Touch Table and Touch Panel Software: 8 Alternatives Compared (2026)
People search for a Padzilla alternative or a Gipper Touch alternative for different reasons. Padzilla is a rented or purchased giant iPhone display; Gipper Touch is hall-of-fame software for schools. Neither is a general way to put your own catalog, videos and slides on a touch table or touch panel — so the useful comparison is wider than two products.
In short: if you already have, or can rent, a Windows or macOS touch panel, kiosk or touch table, you do not need Padzilla-style hardware — install presentation software on it. For a trade show catalog with videos and PDF or PowerPoint slides, ExpoScreen is the cheapest one-time option ($79 to $199 per project). For ready-made games, Omnitapps4 (€645 one-time). For custom apps with integrations, Intuiface or PandaSuite (subscriptions). For a permanent museum table with object recognition, Ideum hardware with Tangible Engine, or eyefactive. For a school hall of fame, Gipper Touch.
Below: eight options — two hardware makers, one school product and five software tools, including our own — with prices checked on the vendors' sites on September 28, 2026. Where a vendor publishes no price, we say "on request" instead of guessing.
1. ExpoScreen (that's us)
A no-code builder for interactive presentations on touch panels, touch tables and kiosks at exhibition stands and showrooms. Videos, PDF and PowerPoint slides and photo galleries go into a nested menu with cover cards; the finished presentation is an offline app for Windows or macOS that visitors control by touch, or that your team drives from a phone, a tablet or a clicker.
Pricing: Free to build and preview. $79 Lite (touch mode, one platform), $199 Standard (touch, remote and clicker modes, Windows and macOS, unlimited updates, install on any number of devices), $499 Pro for agencies (5 projects a year). One-time per project, no subscription.
Runs on: Windows, macOS.
Best for: Trade show booths, showrooms and lobbies that need a content presentation on a touch panel or table within days, paid once.
Limitations: Presentations only — no custom app logic, games or API integrations. The finished app does not run on Android or iOS; a tablet is used as a remote.
2. Padzilla
A "giant iPhone": a 43", 55" or 65" touch display tethered to an iPhone and running native iOS, made by Crunchy Tech in Orlando, Florida. Available for rent at events or for purchase.
Pricing: Not published — rental and purchase quotes through the Padzilla store and sales team.
Runs on: iOS, from a tethered iPhone (the site lists the compatible model).
Best for: Demoing an iOS app or a mobile website at a booth exactly as it looks on a phone, or a big-phone attraction.
Limitations: Your content has to be an iPhone app or a website: there is no presentation builder, and offline use depends on what you run. For a catalog or slides, any Windows touch panel plus presentation software does the job without the tethered phone.
3. Gipper Touch
An interactive touchscreen product launched in 2025 by Gipper, a social-media graphics platform for schools. It builds a digital hall of fame — awards, records, alumni, championships — from graphics already stored in Gipper, and can publish the same experience as a website.
Pricing: On request ("Let's talk"). Gipper sells annual plans only; its other plans are listed at $625 to $3,000 per year, and touchscreen hardware bundles are quoted separately.
Runs on: A touchscreen driven by a Chromebox, Windows, Android or Mac device, or a Google EDLA-certified touchscreen.
Best for: K-12 athletic departments, colleges and clubs that already use Gipper for graphics and want a hall of fame on a campus touchscreen.
Limitations: Built for schools and athletics, not for product presentations at trade shows. Annual subscription, no published prices, and no published information about offline use.
4. Ideum touch tables
A US maker of multitouch tables, kiosks and walls — Pro II (49" to 75"), Platform, Duet — with Windows 11 Pro computers built in. Ideum also sells Tangible Engine, its object-recognition software for the tables, and includes a GestureWorks SDK license with the hardware.
Pricing: On request — "Contact us for pricing"; a pricing guide is available by request.
Runs on: Windows 11 Pro (built-in PC).
Best for: Museums, visitor centers and permanent installations that want a purpose-built table and, optionally, object recognition.
Limitations: Hardware first: the content software is yours to develop or buy. Because the tables run Windows, any Windows touch software works on them — including ExpoScreen and the Windows tools below.
5. Intuiface
The best-known professional platform for interactive touch experiences: a no-code Composer on Windows and a Player for the screen, with API integrations, analytics and web deployment.
Pricing: Subscription. The public pricing page lists Essential, Premier and Enterprise plans, but the amounts are visible only after registering. Every device needs a license: Composer and Player licenses are per device and can be moved between devices.
Runs on: Player for Windows, iPadOS, Android, Chrome OS, BrightSign, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS; Composer on Windows.
