It's getting better over time and works well for our church. Pros Proclaim is multi-platform and has a cloud-based component, such that it's easy to create service presentations at home and then use them at church. All that's required is that the Proclaim software is installed both places and logged into the same group. Overall, it's pretty easy to use and many things are obvious to find and use. It has enough customizability that it should be usable by both small and large churches alike. Service content is editable in a freeform editor, with changes instantly previewed on slides to the right. It's super easy to see how changes affect what will be displayed to the audience. Cons The biggest drawback is the song database and organization. You can't organize songs into different collections, nor can you see all of the songs in your database in one place in order to do organization, cleanup, etc. When you pull in a song to your service order, you are editing that song everywhere it might be used, so you have to be careful about changing verse orders, words, attribution, etc. Additionally, song titles must be globally unique within the church group. In other words, you can't have two songs named identically where one is a congregational version and the other is a choral version. You have to differentiate somehow via the name. Faithlife has indicated they are working on a major upgrade to the song organization features, so I am hoping that this gets much better in the near future. Editing backgrounds, adding images, and editing smartmedia is a little confusing at first, so it really takes some getting used to. This aspect of the product could be made better.

We especially like the ability to edit things from anywhere and then sync them to production machine. Switched from [SongShow Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/140322/SongShow-Plus/) SongShow Plus is getting long in the tooth, has not kept up with modern software engineering practices, and has become generally slow, buggy, non-performant, and is a UX nightmare.

Member Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Proclaim the good news... we have a great software" April 15, 2025 5.0 Great product that is really essential in church presentations. Much more efficient than competitors. Pros Easy to change remotely and make adjustments, the worship computer automatically updates when it is opened. Cons The cloud function is nice if everything is connected to the cloud. If there are any issues you could be entering information on the day of. Switched from [MediaShout](https://www.capterra.com/p/140318/MediaShout/) We ended up making the switch because of the support for media shout. Review Source EW Eric W. Music Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Product is good, account service awful!" January 29, 2026 3.0 Good product. Abysmal account service. DO NOT RECOMMEND on the basis of dealing with this company's inability to use common sense. Pros Relatively flexible and easy to use after you learn the basics. The platform is relatively user friendly. Cons Customer service is a nightmare dealing with account information! I continued to be billed on my personal credit card after I moved from the church where I had been. When I called to correct it, they did take my card off, but would not remove me from the account and put the new person responsible for it in my place because a pastor who had moved on years ago was still listed as administrator on the account. Were they afraid someone was going to hack the account to pay our bill???!!! No common sense prevailed in the call, which is clearly an overseas call center who must stick to script and not actually solve the issue. Review Source JW Jason W. Technology Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Proclaim Native-Cloud Ease" March 30, 2021 5.0 I used Proclaim for several years but switched to another product during the COVID pandemic due to the other product's ability to stream a service easily. I came back to Proclaim for performance reasons, and I had to do some interesting things with OBS to create a stream that included live video and slide data from Proclaim. Since Faithlife has finally created an alternate slide screen where I can modify the slide data with live video in the background, I absolutely love Proclaim. Pros I love the fact that Proclaim is natively cloud-based and any edits I make to a service presentation are instantly replicated to any other device with Proclaim on it. I also love the responsiveness of the slides to slide changes. It doesn't matter if the background is an image or 50mb video loop, the slides change is instant. I have used other product that have a .5 sec - 2 sec delay and you wouldn't think that makes a difference but in song lyric changes or during a pastor's sermon it's an eternity. Cons The feature to stream directly to a RTMP feed from a Mac. This has been available on the Windows platform for a while, and I have been patiently waiting for this for several months now. Alternatives considered [ProPresenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/170172/ProPresenter/) Reason for choosing Proclaim by Logos Presentation performance and native cloud-based replication. Switched from [ProPresenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/170172/ProPresenter/) I used ProPresenter for several years on a Windows platform. Back then ProPresenter was always said to work better with a Mac, so I changed to Proclaim. Then COVID hit and I decided to take the plunge and completely swap back to ProPresenter on a Mac platform. Soon after that ProPresenter went through a major revision and seemed to change directions to be more Windows friendly and I was having performance issues with my Mac, so I changed back to Proclaim.

