Where each one falls short

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

Quelea

  • Quelea is 100% free open source software with no paid tier or vendor support contract

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
