EasyWorship vs ProPresenter:
Which is right for your church?

Is EasyWorship cheaper than ProPresenter?

Yes.

EasyWorship Basic starts at $210 per year, covering all the computers and users at your licensed church campus with no per-seat software charges. Pricing varies by average weekly attendance.

ProPresenter starts at $289 per year for one activated presentation seat. Two activated seats cost $478 per year, $268 more than EasyWorship’s starting campus price. Additional activated seats increase ProPresenter’s subscription cost, while adding computers at your licensed campus does not increase your EasyWorship price.

EasyWorship’s Premium Media library costs an additional $120 per year for 50,700+ pieces of content. ProContent Premium is a separate purchase costing $199 per year plus a $99 sign-up fee in the first year.

Which is easier for volunteers to learn?

EasyWorship.

EasyWorship is designed for volunteer-led churches that want straightforward church presentation software. Its workflow brings service preparation, slide preview, and live presentation together, helping volunteers prepare and run Sunday services confidently. A dedicated preview pane lets operators check content before sending it live, and every subscription includes an instructor-led basic training session.

Every new volunteer needs onboarding, so simplicity matters as your team changes. A familiar workflow and included training help new operators get comfortable and make handing off responsibilities easier.

ProPresenter offers advanced editing, automation, and production controls for teams that need them. Using those capabilities introduces more settings and workflows to learn, which can require additional setup and volunteer training. For churches prioritizing ease of use, volunteer onboarding, and straightforward weekly operation, EasyWorship is a strong choice.

Is EasyWorship or ProPresenter better for a small church?

EasyWorship.

EasyWorship serves churches of all sizes and is a strong fit for small churches that need song lyrics, Scripture, sermon slides, media, and livestream output in a straightforward presentation workflow. Its main, alternate, and stage outputs support common church setups, with campus licensing, included training, and personal support keeping costs and preparation manageable.

ProPresenter offers additional capabilities such as four or more independent outputs, direct broadcast hardware connections, and advanced automations. These can justify choosing it when your church specifically needs them. Those requirements depend on your production setup, not simply your congregation’s size.

If EasyWorship covers your service requirements, its simpler workflow and lower starting price give your church a practical reason to choose it. Focus on the capabilities your team will use each week when deciding what is worth paying for.

How do EasyWorship and ProPresenter handle song editing and lyric slides?

EasyWorship lets you edit full-song text and reflow lyric slides within the Song Editor’s slide outline. Choose one, two, or four lines per slide to split lyrics automatically, or place slide breaks manually when a verse or chorus needs a specific layout. Song editing and slide-break adjustments stay in the same workflow.

ProPresenter supports full-song text editing through its separate Reflow Editor, where you can change lyrics, split slides, and combine them. EasyWorship keeps these adjustments directly in the Song Editor, so your team can refine lyrics, adjust slide breaks, and design the appearance of slides without switching to a separate reflow mode.

Do EasyWorship and ProPresenter work on both Mac and Windows?

Yes. Both products run on Mac and Windows.

EasyWorship 8 runs natively on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs as well as Windows PCs, with the same features and visual layout across platforms.

Your team can prepare EasyWorship schedules, songs, and media on Windows and use them on a Mac, or vice versa. A campus license covers your eligible church computers without requiring a separate EasyWorship license for each platform.

Before installing either product, check its current system requirements and compatibility with your connected hardware.

How many independent outputs does each support?

EasyWorship supports three simultaneous outputs: main, alternate, and stage.

These let you use different themes for your congregation and an additional destination such as a livestream, while providing a confidence monitor view for the people on stage.

ProPresenter supports four or more independent outputs and more extensive screen configuration. It is worth considering when your service needs several distinct audience, room, or production feeds.

Count the different views you need, rather than simply the number of physical screens. Screens displaying the same feed do not necessarily require separate independent outputs. With either product, your computer, connections, and video hardware must support the setup you intend to run.

How do their service-planning options compare?

EasyWorship offers its own Planning Beta for building service agendas, scheduling volunteers, and sharing setlists.

You can export an agenda and import it into EasyWorship’s presentation software, giving your team a starting point for preparing the service.

Planning Beta is free for active EasyWorship subscribers during the public beta, including trial subscribers. Full synchronization between planning and presentation is in development and is not available during the beta.

ProPresenter supports Planning Center service plan import. EasyWorship does not currently integrate with Planning Center. If your team depends on that connection, it is a meaningful difference; if you are looking for planning tools alongside EasyWorship, you can try Planning Beta now.

How does Bible licensing compare between EasyWorship and ProPresenter?

Both products offer free and paid Bible translations, including popular versions such as the NIV, ESV, NLT, and NKJV.

EasyWorship licenses paid Bible plugins per church site, so one purchase covers that translation on all computers at your licensed location. ProPresenter licenses paid translations per computer, requiring additional purchases when the same translation is needed on multiple machines.

For churches using a booth computer, an office computer, and a backup, EasyWorship’s site licensing can reduce the total cost of paid Bible translations.

Do EasyWorship and ProPresenter offer cloud sync?

EasyWorship is developing cloud synchronization, but that capability should not be treated as available today. ProPresenter offers Cloud in its version 22 public beta.

EasyWorship Planning Beta currently connects to the presentation software through agenda export and import. Automatic synchronization between the two is planned, but will not be part of the beta.

How do the EasyWorship and ProPresenter free trials compare?

EasyWorship offers a fully functional 30-day trial with no watermark and no credit card required.

ProPresenter offers a 14-day unrestricted trial that requires a credit card and converts to a paid subscription unless canceled.

EasyWorship’s longer trial gives your team more time to prepare real services, test your screens, and let different volunteers experience the workflow before deciding.

What support and training are included with each product?

Every EasyWorship subscription includes phone and email support, screen-sharing troubleshooting, and an instructor-led basic training session at no additional cost.

Your team also has access to documentation, training videos, and the user community.

For a volunteer-led church, that means you can get help learning the workflow and have someone work through a technical issue with you when needed.

ProPresenter also includes support and provides documentation, tutorials, and community resources. Compare the available contact methods and support hours with when your team prepares and rehearses. EasyWorship’s included instructor-led session gives new teams a guided starting point alongside its ongoing support.
