A side-by-side editorial comparison of Juuno and Replug — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
The app catalogue keeps widening while the platform underneath it gets reworked
Juuno is a digital signage platform that ships one consolidated release note per month, and the August 2026 edition is catalogue growth plus plumbing. Three more screen apps arrive — Clock, While You Wait and WiFi QR — alongside major Media Library work and drag-and-drop uploads directly into playlists and configuration modals. The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
Replug expanded from link shortening into deep linking and bio-links — then went quiet.
Replug is a link-management and bio-link platform. Its monthly roundups show expansion well beyond short links: advanced deep linking with GPS location tracking, App Store and Google Maps QR codes, eight new bio-link blocks with link cloaking, and a complete API rebuild with analytics export. The most recent notes are from early 2026, and the feed has been quiet since.

The Yelp app, launched to beta only two months earlier, has been pulled while the team reworks it.
The arc through 2026 is a signage vendor building out a library of small, self-contained screen apps and then repeatedly returning to fix the surfaces that host them — playlists, scenes, schedules and the media library. Commercially the direction is already set: Screen Analytics went out free in beta in March explicitly destined for a paid tier, and the Growth plan shipped in July. August adds no pricing news and instead spends its length on app configuration consistency and a long list of playback and layout fixes.
Expect the Yelp app to return from its pause and more single-purpose screen apps to follow the Clock and WiFi QR pattern. Whether Screen Analytics moves behind the Growth plan is the open question these notes do not answer.

The most recent notes are from early 2026, and the feed has been quiet since.
The arc through 2025 was broadening the surface — deep linking, QR formats, bio-link building, and an API rebuild to underpin it — turning a link shortener into a fuller link-and-attribution toolkit. But with no notes since the January 2026 roundup, the recent trajectory is unclear; the platform may have slowed its public release cadence.
If development is still active, deeper deep-linking and attribution features are the natural next step given the API rebuild; but the gap since January 2026 makes the near-term direction uncertain.
