Vendor-published comparison. Competitor data sourced from public marketing materials and reseller listings (last verified: 2026-05-13). Corrections welcomed at support@craftwall.pro.

Both Craft Wall and Polywall are RF- domestic platforms aimed at situation centres and government control rooms. Polywall has a deep gov channel via Polymedia; Craft Wall offers a modern, browser-controlled, software-only alternative at a lower price point.

What Polywall does

Polywall is the video-wall product line of Polymedia, a long-established Russian AV integrator. The PolyWall 5000 controller handles up to 20 inputs and 20 outputs and is paired with the Polywall management software. Polywall Personal VR adds a VR control room experience. Listed in Реестр Минцифры, with strong placement in federal and regional government deployments.

Where Craft Wall is different

  • Software-only. No PolyWall 5000 controller hardware (~3–5 млн ₽) to procure, ship, warranty, or refresh.
  • Modern UI. Browser client built on contemporary web stack vs Polywall's Windows-7-era desktop look.
  • Cheaper. Per-canvas +per-source pricing typically lands ~30% below comparable Polywall configurations.
  • Same regulatory posture. Both companies are RU residents; both target Реестр Минцифры — Craft Wall is in the application pipeline.

When Polywall is the better fit

Federal procurements that explicitly list Polywall as preferred vendor on a prior contract, projects requiring VR control room, or deployments where Polymedia's integration team is already on retainer.

When Craft Wall is the better fit

Cost-sensitive regional and municipal procurements, deployments wanting a modern browser UI, NOC/SOC builds where the controller hardware capex is the constraint.
