MyCloudCinema alternatives: keep the cloud POS, fix the front end

MyCloudCinema is a cloud cinema POS from Dublin, sold to stand-alone cinemas and chains, with customers it names in Finland, the UK, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. It covers ticket sales online, at the counter, at kiosks and by phone, food and beverage, loyalty, signage, scheduling, TMS integration and reporting. For the web, it offers website integration that syncs the POS with the cinema's existing website.

That is a sound operational foundation, and there is rarely a reason to move off it. What cinemas on MyCloudCinema are usually looking for is the other half: a website worth landing on, an app on the phone, and a real relationship with the people who buy. That is a front-end problem, and Filmgrail solves it without touching the POS.

Your audience never sees your POS. They see your website, your app and your checkout, and that is all Filmgrail builds. Film pages with trailers, context and structured data that can rank for a film in your town. Native iOS and Android apps with push when a saved film goes on sale. A checkout built and measured on completion rate. Loyalty and audience analytics in the same customer record. Across cinemas on Filmgrail, nine in ten end users create a profile, and the average yearly increase in digital ticket sales is 89%.

Filmgrail reads programme, sessions, seating and pricing from MyCloudCinema and writes each completed sale back, so your reporting stays in one place. The MyCloudCinema integration page shows exactly what moves between the two.

Because a cloud box office deserves a front end of the same standard. Filmgrail runs cinemas from single-screen town cinemas to Bergen Kino, Trondheim Kino and Ster-Kinekor.

Pricing is published and scales by screens: from $200 a year for a single screen to $20,000 a year for a large circuit, flat per screen with no per-ticket fees (see pricing). Because we already integrate with MyCloudCinema, you can be live in a few weeks.

See it before you talk to anyone: the cinema website prototype tool builds a version of your own site from its current URL. Then book a demo against your real programme.
