Planning Center Music Stand is a digital music reader for worship teams.

ProPresenter is a live worship presentation suite.

Church Motion Graphics (CMG), now part of Ministry Brands, provides subscription-based media resources for churches, including motion backgrounds, countdowns, templates, and social media graphics. While they offer quality visual tools that help churches present the gospel more clearly, most of their resources sit behind a paywall, meaning churches must subscribe to access the majority of content. Founded in 2010 and later acquired by Ministry Brands, CMG also develops CMG Designer and maintains a large curated library to serve church creatives.

Planning Center Music Stand is a digital music reader that connects to your Planning Center Services account, allowing musicians to view sheet music, annotate, and control playback during rehearsals and services. It offers features such as hands-free page turns using a Bluetooth foot pedal, annotation tools (highlighter, pen, text), and the ability to listen to attached audio files. Music Stand is an add-on app to Planning Center Services, and its pricing is based on the Services pricing plan. Users should verify whether there are any data portability restrictions or lock-in issues before fully integrating the service.

ProPresenter is a polished presentation and production suite aimed for churches, conferences, and live events — but available only behind a paid license. It delivers multi‑screen lyric projection, Bible display, media playback, and video production features, with additional costs for certain Bible translations and optional modules. As proprietary software, it locks core functionality behind purchase or subscription, and ongoing updates depend on maintaining that license.

EasyWorship is a commercial church presentation software that helps ministries display lyrics, scriptures, videos, and sermon slides. It offers integrations with livestream setups, CCLI, and MIDI, along with subscription-based pricing for basic or premium media packages. While widely used in worship services, it operates as a for-profit business.

Omega by Ministry Designs is a leading church website solution that helps thousands of churches around the world. Omega is designed specifically to help churches reach more people and better engage their current members.

Church Visuals is the flagship church visual design platform from Ministry Designs, created to help ministries launch and manage professional, mobile‑responsive visual content without coding. It uses a block‑based editing system, a large library of pre‑designed pages and content blocks, and built‑in SEO optimization to help churches reach more people online. Ministry Designs offers migration services, custom design setup, and access to 1,000+ design templates, along with optional add‑ons like online giving and media libraries. While ministry‑oriented, Church Visuals is sold under a for‑profit model with subscription fees for ongoing access and support.

Asaph is an AI-powered assistant designed to help worship teams plan gospel-centered set lists, analyze song theology, and gather team feedback. It integrates with Planning Center and offers features like sentiment analysis, lyric theology scoring, and mobile collaboration. While innovative and ministry-focused, Asaph is operated for profit by a commercial entity. Churches should be aware that Planning Center itself is a proprietary platform, and long-term use may involve data lock-in or limited portability—especially for set lists, scheduling, and team data.

Nepali Christian Lyrics & Chords is a free mobile app created by Paurakh Sharma Humagain that provides access to a large library of Nepali Christian worship songs with chords. It includes features like auto-scroll, chord transposition, video chord images, favorites, and offline playlist sharing. The app is widely used by Nepali-speaking churches and worship leaders as a practical tool for learning and leading songs. Unlike many commercial worship apps, this one is free to download and use, with no visible subscription model or paywall.

Zemare is a digital platform and mobile app focused on gospel music lyrics. It provides a large, searchable collection of worship songs organized by scale, genre, album, artist, language, and choir. Beyond lyrics, Zemare adds biblical annotations, categorization, and cultural context, aiming to turn each lyric into a discipleship moment. The app is community-driven: users can contribute lyrics, suggest edits, and engage with others. It is designed for fans, artists, and worship teams, especially within the Ethiopian and broader African gospel tradition, but it is expanding globally.

MxU is a subscription-based training platform designed to equip church worship and tech teams with video courses, coaching, and volunteer management tools. While it markets itself as a ministry resource, it operates as a commercial service with tiered pricing plans, positioning itself more as a professional training company than a nonprofit.

Kaleo AI is a real-time church translation and captioning platform that enables worship services to be instantly translated into 150+ languages. Custom-trained on theological terminology and biblical names, it ensures accuracy in a church context (e.g., recognizing “epistle” instead of “a pistol”). Congregants can follow along on their own devices via captions or audio, making services accessible for multilingual communities and the hearing impaired. Pricing is subscription-based (starting at $24/month), with unlimited users per church. While deeply mission-driven, Kaleo AI is operated by EID Systems Inc. as a commercial SaaS product.
