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

Text In Church

  • Text volume is the binding limit: 500 texts per month on Basic, 1,500 on Pro and 2,500 on Premium
  • Local phone numbers are capped at 1, 2 and 3 across the three plans
  • Monthly billing costs $37, $67 and $97 against $31, $56 and $81 when paid annually, so monthly is roughly 19% more
  • The calling features are a separate Calling Plus add-on at $10 per month per seat
  • Concierge onboarding starts at $249 as a one-off charge purchased at checkout
  • Churches needing more than 2,500 texts a month have no published plan and must contact support
