Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bible Gateway

  • Study Bibles, commentaries and dictionaries all require Plus at $6.99 a month or $69.99 a year
  • The free tier carries advertising, removed only on Plus
  • The free account covers translations, notes and reading plans but no reference works

EasyWorship

  • Subscription only rather than a perpetual licence, so presentation software stops when payment stops
  • Priced on average weekly attendance, so the cost rises with congregation size rather than with usage
  • Basic starts at $17.50 a month and Premium at $27.50, both quoted as starting prices
  • The included media library of backgrounds and countdowns is Premium only, so Basic users supply their own
