WorshipMetrics

WorshipMetrics is an integrated church AV platform for service planning, presentation, production, streaming, and system monitoring. It suits churches whose technical work spans volunteers, dedicated production staff, or multiple campuses. Its strongest case is replacing several operational tools with one church-specific workspace; teams that only need slides or scheduling may find the broader platform unnecessary.

Overview

WorshipMetrics combines service preparation with control-room operations. Present handles slides, lyrics, scripture, playlists, media, and stage display, and is offered free forever. Tech Manager is a Windows booth application with production dashboards, switcher and camera controls, stream-health views, and booth telemetry.

The platform is designed for church production teams, including volunteer-led crews and multi-site organizations. Its maker describes a team comprising a pastor, an engineer, and a 20-year AV educator, with more than 40 years of combined worship-technology experience. That background is reflected in the emphasis on Sunday execution rather than generic presentation software.

Key features

Presentation and planning

Present brings slide editing, lyrics, scripture, playlists, media, and stage display into the service workflow. The song library records CCLI numbers, keys, arrangements, chord charts, and scheduling history, and can import from Planning Center. That makes it useful for teams that need musical continuity and licensing-related references alongside presentation content.

Production and streaming

Tech Manager provides local control for OBS, vMix, and Blackmagic ATEM, plus NDI and PTZ camera control. Streaming can deliver one feed to YouTube, Facebook, a church website player, and other destinations; the standard capability supports two destinations, while the Stream tier raises this to up to 10 simultaneous destinations. Scheduled broadcasts and website embedding support recurring services without requiring a separate distribution workflow.

Monitoring and access

Pulse watches machines, connected devices, and streams around the clock, sending alerts and reporting AV-system health. Cloud control uses an outbound connection from Tech Manager, access is restricted to invited team members, and remote actions are recorded in support history. Customer data remains exportable after cancellation, an important safeguard for churches changing providers.

Support is available by ticket, chat, and phone at 910-WORSHIP. Journey, an AI phone assistant, can bring in a person when needed.

Pricing

There is no free trial. Paid annual billing gives two months free through 10-month pricing, while the Free plan has no renewal or expiration concern.

Platforms

WorshipMetrics runs on the web and Windows. The Windows requirement is significant for booth operations because Tech Manager is the desktop control application; teams standardizing on other desktop platforms should account for that limitation.

Who it's for

Choose it for a church that wants presentation, production control, streaming, and proactive AV monitoring connected to the same service workflow. Volunteer teams benefit from centralized controls and alerts, while multi-site churches can use shared song and scheduling history. It is less suitable when the need is limited to volunteer coordination, a simple presentation tool, or an individual faith journal.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Presentation, song metadata, production controls, streaming, and monitoring are covered in one church-focused system.
• Pro: Unlimited users on Free make it practical for rotating volunteer crews.
• Pro: Pulse's continuous monitoring and recorded remote actions add operational accountability.
• Pro: Exportable customer data reduces lock-in risk.
• Con: Free storage and clip limits, one signage screen, and streaming activation constrain larger services.
• Con: Stream imposes monthly live-hour, viewer-hour, and archive-retention quotas.
• Con: Booth control depends on Windows through Tech Manager.
• Con: Sunday and managed support add substantial monthly cost.

Alternatives

For focused volunteer coordination, see Church Volunteer Management Software and GraceSquad, whose free Starter plan supports up to 100 members with manual scheduling, volunteer profiles, basic CRM, and email notifications. Church Volunteering is a simpler web option with a free team of up to 10 volunteers and manual reminders.

For dedicated worship planning, Worship Planning Software or Planning Center may fit better; Planning Center offers free Calendar, People, and Services plans with limits such as one room or five team members. For presentation-first work, consider Church Presentation Software or WorshipTools Presenter, whose free plan supports 500 MB, 10 users, and 15 items per service across more platforms.

Church Scheduling Software, AidOrbit, Assemblea, and ChurchCMS are alternatives for scheduling, administration, or church-management needs rather than an integrated AV booth. HolyJot is a free journal and faith-conversation product, not a production platform.

Verdict

WorshipMetrics is a strong choice for churches that need one system to coordinate services, operate AV, stream to multiple destinations, and monitor infrastructure. Choose it for the integrated production workflow and escalation options; look elsewhere if your priority is only volunteer scheduling, presentation, or low-cost administration, or if Windows booth software and streaming quotas do not suit your operation.
