The short version

  • Each has a real cost: EasyWorship subscription only rather than a perpetual licence, so presentation software stops when payment stops; Realm the Internet Archive's capture of ACS Technologies' Realm church management page on 16 January 2021 named three distinct plan tiers, Inform, Connect and Multiply, sold via demo request with no price figure published.
  • They diverge on capability: EasyWorship covers Presentation, Realm covers Member Directory.

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

Realm

  • The Internet Archive's capture of ACS Technologies' Realm church management page on 16 January 2021 named three distinct plan tiers, Inform, Connect and Multiply, sold via demo request with no price figure published.
