Where each one falls short

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

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

ParishSOFT

  • ParishSOFT publishes no pricing for its named product suite (Family Suite, Giving, Accounting, Diocesan Accounting, Diocesan CRM) on its own site; the only purchase path offered is Contact Us, with no figures anywhere on the page.
