There is no free tier. EasyWorship does offer a 30-day fully-functional free trial. After 30 days the software continues to run as an unlimited-time demo with a watermark on output, so churches can keep evaluating before subscribing. **Is there a free trial of EasyWorship?** Yes. EasyWorship offers a 30-day fully-functional free trial, the longest in the church presentation category. All features are unlocked during the trial. No credit card is required to start. After 30 days the software continues to run as an unlimited-time demo with a watermark on output. **Does EasyWorship work on Mac?** Yes. EasyWorship 8 runs natively on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Both Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4, and newer) and Intel Macs are supported, as long as the Mac is running macOS 14 or later. No virtualization, Bootcamp, or workarounds are required. Schedules, songs, and media files work the same on Mac and Windows. **Which Mac chips does EasyWorship 8 support?** EasyWorship 8 supports Apple Silicon M-series chips (M1, M2, M3, M4, and any newer M-series chip), the Apple A18 Pro chip in the 2026 MacBook Neo (the first A-series Mac), and Intel-based Macs. The requirement is the operating system, not the chip family: any Mac that can install macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later will run EasyWorship 8. That covers all current Apple Silicon Macs, the MacBook Neo, and Intel Macs from roughly 2018 onward (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, iMac), plus iMac Pro (2017) and Mac Pro (2019). Older Intel Macs that cannot run macOS 14 are not supported. **Does EasyWorship 8 work on the new MacBook Neo with the A18 Pro chip?** Yes. The 2026 MacBook Neo (Apple's first Mac powered by an A-series chip, the A18 Pro) is supported by EasyWorship 8. The Neo ships with macOS Tahoe (macOS 26), which is well above EasyWorship 8's macOS 14 Sonoma minimum. EasyWorship runs natively on the A18 Pro. The A18 Pro's integrated 5-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine handle standard presentation output, video playback, and livestream workflows without a discrete graphics card. Schedules, songs, and media built on a MacBook Neo are interchangeable with Mac and Windows installations elsewhere in the church. **Does EasyWorship work on Windows?** Yes. EasyWorship 8 runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit recommended). **How much does EasyWorship cost?** Pricing is based on average weekly church attendance. The Basic plan starts at $17.50/month billed annually ($210/year) at the smallest attendance tier. Premium starts at $27.50/month billed annually ($330/year). Annual billing saves 17% compared with monthly billing (equivalent to two months free). Every plan includes a campus license, free customer support, and software updates. **Can I buy EasyWorship outright instead of subscribing?** No. EasyWorship is sold as a subscription only. There is no perpetual license option. The annual plan (17% off, two months free) is the most cost-effective option for churches that prefer fewer transactions per year. **Does EasyWorship support CCLI SongSelect?** Yes. SongSelect by CCLI is integrated directly in the software, including automatic CCLI usage reporting. **Does EasyWorship work with OBS and vMix for livestreaming?** Yes. EasyWorship 8 outputs to OBS Studio, vMix, and most broadcast and livestreaming setups via NDI (Network Device Interface) for wireless integration over the local network, or via capture card for wired integration. Alpha channel output is supported, so lyrics, lower thirds, and slides can be keyed over a live video feed without a black background. This works on both Windows and Mac. **Does EasyWorship work with Loop Community Prime, MultiTracks Playback, or Ableton Live?** Yes. EasyWorship 8 includes MIDI support, which enables integration with multitrack playback rigs and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) environments including Loop Community Prime, MultiTracks Playback, and Ableton Live. MIDI cues sent from the audio playback rig can advance slides, trigger scenes, and keep the visual presentation in sync with the music program throughout the service. EasyWorship can also act as the MIDI source to control and sync multiple EasyWorship instances. **How many Bible translations does EasyWorship include?** 95+ Bible translations are available as Plugins. Many translations are included free. Premium translations are available as one-time add-on purchases ranging from $14 to $29 each. **Do I need a dedicated graphics card to run EasyWorship?** On Windows, a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT-class GPU is required at minimum, with GTX or RTX recommended for HD video playback and multi-output setups. On Apple Silicon Macs (M-series and A18 Pro in the MacBook Neo), the built-in GPU handles all output scenarios with no separate graphics card needed. On Intel Macs, the integrated or built-in dedicated GPU shipped with the machine is generally sufficient for standard worship presentation use. **Can I move my files between Mac and Windows?** Yes. EasyWorship 8 uses the same schedules, songs, and media formats on both platforms. Files created on one platform open on the other. **Where is EasyWorship headquartered?** Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. EasyWorship is made by Softouch Development, Inc., founded in 1998.
