PastorsLine is designed with churches and ministries in mind, giving them the tools to connect with their flock in the right way.
ProPresenter is designed for productions of all sizes which enables users to show videos, lyrics, and graphics making it easy to create high-quality live events.
The App is awesome, easy to use, and many on our staff are utilizing the app to communicate with groups of people from wherever they are. Amazing price and overall value.
The user interface is cluttered and confusing.
It's fast, reliable, and provides the ability to text from our churches landline. Our congregation has been very responsive and enjoy getting weekly texts from the pastor & staff.
We had to put our deployment on hold until PCO exited beta. The mobile app is hard to use and very limited in functionality.
I love the low-risk price and I love all of the features. The customer support is responsive and friendly.
Carrier regulations are changing so quickly that lots of messages are flagged & fail to send.
I love that I can connect all of this software with Planning Center and use the two seamlessly. It makes automated follow up manageable and effective.
User interface updates are sometimes confusing.
What I like best about pro presenter is that the company is constantly improving and updating their product.
We have implemented this software with a team primarily made up of volunteers, and it is a struggle at times for them to troubleshoot issues that arise beyond basic problems.
The live steaming of the app is so good that i will count it at the top in the things that i liked the most. The church management is very easy with propresentor.
If I had to pick anything to dislike about this software, it would have to be license restrictions.
I like the ease of use and visual cues. I also like how you can set up how you like and it customized for your needs.
I'm disappointed, and am testing other software to potentially replace ProPresenter at our Church.
I love how easy it is to set up and hand off to a volunteer to operate. The best part about propresenter is how easy it is to use, but how flexible the software is.
If your graphic is too large, it doesn't always display as a thumbnail and takes an extra second or two to fire.
Jon K.: Hi, my name is Jon. I am an assistant pastor at a local church, and I'd give PastorsLine a 3 out of 5 stars. And if you're interested in some more reviews, just click down below. We were using PastorsLine as a way to try and connect with new guests coming to our services on Sunday morning. I think the thing we like the most about PastorsLine is simply that it was an easy way to text and have an immediate response when guests connected with us. Some of the things about PastorLine that we found difficult were some of the texting options and sometimes different carriers had struggled to work around PastorsLine, sending links and things like that, making it difficult to use for all of the things that we needed.
Daniel J.: Hi, my name's Daniel. I'm at South County Bible Church. I'm the Associate Pastor here. We've been using ProPresenter for about 10 years, and I'll give it four out of five stars. We use ProPresenter every week, although not on a day-to-day basis. We use it for projecting lyrics and video content in our sanctuary on Sunday mornings. We also use it for rehearsals, but that's just for preparing for that Sunday service. What we like most about ProPresenter is that it just works for the most part. You can import all kinds of different content. It connects to a lot of the different services like SongSelect and other places that you can subscribe to that'll help you create your slides easier. It seems like no matter what kind of file I throw at it, ProPresenter can read it. In the last couple of years as the new versions of ProPresenter have come out, they've switched to a subscription base. The good thing about that is that they do seem to have a lot of new content and a lot of new features as time has gone on, and it works for the most part. They do seem to release updates so quickly that sometimes I feel like they aren't completely bug tested because we've had to, probably three times in the last year, we've had to roll back to a previous version because the new stuff they've added doesn't work right away. We've had to implement a test and see rather than just update. To be honest, the cost every year to subscribe is pretty prohibitive. Thankfully, our church is financially able to do that, but it used to be you'd buy it and it would just work for three or four years and then you'd buy the new version, so paying every year is a little bit of a burden.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
