Where Voco wins

Transparent pricing — no sales call

Voco publishes its prices: £8/week (Simple) or £15/week (Church). Wordly requires you to contact their sales team for a quote. Churches on Reddit have reported Wordly quotes around $2,400/year per output language — that's user-reported, not Wordly's official rate, but it gives a sense of the tier.

106+ languages including Farsi

Voco supports 106+ vs Wordly's 60+. For diaspora congregations with Farsi, Tagalog, Amharic, or Haitian Creole speakers, that breadth matters — and Farsi specifically is a language many tools handle poorly.

Built for church WiFi that drops

Voco auto-reconnects and backfills the text missed during a WiFi dropout — so a brief interruption doesn't leave someone lost for ten minutes. This is the failure mode churches mention most with cloud translation tools.

Live in 3 minutes, no sales call

Self-serve setup, 7-day free trial with no card required. You can test across two Sundays before deciding.

Where Wordly wins

An honest comparison means showing both sides.

White-glove onboarding

Every customer gets a Customer Success team that handles setup, training, glossary creation, and even a dress rehearsal before your first service. If you don't have a tech-confident volunteer, that hand-holding is valuable.

Enterprise track record

Wordly is used across large institutions including denominations and major events. That depth of experience and reliability track record matters for high-stakes services.

Transcripts and summaries

Wordly generates full transcripts and session summaries — useful for sermon archives, accessibility records, or follow-up notes.

Pricing comparison

Voco: £8/week (Simple — 1 service, 1–2 language groups, unlimited attendees) or £15/week (Church — all languages, OBS & ProPresenter, glossary, custom URL). Wordly does not publish pricing — it offers Start, Expand, and Wide Adoption tiers with volume discounts, contact them for a quote. *(Prices verified June 2026 — confirm current pricing on each provider's site.)*

Frequently asked questions

Does either Voco or Wordly need my congregation to download an app?

No. With both Voco and Wordly, attendees scan a QR code (or open a link) and read the translation in their phone's browser — nothing to install.

Which supports more languages?

Voco supports 106+ languages including Farsi; Wordly supports 60+. If your congregation includes Farsi, Tagalog, Amharic, or less common language groups, Voco's breadth is the clearer fit.

Can I show captions on screen or a livestream?

Voco includes OBS and ProPresenter overlays on its £15/week Church plan. Wordly can display captions on monitors — check their documentation for AV software integrations.

How much does Wordly cost for churches?

Wordly doesn't publish pricing — you need to request a quote. Churches on Reddit have reported figures around $2,400/year per output language, though this is user-reported and not Wordly's stated rate. Voco is £8–£15/week, published openly.

Can I try Voco before committing?

Yes — 7-day free trial, no card required. Wordly offers demos but doesn't publish trial terms.
