WorshipMetrics

WorshipMetrics is a church AV and worship platform for planning services, presenting content, running production, streaming, and monitoring equipment. It suits volunteer-led teams, staffed production departments, and multi-site churches that want these jobs connected. The trade-off is scope: churches seeking only presentation, scheduling, or volunteer coordination may be better served by a narrower tool.

Overview

Present covers slide editing, lyrics, scripture, playlists, media, and stage display, and is free forever. Tech Manager adds a Windows booth application with production dashboards, switcher and camera controls, stream-health views, and booth telemetry. Together they connect preparation with Sunday control-room work.

The song library records CCLI numbers, keys, arrangements, chord charts, and scheduling history, with import from Planning Center. Cloud control uses an outbound connection from Tech Manager, limits access to invited team members, and records remote actions in support history. Customer data remains exportable after cancellation, an important safeguard for churches changing systems.

Key features

Presentation, production, and integration

Present gives worship teams one place for service media and stage output. Tech Manager provides operational visibility and control from Windows. Local control for OBS, vMix, and Blackmagic ATEM, plus NDI and PTZ camera support, suits teams coordinating cameras, switchers, and presentation from a shared workflow. Churches with none of that production hardware will gain less from the platform's breadth.

Streaming and monitoring

Stream can send one feed to YouTube, Facebook, a church website player, and other destinations, with up to ten destinations on its plan. Scheduled broadcasts and website embedding support recurring services without requiring viewers to use a single social network. Pulse monitors machines, connected devices, and streams continuously, with alerts and AV-health information; that is particularly valuable when volunteers need warning before a service rather than a post-service diagnosis.

Support and access

Support is offered by ticket, chat, and phone at 910-WORSHIP. Journey, an AI phone assistant, can bring in a person. The invitation-only access model and recorded remote actions provide accountability for cloud control, while the Windows requirement for Tech Manager narrows booth-device choices.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, with no credit card, trial clock, or expiration. It allows unlimited users, but practical cloud-storage and clip limits apply; one signage screen is included, and streaming is enabled on request. It is a sensible way to run Present for a small team, but storage and signage constraints can become material for media-heavy services.

Assist costs $49 a month, or annual billing at 10-month pricing for the year (two months free). It adds unlimited AI support, cloud control, Planning Center sync, unlimited signage screens, and full media and song libraries without storage caps. This is the entry point for churches that need a persistent operational workspace rather than a capped presentation setup.

Stream costs $99 a month, with the same annual 10-month pricing. It permits up to 10 simultaneous destinations, 20 live-stream hours per month, 2,500 embedded-player or watch-page viewer-hours per month, and 120-day cloud-archive retention. Choose it when distribution and archive terms fit your schedule; high-volume broadcasters may outgrow the quotas.

Care is a $199 a month support add-on with weekday production support, a priority queue, and a monthly system review. Sunday Assurance is a $499 a month add-on offering a production professional on call every Sunday, remote system access, and a pre-service check, subject to limited availability. Managed costs $1,299 a month, includes the Stream tier, and provides a fully handled production partnership. These support tiers target churches buying operational coverage, not just software licenses.

Platforms

WorshipMetrics runs on the web and Windows. The web reach suits planning and administration, while Tech Manager's Windows desktop focus matters for the booth. Churches standardizing on macOS or mobile booth devices should account for that limitation.

Who it's for

Volunteer-run churches benefit from Pulse alerts, guided support options, and a free starting tier. Dedicated production teams gain hardware control, stream telemetry, and song-management history. Multi-site churches can use centralized workflows and multi-destination streaming, with paid plans removing storage and signage caps where needed. A church wanting only volunteer rosters, calendars, or basic slides should look at a narrower product.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Presentation, production, streaming, and monitoring share one church-focused platform.
• Pro: Pulse can surface equipment or stream problems continuously, before volunteers discover them during a service.
• Pro: Assist removes storage caps and adds unlimited signage, cloud control, and Planning Center sync.
• Con: The free tier limits practical storage and clips and includes only one signage screen.
• Con: Stream's 20-hour and 2,500 viewer-hour monthly quotas may constrain larger online audiences.
• Con: Tech Manager is Windows-only, and the broader feature set is unnecessary for presentation-only teams.

Alternatives

For volunteer coordination, compare the Church Volunteer Management Software category. Service preparation belongs in Worship Planning Software, while rota-focused teams should review Church Scheduling Software. For slides without full AV operations, see Church Presentation Software.

WorshipTools Presenter is a better fit when broad device coverage matters: it supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, with a free plan for 10 users, 500 MB of cloud storage, and 15 items per service. Choose GraceSquad for volunteer and member coordination, including up to 100 members on its free Starter plan. HolyJot suits individuals or churches wanting a permanently free journaling and faith-conversation app rather than production control.

Planning Center is the stronger choice when church administration is the priority, with free Calendar, People, and Services options. AidOrbit is aimed at volunteer and mission-program management. ChurchCMS fits churches wanting a self-hosted or managed web platform, while RosterThat and SimpleServ focus on roster and service-team scheduling.

Verdict

Choose WorshipMetrics if your church needs presentation, booth production, streaming, and AV health in one connected system, especially with volunteers, multiple campuses, or a need for paid operational support. Its main advantage is coordination across the entire service pipeline. Look elsewhere if you only need slides, calendars, or volunteer rosters, or if Windows is not suitable for the production booth.