We've never had any issues using it at all. It is fairly easy to use and get set up as well. Pros We love the ease of use. I can edit and update presentation slide from number of locations and then sync them in the cloud. Additionally, the presentation slides can tie in to an electronic bulletin on a member's phone. Cons They update the software fairly often - that's a GOOD thing. But, the program loads up first and THEN tells you it needs updated instead of just updating it when you open it. Seems fairly benign but it loads slow on initial opening so that takes some extra time. Just minor inconvenience though. Alternatives considered [ProPresenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/170172/ProPresenter/) Reason for choosing Proclaim by Logos We didn't look for others as we had experience with ProPresenter and it was just too much money. We get more bang for the buck with Faithlife Proclaim. Switched from [WorshipTools Presenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/170168/Worship-Extreme/) Faithlife was more cost effective and less buggy Review Source BH Brent H. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "almost "sliced bread"-worthy..." February 25, 2020 4.0 When I migrated from Powerpoint to a display software (EasyWorship), there was a learning curve that was a challenge to overcome for training other people to use and set up components of the service. We ended up only using it for song-words, PW part of the service, and swapping back to PPT for the message. With Proclaim these challenges were alleviated. and even streamlined with little extra training. pre and post loop are created by someone. Our service-presentation templates allow then for the MOM to set up the PW and hymns, and I can do the message work. And all at the same time, if needed. Pros There are many features and functions that I like most. however, if I had to pick one thing, it would be the ability to digitally record the audio with the slides as a "movie/show." Cons over the last couple of years, I have had a bug crop up that comes and goes, and I have not been able to make a root cause analysis, other than to say that nothing else on my system is affected when the symptom happens. The symptom is that a vide slide will not play/launch intermittently. that vide will play in a video app, and nothing else seems to be affected. so that's the thing I like least, is that this intermittent issue causes a lot of frustration. Alternatives considered [ProPresenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/170172/ProPresenter/) Reason for choosing Proclaim by Logos TRAINING availability, support, record audio with the slides. Switched from [EasyWorship](https://www.capterra.com/p/101489/EasyWorship/) I didn't switch until the recording feature was available. So, it was that feature that allowed me to justify making the change from a stand-alone application that we own to a subscription-based system. It was a very difficult hurdle since we almost never needed any support for the product, it was extremely difficult to justify the monthly/annual expense. Review Source KK Kasey K. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Proclaim software is easy to use and produces great programs" February 10, 2022 5.0 We are very happy with proclaim. It is so easy to use, we now use Proclaim for other classes and services during the week, like Children's Church. We would highly recommend this product to anyone, Pros Proclaim Presentation software is great for a church looking for easy to use software that looks great. We have been able to quickly train volunteers to use proclaim. Staff and volunteers are able to work on programs at home and have them ready to go on the church computer on Sunday morning. This is a great resource and keeps volunteers from having to make special trips up to the church building. Cons While we love that proclaim is web based, we had a few Sundays with internet issues. This has affected being able to use proclaim. Switched from [EasyWorship](https://www.capterra.com/p/101489/EasyWorship/) We were look for something that was easier to run and provided more options for our service graphics. Review Source Mark A. Senior Minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Cloud Based Projection Software" December 22, 2020 5.0 Proclaim is a robust solution to our weekly data projection needs. While not cheap to purchase, quality comes at a price and so Proclaim represents good value for money. I have never known Proclaim to crash during a presentation which has always been one of my fears. Pros Proclaim manages the data projection in our church. I love the way the software handles various types of media seamlessly. No third party software required. The ability to edit or insert service items on the fly without disturbing the live presentation in another great strength. We sometimes need a last minute person to run the software. Proclaim is so intuitive to use I can grab someone with basic computer skills and they can manage the service presentation. Cons There is nothing I really dislike about this software. Switched from [OpenLP](https://www.capterra.com/p/170167/OpenLP/) At the time of comparison, OpenLP simply did not have the feature set, struggled to handle some media types, and lacked stability.

Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Faithlife Equip" December 30, 2020 4.0 The platform ID easy to use and makes putting together a service order a breeze. The slides are impressive and the announcements are easy to make and use. Pros The range of helpful tools and services is impressive. The different programs work together well Cons Needs more introductory videos that sell the benefits to members.

