FreeWorship is a free Windows installer with an optional Pro unlock. WorshipDeck is a multi-device web workspace — an alternative to FreeWorship when Sunday should not depend on one Windows booth and a Dropbox copy of the song database.
Who FreeWorship is for
FreeWorship is a Windows desktop worship presenter. The core app is free. Pro adds SongSelect, CCLI reporting, Google Slides items, and extras, sold as a per-PC subscription or a one-time site licence. Official pages describe a file-based database, dual-screen and stage display, and imports from other lyric apps (OpenLP, EasyWorship, and SongSelect in Pro). Churches often sync that file with Dropbox. Confirm current Pro pricing on their site.
That is the right tool when the booth is Windows-only, the budget is zero, or the church already keeps a FreeWorship song database.
Choose WorshipDeck if
- Prep happens on a Mac, Chromebook, tablet, or phone, not only a Windows PC
- You want a hosted church library instead of Dropbox-as-database
- Ezra, sermon notes, and live service edits should be in the browser
- Outputs include Android TV or a Windows display host
- Sunday should not fail because the only Windows laptop stayed at home
Choose FreeWorship if
- The booth is Windows only and that is not changing
- You want a free installer and already have a FreeWorship song database
- Dropbox-style file sync is a ritual the team already trusts
- Optional Pro (SongSelect, CCLI reporting) is enough, without a web workspace
Switching notes
There is no FreeWorship importer in WorshipDeck. Rebuild songs in My songs and decks in the presentation editor. WorshipDeck does not connect to SongSelect.
See pricing for plan capacity. Starter and Church include the same features; do not assume a dollar amount from this page.
