What Ekko is
Ekko is a faith-based engagement and discipleship platform for churches, conferences, ministries, and other organizations. It helps ministries connect with their audiences between broadcasts through groups, prayer, messages, content, events, and courses. Ministries can choose a fully branded app for the App Store and Google Play, or use co-branded or Ekko-branded options. Teaching tools include AI-generated sermon highlights, study guides, and discussion questions, with pastor review and approval and engagement tracking. For conferences, Ekko lists HD live streaming, automatic recording, DVR, on-demand replays, and generated highlight clips. Its pricing model is freemium, with a free personal app and a free trial; no trial duration is stated, and ministry pricing is quote-based according to audience size, features, and branding. Ekko says it handles personal information under Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles. Sensitive information is used only with consent, spiritual health data is shared with leaders only when users opt in, and personal information is not sold. AI tools are restricted to users aged 18 or older.
