Why We’re Launching a Free Tier for AV/UC Device Management

AV and UC systems have become mission-critical. But the tools to manage them are still out of reach for a lot of teams. If you don’t have the budget or the scale to justify a full enterprise platform, you’re stuck with workarounds, patchwork solutions - or nothing at all.

That’s why we’re launching the Xyte Starter Plan. It’s free. It’s full-featured. And it works whether you’re managing ten rooms or a thousand - without the overhead of enterprise software.

What the Starter Plan Delivers

One platform. Unlimited devices. Free forever. No catch. The Starter Plan lets you monitor and manage every room, device, and local asset - across vendors, across locations, from one interface.

It’s the same core orchestration engine we use in large-scale deployments, now available to everyone. You can see what’s online, spot issues early, and take action fast. 

Why Now – and Why Openness Matters

Most AV environments aren’t built ‘green field’. They grow over time. New gear gets added, old systems stick around, and things don’t always come from the same vendor - or speak the same language.

That’s the reality for most teams. But the tools to manage these diverse systems are expensive, hard to scale, or locked into a single ecosystem. And if you don’t meet a certain threshold - budget, headcount, brand loyalty - you’re left without a real solution.

The Starter Plan is our way of changing that. It gives every team the visibility and control they need to keep things running - without starting over. It works with what you already have, and it scales as your setup evolves.

It’s also part of a bigger shift. As a founding member of OpenAV Cloud, we’re working to move the industry toward better APIs, stronger data practices, and real interoperability. Making orchestration accessible is how we start moving in that direction - together.

Start Simple. Scale When You’re Ready.

If you’ve been waiting for budget, or approval, or a reason to move away from the patchwork of tools you’ve been stuck with - this is it. The Starter Plan is free. And it finally makes cloud-based AV orchestration accessible to everyone - not just the biggest players.