Onboarding Partner Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Struggled with Media" June 17, 2022 4.0 Pros This is easy to use and great for collaboration, as multiple people can work on the same presentation. Cons This software just wasn't reliable with different media sources, and was just slower than the main competitor out there, so we ended up switching. Alternatives considered [ProPresenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/170172/ProPresenter/) Reason for choosing Proclaim by Logos Originally chose this option because it was available to us at a great price, but ended up switching from it as soon as we financially could. Review Source RK Rebecca K. Office Adminsitrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love the integration with our Website" December 24, 2020 5.0 Our church chose to purchase the bundle subscription with Faithlife, including media (Proclaim), website, online giving, interactive communication with members. Instead of paying for separate licenses, we pay one annual fee. Overall we are saving a lot of money. The new features of integration is the biggest plus. Pros Faithlife Proclaim makes putting together a Worship Service a breeze. First, it integrates with CCLI, so all songs are automatically imported. I then format the songs to my liking with a plethora of background options. It also automatically records the portions of the service with a simple prompt in the outline, for example - the sermon. Once the sermon is recorded, I can edit it, title it, and automatically publish it on the church's website, recorded with the sermon slides. The announcement slides are automatically published on the website as "Bulletin." Proclaim is very easy to use, and there are so many tutorials to answer almost any question. Cons I have no criticism. I am still learning, but the available tutorials make it a breeze. Switched from [MediaShout](https://www.capterra.com/p/140318/MediaShout/) The integration of all products is what sold us. Review Source JR John R. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "First time user in Church" December 22, 2020 5.0 Overall experience was great and simple to use from a preaching perspective. Pros The pros of this software was that it housed all items needed to launch overhead media and quick access to Bible. The ability to prepare songs with Song Select, and control sermon content and images was easy especially if one has access to the remote app, you could control your sermon slides from the pulpit using any device Cons If using one device, say laptop, in the control room, we could never "see" what was coming next once we were "on air". We tried multiple ways but could not get a preview image on a single laptop.

Worship Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software for Any Church" December 22, 2020 5.0 Pros I love the ease of use. Our Church got up and running with the software almost immediately. Our church was using Powerpoint as our lyric slides. This has been such a huge help. The graphics, backgrounds, videos are all amazing. Cons I cannot really find a con for this product as it has been nothing but good for our Church. Alternatives considered [ProPresenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/170172/ProPresenter/) Reason for choosing Proclaim by Logos Love how anyone can work on the slides from there own homes and work as a team while communicating in the software.

Pastor of Outreach and Discipleship Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Takes Your Worship Service to a New Level" October 10, 2020 5.0 The worship service should be done with excellence so that everything works together to support the central message, not to detract from it. Faithlife Proclaim provides the tools to do just that. It has allowed us to take our entire worship service to the next level. It's not a magic pill. It takes effort, but it makes it much easier and automates a good portion of the process which otherwise would be multiple steps. Pros Faithlife Proclaim centralizes everything you need for church presentation software into a single package. Not only does it gracefully provide features for the songs, announcements and preaching but also includes pre and post-service loops. So here are my favorite features... Presentation is saved to the cloud. Work on it from anywhere (work on it at home and retrieve it at the church). Multiple people can work on the same presentation (the song leader can work remotely on the songs while the pastor works on the sermon slides). Provides a large media library of both static images and motion graphics. This includes sets that you can pull in all at once which can help get you going quickly. There is also a powerful search and filter option to find what you need. In addition your information about your church (website, social media, etc...) is added to the slide dynamically where needed. There are several ways to automatically pull in scripture and it looks amazing. The slides can automatically sync up with an app so the congregation can follow along, view scripture in their favorite Bible version, and interact. Ability to record the slides and audio and easily publish at the end of the service. They recently added live streaming capabilities as well. Powerful integration with Logos Bible Software, Faithlife groups and your Website. It can work with Faithlife digital signage which can provide feeds in other places throughout the church and beyond. Cons I have been in Information Technology most of my life so it was fairly easy to setup. However, for the non-technical person they will most likely need to get some assistance when it comes to hooking up audio recording and setting up some of the other integration. This is probably true with most church presentation software packages with similar features. Review Source Response from Faithlife October 16, 2020 Thank you for the review, Buck! We're so glad Proclaim has helped you in your worship services. I'll be passing on your feedback regarding the integrations back to the team. - KK FM Fidelis M.

October 22, 2023 5.0 Proclaim by Logos is what we need.It helps us in getting news songs which makes the congregants enjoy the sermon.It has been a nice experience with this incredible software. Pros Proclaim by Logos is an excellent software which supports and connects people through presentations.It is a cost effective software and very easy to use.It is very flexible and gives it's users control and sovereignty.It helps us alot to publish sermons automatically.

