Comparisons
WorshipDeck compared with church presentation software
Churches usually pick a booth app (ProPresenter, EasyWorship, MediaShout), a cloud-desktop (Proclaim, WorshipTools), a free installer (OpenLP, FreeWorship, VideoPsalm), or PowerPoint. WorshipDeck is the browser option: one church library, live control from any signed-in device.
