The short verdict
Choose EasyWorship if your church wants a clear, church-specific presentation workflow that volunteers can learn quickly. Choose ProPresenter if you need advanced outputs, flexible layouts, stage displays, production-grade control, or a workflow that can grow with a larger AV team.
Pricing comparison
- Checked 15 October 2026: EasyWorship Basic starts at $210/year ($17.50/month equivalent); Premium starts at $330/year ($27.50/month equivalent). Pricing depends on attendance and includes a single-campus license.
- Renewed Vision lists new ProPresenter subscriptions from $29/month or $289/year for one seat, with tiered annual pricing for additional seats. Legacy customers have separate terms.
- These are US dollar software prices, not quotes for your whole setup. Compare your attendance, presenting computers, campuses, media and hardware, then confirm the vendor checkout before buying.
Volunteer learning curve
EasyWorship tends to feel more approachable for churches moving from PowerPoint or a simple lyrics tool. ProPresenter can still be volunteer-friendly, but it rewards a more intentional setup and training process.
Outputs and production
ProPresenter is usually the stronger option for churches with confidence monitors, multiple screens, livestream lower thirds, stage display, and custom output routing. EasyWorship can handle normal worship presentation needs, but ProPresenter gives more production headroom.
Live translation and captions
Both tools can sit alongside a translation workflow. With Voco, most churches either display a QR code for attendee phones or use display links for captions in a presentation or streaming workflow. ProPresenter's Web Item flow is especially useful for lower-third translated captions.
Try the same service in both before deciding
- 1Build a representative serviceInclude the songs, Scripture passages, videos, notices and sermon slides your team normally uses. Use the real computer and screen connections.
- 2Check each audience separatelyInspect the projector, confidence monitor and livestream independently. Write down which outputs need different content, captions or layouts.
- 3Hand over to a volunteerAsk a regular operator to make a late song change, recover from a missing item and run the service without the person who built it. Compare the training and recovery effort.
- 4Price the complete setupCount presenting computers, campuses, media and any new hardware. If translation is needed, rehearse that workflow too; a presentation-software purchase does not establish translation quality.
