo that runs the whole stack on your own infrastructure if data residency or control is the requirement.

Do I have to maintain a server with Vewport?

No. The SaaS is fully managed — there is nothing to install or maintain, and screens pair in any browser with a 6-character code.
