The rooms may be in different buildings.
Every wired call system, every wall light and every on-site server stops at the walls of one building. That is not a feature they forgot; it is what they are. It is also why a second location means a second installation, a second box and a second thing that can break.
You do not have to choose between reaching the whole group and being quick down the hall.
A wired system
Stops at the walls
A second site means a second installation, a second box, and a second thing that can break.
AltoSignal
One account, every building
Nothing on site. Add a location without adding hardware, and inside each one, screens still hand signals straight to each other.
Unlimited
Staff seats, on every plan. You pay for screens, never for people.
$265
A month for 120 devices: ten locations at twelve screens each, on one bill, with every screen past the fifth costing less than the one before.
One
Account across every property, with one place to manage all of it.
Zero
Hardware to install per site. No wiring, no on-site box, no IT visit.
Bigger means something different in each of these.
A med spa group and a resort spa have almost nothing in common except that a single-building system fits neither.
Med spas and med spa groups
Higher ticket, more rooms, more staff per room, and a compliance instinct.
- No guest names, notes or health information stored, anywhere.
- A BAA on request.
- Clinical and spa wings can word the same room states differently.
Resort and hotel spas
Many rooms, several buildings, and a network you do not control.
- One account across the spa, the pool, the cabanas and the desk.
- Screens keep signaling each other if the hotel wifi drops.
- Resort presets ship in the app: concierge, attendant, hydro pool, sauna.
Multi-location groups and franchises
The comparison every wired system loses outright.
- Nothing on site, so nothing to install per location.
- One place to manage staff, rooms and channels across every site.
- A small studio and a flagship each cost what their screens cost.
Large day spas, twenty screens and up
One building, but more of it than a wall system was designed for.
- Every screen past the twentieth is $2 a month or less.
- Housekeeping, dispensary, retail and the desk on one board.
- Channels, each with its own tone, so back of house does not hear the front.
Per device, not per person.
A spa is high headcount and low screen count: many people, far fewer screens. AltoSignal bills per screen with unlimited staff seats, so adding the whole team costs nothing. The model was built to answer a dental objection about per-user tiers, and it happens to suit spas better than the practices it was designed for.
Same price for a spa as for a dental practice: $25 a month covers the first five devices, and each band after that is cheaper than the last, from $4 a device down to $1.25. The bands run across the whole account, not per location, so ten locations at twelve screens each is 120 devices and $265 a month, not ten separate bills. Pay yearly and two months are free. See the numbers, or read how a signal crosses a building.
About groups and scale
Can one account cover more than one location?
Yes, and that is the part most systems cannot do at all. Staff, rooms and channels are managed in one place across every property. Inside each building, screens also hand signals straight to each other, so a site keeps signaling if its own connection drops.
How does pricing work across a group’s screens?
AltoSignal is priced per device, and the rate drops as you add devices. $25 a month covers your first 5 devices; devices 6–10 are $4 each, 11–20 are $3, 21–100 are $2, 101–200 are $1.50, and 201–500 are $1.25. Each band prices only the devices inside it, so a 120-device resort group pays $265 a month. Pay yearly and you get two months free. Staff seats are unlimited: you pay for the screens that receive signals, not for people. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial, no credit card. Past 500 devices, email sales@altosignal.com.
We have far more staff than screens. Does that cost more?
No. You pay per screen, never per person, and staff seats are unlimited. A resort spa with forty therapists working across twelve screens pays for twelve. That suits a spa better than it suits the dental practices the model was designed for, where the ratio is closer to one screen per person.
Do you sign a BAA for a med spa?
A BAA is available on request. It is worth knowing what AltoSignal stores first: no guest names, no notes and no health information. Signals carry a role, an action and a room, so the compliance question is usually smaller than people expect.
Can different properties use different wording?
Yes, within one account. Room states travel as identifiers and are read back through each screen's own list, so a med spa wing and a day spa wing can show different words for the same condition and still agree what a room is.
