  • They diverge on capability: PastorsLine covers SMS Messaging, EasyWorship covers Presentation.

Where each one falls short

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

PastorsLine

  • PastorsLine has joined the Text In Church family and its own pricing page now sells Text In Church plans instead of PastorsLine plans
  • No PastorsLine plan, rate or credit price is published on the pricing page any more
  • The only calls to action on the pricing page are a Text In Church free trial and a demo booking form

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
