MakeChurchEasy

MakeChurchEasy is an OBS Studio dock for running Bible passages, worship lyrics, media, and livestream graphics from one workspace. It is best suited to church media teams and volunteers already building services in OBS. The main trade-off is breadth: the free tier is a useful starting point, but substantial libraries, collaboration, and AI usage sit behind paid plans.

Overview

MakeChurchEasy combines service presentation with broadcast operation instead of treating them as separate jobs. Operators can search scripture, compare passages and translations side by side, prepare songs, play media, and control announcements, countdowns, timers, clocks, lower thirds, and multi-view layouts from the OBS dock. Full-screen and lower-third lyric output, multi-screen support, and media playback cover both in-room presentation and streamed services.

Its direct OBS integration is the defining advantage for teams already committed to that production environment. EasyWorship and ProPresenter content import is free on every plan, reducing the friction of moving an existing library. After setup, many local presentation actions can work with downloaded content, but account sign-in, downloads, cloud sync, billing, updates, and AI services require an internet connection.

Key features

Scripture and Verse AI

The Bible dock provides scripture search and side-by-side translation comparison, with access to more than 10,000 Bible translations. That makes it practical for churches serving multilingual congregations or switching versions during a service. Verse AI listens to microphone or OBS audio, proposes spoken Bible references for operator approval, and can capture sermon quotes and transcripts. It is an operator-assistance feature rather than unattended automation: internet access and plan credits or quotas apply, so teams dependent on it should budget speech-to-scripture hours and maintain a reliable connection.

Worship and broadcast controls

Song organization and lyric-slide preparation support repeatable worship sets, while full-screen or lower-third presentation gives operators options for both venue screens and streams. Lower thirds, announcement tickers, timers, clocks, countdowns, media presentation, and multi-view layouts extend the dock beyond lyrics and verses. Automatic OBS scenes and sources arrive with Basic, making that tier more useful for teams that want less manual scene setup.

Import and operating requirements

Free EasyWorship and ProPresenter imports are included at every level. The download supports Windows 10/11 and macOS 13 or later on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs; browser presentation links are also supported. The published minimum is 4 GB of RAM and 500 MB of free disk space, with OBS Studio 30.0 or later recommended. Android and iOS are supported alongside Windows and macOS, with the Growth plan adding a mobile control app.

Pricing

Free fits a small team testing the workflow, provided ten songs, five Bible versions, and the short AI allowance are enough. Basic is the sensible single-campus upgrade when local libraries, all versions, automatic OBS setup, or regular Verse AI use matter. Growth earns its premium for operators sharing content across locations or needing mobile control, sermon export, and priority support. Pro Multi-Campus targets organizations coordinating multiple campuses; its higher AI allowance and phone support address operational scale, while the forthcoming remote-control feature should not be treated as available now. A 14-day trial gives prospective users a short period to evaluate paid capabilities before committing.

Platforms

MakeChurchEasy supports Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS, with browser presentation links. Windows 10/11 and macOS 13 or later are supported, including Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. Plan around the 4 GB RAM minimum, 500 MB disk requirement, and recommended OBS Studio 30.0 or later.

Who it's for

This is a strong choice for church media teams and volunteers whose services already run through OBS and combine scripture, worship songs, media, and livestream graphics. It is particularly useful when EasyWorship or ProPresenter material must be imported without an extra fee, or when one operator needs presentation and broadcast controls together. Teams that work mostly offline can use downloaded local content, but those relying on cloud sync, account administration, updates, or Verse AI need dependable internet. Churches without an OBS-centered workflow may find the dock's main advantage less relevant.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Scripture, lyrics, media, overlays, timers, and multi-view controls share one OBS workspace.
• Pro: More than 10,000 Bible translations and side-by-side comparison support varied congregations and translation policies.
• Pro: EasyWorship and ProPresenter import is free on every plan.
• Pro: Growth and Pro provide progressively stronger coordination and support for multi-operator or multi-campus teams.
• Con: Free limits teams to 10 songs/media items, five Bible versions, and a 30-minute speech-to-scripture trial.
• Con: Verse AI consumes plan hours or credits and requires internet access.
• Con: Cloud sync and mobile control begin at Growth, while multi-campus sync and phone support cost more at Pro.

Alternatives

For a broad comparison, see Church Presentation Software.

Church Presenter is the better pick for a completely free, open-source option with no subscription or seat limits and support for Linux as well as major desktop and mobile platforms.

Choose Holyrics instead when computer and app-count limits suit your church and a lower-cost freemium structure is preferable, with plans from $5.00 per month.

OpenLP suits teams wanting free, open-source presentation software that can be installed on as many copies as needed, including web and Linux support.

VerseVIEW is an alternative for users seeking free-forever software with no ads.

WorshipTools Presenter fits churches wanting a free tier with 500 MB cloud storage, 10 users, and 15 items per service.

FreeShow is a free presentation option whose maker says it will remain free, with Linux, macOS, web, and Windows support.

Prezans is a no-subscription church product offering all features, subject to desktop-install serial limits.

SongShow Plus is the alternative to consider when a paid product with a free trial and separately priced Bible plug-ins matches your purchasing approach.

Verdict

Choose MakeChurchEasy when your church already produces services in OBS and wants scripture, worship, media, and livestream graphics coordinated in one dock, with a clear path from a capped free plan to cloud and multi-campus tiers. Look elsewhere if you need a fully free, open-source tool, broad Linux deployment, or presentation software that does not depend on an OBS-centered workflow and paid AI or sync allowances.
