![]() The MediaShout team has collaborated with Dell to build a variety of hardware bundles designed with churches in mind.īuilt with PowerPoint in mind. While most other options either don’t support multi-screen functionality or require you to spend extra to get it, MediaShout 6 comes with it built in. That’s a lot more starter content than other available options. A MediaShout license comes with more than 2,500 songs with ready-to-go lyrics, and 67 free Bibles. No other church presentation software offers such a high degree of support for its users.įree content included. One of things that sets MediaShout apart most is its 7-day-a-week customer service. ![]() There’s a reason MediaShout 6 is at the top of my list not only is it affordable, but there are a lot of positive factors that make it a good choice.Ĭustomer support. Pricing model: purchase outright (as opposed to a subscription) This guide should help you pick the presentation software that’s best-suited to meet your church’s needs. There are even two completely free church presentation software options on the list. You’ll see what each option costs, what it does best, and what platforms it’s designed to run on. I could go on and on, but the info is out there for anybody to compare and judge these three presentation products side-by-side.It can be tough to decide which presentation software is right for your church, so I’ve put together a list of all the best options on the market today. MediaShout is also now available for Mac, too. Upgrades are cheap, updates are frequent, and with a few short tutorials any church can be up and running with MediaShout in no time. It hits that sweet spot between ease-of-use and power. ![]() MediaShout is the most feature rich, well-organized, and best valued software in this category. It’s complicated, far too expensive (example – you must purchase the license for every Bible you want to use.), and has crashed on me numerous times. It’s reputation really gives it too much credit. ![]() In the other corner is the mighty and acclaimed ProPresenter, who’s greatest strength is in name only. It may be easy to set up, but it’s just not powerful enough and lacks the polish of a truly professional product. In a nutshell, EasyWorship is not suitable for any church over 100 people. I won’t waste words telling about all the bugs, irritations, and problems with ProPresenter and EasyWorship. Native Quicktime support, countdown timers, adjustable stage displays, and even pdf cues (the ability to display pdf files) are just a view new tools it now offers. So my advice: go with MediaShout, my personal favorite.Ĭurrently at version 4.5, mediashout now offers the best value in it’s category. right? Back to the main question – so many programs, all around the same cost, same “feature set”, which one should we use? So am I an expert? Oh I don’t know but I get paid to do it, so that makes me at least a professional. ![]() And with each program (save Easyworship) I built it from the ground up and maintained it. MediaShout for about 2 1/2 years, EasyWorship for about 2 1/2 years, and ProPresenter for about 6 months. As a church worker/minister, I’ve used each one of these extensively. The 3 biggies are ProPresenter, MediaShout, or EasyWorship (at least in the area of the US where I live and in the denominations where I have served). If there’s one thing that can divide worship “techies” quicker than the question “should we have moving backgrounds or not?”, it’s got to be what media presention software to use. ![]()