Best for: Agencies and enterprises building complex interactive experiences with data integrations across many screens.
Limitations: Subscription plus per-device licensing, no public price list, and far more capability — and setup — than a booth presentation needs.
6. PandaSuite
A French no-code app builder for kiosks, mobile and desktop that works offline. Exports EXE and DMG apps for Windows and macOS, native iOS and Android apps, and web apps.
Pricing: Free editor plan with one active project; Pro €24/month billed €290/year. Publishing is a separate per-app plan: Web €790/year, Single (native plus web) €990/year, Multi (5 projects) €1,690/year on yearly billing; monthly billing costs more. A pay-once export option lets you keep the exported app (as of September 2026).
Runs on: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, web.
Best for: Teams that need a custom kiosk or mobile app with logic — forms, quizzes, data — rather than a presentation.
Limitations: Publishing is billed per app; not exhibition-specific (no tablet remote or clicker mode), and a full app takes longer to build than a presentation.
7. Omnitapps4
A Windows suite of 24 ready-made multitouch apps and games — quiz, air hockey, photo wall, catalog — from the Netherlands. You configure prebuilt apps rather than build your own structure.
Pricing: Composer license €645 one-time (€580.50 each from 10 licenses), as of September 2026.
Runs on: Windows.
Best for: Booths and lobbies that want attractors and games out of the box.
Limitations: Windows only, templates instead of your own structure, and no remote control from a tablet.
8. eyefactive AppSuite
A German app platform for large multitouch screens and tables with object recognition, sold alongside eyefactive's own hardware: a free CMS plus a store of touch apps.
Pricing: CMS free; app plans are per device — Free with a watermark, Essential €89/month (€1,068/year), Extended €119/month (€1,428/year), Special €179/month (€2,148/year), as of September 2026.
Runs on: Windows.
Best for: Large permanent multitouch walls and tables, especially on eyefactive hardware.
Limitations: Per-device subscriptions, an ecosystem tied to the vendor's hardware, and a focus on installations rather than a booth you set up for one show.

How to choose
Start from the hardware you will actually have at the venue. A rented Padzilla is an iPhone; an Ideum table, a kiosk or a stand-builder's touch panel is a Windows PC; a Mac mini behind a display is macOS. Then match the content: an app you already have (Padzilla), a school archive (Gipper Touch), games (Omnitapps4), a custom app with data (Intuiface, PandaSuite), or a presentation made of the catalogs, videos and slides you already own.
If it is the last one — a product presentation for a booth or showroom, built by your own team, running offline on Windows or macOS, controlled by touch, from a tablet or with a clicker, and paid once per project — that is what ExpoScreen was built for.

What is the best Padzilla alternative for a trade show?
If you want to show a catalog, videos or slides rather than an iPhone app, rent or buy an ordinary Windows touch panel and install presentation software on it. ExpoScreen builds that presentation from your PDF, PowerPoint and video files in about an hour and costs $79 to $199 once per project; the hardware is any touch panel your stand builder supplies. Padzilla remains the right choice when the content itself is an iOS app or a mobile website.
Is there a Gipper Touch alternative for businesses rather than schools?
Gipper Touch is designed around school and athletic content. For a company showroom, lobby or trade show booth, the alternatives are general touch screen presentation tools: ExpoScreen for catalog-style presentations paid once per project, Intuiface or PandaSuite for custom apps, and Omnitapps4 for ready-made games on Windows.
What software runs on a touch table?
Most touch tables — including Ideum's — are Windows PCs with a large multitouch display, so any Windows touch software runs on them: ExpoScreen, Omnitapps4, Intuiface Player and eyefactive AppSuite all support Windows. Object recognition (physical objects placed on the table) needs specialized software such as Ideum's Tangible Engine or eyefactive's apps, usually tied to their hardware.
Do I need a touch table, or is a touch panel enough?
For a trade show booth a wall-mounted or stand-mounted touch panel is usually enough and much easier to transport; a touch table makes sense when several visitors should gather around the content, as in a showroom or a museum. The software is the same either way if both run Windows.
Which of these tools work offline?
ExpoScreen, Omnitapps4, PandaSuite and eyefactive run offline once installed. Intuiface Player runs offline but licensing is per device and managed through the platform. Padzilla depends on what you run on the iPhone, and Gipper publishes no information about offline use.
Which options are a one-time purchase rather than a subscription?
ExpoScreen is paid once per project ($79, $199 or $499). Omnitapps4 Composer is €645 one-time. PandaSuite offers a pay-once export option after a year's publishing plan. Padzilla and Ideum are hardware purchases or rentals with prices on request. Intuiface, eyefactive apps and Gipper Touch are subscriptions.