The accessibility from the cloud makes it easy for us to collaborate and get the service in order before we get there on Sunday morning. Pros I really like how much the software team is updating the product every release. The software itself is much better than many alternatives in this space. I really like how it saves the edits you've made to certain song lyrics and allows you to reuse old slides just with a quick search. Cons It would be great to have a master template for the look / feel / design of the slides and then build off from it. For now we just named one of the days "Master..." and if you need to pull a song or a sermon slide you just search for that and reuse it. The sermon slides are cumbersome but when you get to know how it works it's not too bad. They finally allowed for lists of words to appear like PowerPoint presentations show them (one line at a time) and that was my biggest beef before. There's still a learning curve. Review Source Justin H. Pastor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very simple and useful" January 19, 2018 5.0 Simple and elegant media presentations for church services that multiple contributors could work on from various places throughout the week instead of coming to the church to create them. Pros The ability to collaborate with other contributors throughout the week from different places (cloud based) is probably my favorite feature. Cons Being cloud-based means items added to the presentation have to sync and need a good internet connection. Occasionally, we've had trouble with syncing because of server problems on their end or because of internet connectivity on our end. We've always been able to work out what we needed before presenting, but sometimes it's been close or we've had to re-do our work because it didn't sync. They usually work out those kinks quickly (they've never been repeated two consecutive days). Review Source MH Myke H.

" December 22, 2020 5.0 Been using this product since it came out, and I can honestly say I couldnt imagine being a church leader without it! Pros Very professional looking graphics. Easy to operate and build a presentation. Works great for preaching and teachings - you can build your slides for your message in 15 minutes or less. You can also record your messages. Faithlife offers unlimited storage, so no worries. there. Cons I wish the graphics had more editable layers. Some elements of the graphics can't be edited, which can be a disappointment at times.

December 10, 2019 5.0 Overall, having edited each slide to verify font and size consistency, it has worked really well for our church. Pros having multiple people on the visual team at church, it is nice that this software is online. I can access it from any computer and make adjustments when needed. Adding photos/videos for sermon illustrations is easy. Having the ability to import songs directly from CCLI is wonderful! Cons In order to keep the same font and sizes in a whole presentation, I need to edit every slide. I have not found a way to make a standard font/size for the different sections. It would be helpful to be able to edit a "Title 1" to be a specific font and size for the entire presentation. Review Source Josh S. Media and Communications Minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great way to keep a professional look when it comes to presenting your Church Service" February 1, 2019 4.0 I have had really good luck with Proclaim when it comes to projecting our services. It is fast, works well on both a pc and a mac, and someone can be trained quickly on the basics if needed. Pros Proclaim stands tall among a market flooded with different options when it comes to running your services screen presentation. Proclaim is one of the better ones I have used. Pros: -No limit to how many computers it is installed on -Cloud Syncing -Integration with many other popular church software staples (Planning Center, SongSelect, Graceway Media, Etc) -Many templates pre-built for you Cons This software is not the most intuitive I have used out of all the options available. If you really want to get the full use of out of this software you will need to put in the time to understand how to use it all. They do however make that easy with training and tutorials.

Being cloud-based, it allows our team to work from wherever they are. The sermon recording feature makes our podcast unbelievably simple, and the smart media helps us to create diverse, professional slides with ease. Cons The features for live streaming, like only showing the foreground of a screen, are not quite ready for prime time. There is also no way to pick channels coming off of a device like a digital sound board for sermon recording. Review Source Response from Faithlife January 6, 2021 Pastor Justin, thank you for the feedback. Glad you've enjoyed the Proclaim's cloud-based ability and smart media. We're continuing to make rapid updates to our features for live streaming, keep your eye out for some new product updates coming soon. JC Josh C. Operations Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helping Church Share the Gospel" December 22, 2020 5.0 The integration with CCLI has been a huge help in song lyric look up and licensing needs. Pros This software is easy to use and maintain. Once you have a template in place, we simply replicate the template and tweak each week swapping out songs and sermons. The ability for multiple team members to edit is a big plus as we use a team to contribute weekly. Cons Only thing I can think of is the timing of upgrades...there have been times it decides it needs to update on Sunday morning. Which for a church is the worst time possible. So if they could enable some way to prevent updates on Sunday that would be great!
