EasyWorship alternative

An EasyWorship alternative that runs in your browser

EasyWorship is well-established church presentation software you install and subscribe to. LlamaPresenter takes a different approach. It runs in your browser, starts free, and brings Bible verses, song lyrics, multiple languages, projector, stage, livestream, templates, and remote control into one workflow.

The LlamaPresenter console open in a browser on one laptop, with the EasyWorship desktop app running on a second laptop beside it

Looking for an EasyWorship alternative?

EasyWorship has been running church services for a long time. It covers lyrics, scripture, media, themes, and a livestream feed, and a church running it well is not missing anything on a Sunday.

LlamaPresenter is built on a different idea: keep the service in the browser and keep the setup small. There is nothing to install, the projector, stage, livestream, and remote all open from the same session, and the plan you start on is free rather than a countdown to a subscription.

If you like what EasyWorship does but would rather not install and license presentation software, this page is the honest version of the difference — including where installed software still wins.

Installed software or the browser?

The biggest difference is where the software lives. Everything else on this page follows from it.

EasyWorship

Church presentation software you install on the booth computer. Version 8 runs natively on Windows and Mac, and your schedules, songs, and media move between the two.

LlamaPresenter

Browser-based church presentation software. Open it in your browser and connect your projector, stage display, livestream, and remote devices.

LlamaPresenter vs EasyWorship

Only the rows where the two part company. Both run a Sunday, and the list under the table says so — but these are the lines a church is actually choosing between.

What both do

EasyWorship covers all of this, and so do we. It is listed here rather than in the table because a row that is a yes on both sides is not a reason to choose either one.

  • Bible search and verse slides
  • Song lyrics, with CCLI SongSelect on their side
  • Projector output
  • A stage or confidence display
  • Livestream graphics
  • Custom templates and slide design
  • A countdown timer
  • Remote control from a phone
  • Your own backgrounds and music
  • PowerPoint and media playback

Prices and plans on the EasyWorship side are what their site said when this page was written, and they are the sort of thing that moves. Check theirs before you decide on ours.

What you get here that EasyWorship does not

EasyWorship gives a church a deep, mature desktop application. These six are the things it cannot do from where it runs, and they are the reason this exists.

Nothing to install, anywhere

Not on the booth computer, not on the screen at the front, not on the phone in your hand. If it has a browser, it can run its part of the service.

Every screen is a link

The projector, the stage, the stream and the lower third each open on the device that needs them. No cable across the building, and no second computer to license.

Languages are armed, not pasted

Two or more translations on the same slide, from one passage read once — not two scripture boxes you fill in yourself. Songs carry their languages the same way, out of the box.

Each screen picks its own languages

The congregation can read two while the stage carries one and the stream carries the other — from the same verse, or the same song, you just sent.

A Bible you brought yourself

Over a thousand translations from public archives, fetched inside the console, plus any file of your own. Your language does not have to be one somebody sells.

A free plan that is not a countdown

The Bible, both outputs and the stage display are never gated. Pro raises the ceilings; it does not unlock the Sunday.

Multiple Bible languages, side by side

A large translation library answers a different question from a bilingual service. EasyWorship has many translations to choose between; LlamaPresenter draws two or more of them on the same slide and lets the projector, the stage, and the stream each show the ones they need.

It is the same passage read once, so turning a language on or off mid-service is one click rather than a second set of slides. Your own translation can join them: pick one from a public Bible archive inside the console, or bring a file of your own.

Songs work the same way. A song holds the languages it is sung in, they stack on the big screen one under the other, and the stage and the lower third each carry one of them — so the words on the platform can be in one language while the congregation reads two.

Projector, stage, and livestream in one workflow

LlamaPresenter is designed around three outputs. Each one is a link you open on the screen that needs it, and each can show something different while the whole service stays connected.

Projector
Show Bible verses, lyrics, announcements, and media to the congregation.
Stage
Give your team the current slide, next slide, agenda, clock, and timer.
Livestream
Send verses, lyrics, and other graphics to your stream.
One session feeding a stage display, a projector slide and a transparent stream overlay, each at its own link

A free plan, not a countdown

EasyWorship is sold as a subscription with a 30-day trial. When the trial ends, the software stops being yours to use.

The free plan here is not a trial. The Bible, both outputs, and the stage display are never gated. What Pro buys is volume — more songs, more languages, more of your own templates — and the pricing page has the current numbers. A church that never crosses those ceilings never pays.

One thing a subscription does buy on their side: the Premium plan comes with a large stock media library. LlamaPresenter does not sell you backgrounds. You bring your own, and they stay on the computer that added them rather than being uploaded anywhere.

When EasyWorship may be the better choice

If the internet in the building is unreliable, installed software is the safer answer today, andEasyWorship is a good one — though native Mac and Windows apps are on the way here for exactly that building. The same goes for a team that leans on CCLI SongSelect inside the application, wants a stock media library included, or sends NDI around the building to a video switcher.

If you would rather open a browser, start free, and run a multilingual service across projector, stage, and stream from one session, LlamaPresenter is designed for that.

Weighing up other options too? The ProPresenter alternative page covers the other large desktop presenter, the FreeShow alternative page covers the free and open-source one, and the StageTimer alternative page covers the church stage timer on its own. The Proclaim alternative page covers the cloud-connected one.

Who should use LlamaPresenter?

Churches that want browser-based church presentation software with their screens, languages, and timing in one place.

Churches using multiple languages

Churches watching the budget

Run a full service on the free plan, and pay only when you want the higher limits.

Churches with volunteers on rotation

Whoever is in the booth signs in on the computer that is there rather than installing anything.

Churches that prefer browser-based tools

Open the service in a browser instead of maintaining desktop presentation software.

EasyWorship alternative FAQ

Is LlamaPresenter an EasyWorship alternative?

Yes. LlamaPresenter is an alternative for churches looking for presentation software with Bible verses, song lyrics, multiple languages, projector output, stage display, livestream graphics, templates, and remote control. The biggest difference is that LlamaPresenter is browser-based.

Is LlamaPresenter cheaper than EasyWorship?

EasyWorship is sold as a subscription, from $17.50 per month billed yearly at the time of writing, with a 30-day trial. LlamaPresenter has a free plan with no time limit, and Pro raises the limits for churches that need more room.

Does LlamaPresenter work on Mac and Windows?

Yes. LlamaPresenter runs in a modern web browser, so it works on Mac, Windows, and anything else with a modern browser. EasyWorship 8 also runs on both, as an application you install.

Can I show multiple Bible translations at the same time?

Yes. LlamaPresenter draws two or more languages on the same slide and lets each output choose which of them it shows, so turning a language on in the middle of a service is one click.

Can I use my own Bible translation?

Yes. Pick one from a public Bible archive inside the console, or upload a file of your own. It stays in your church account.

Can I import my ProPresenter songs?

Yes. LlamaPresenter reads song lyrics from a ProPresenter export, so you can bring an existing library across.

Can I use LlamaPresenter with OBS?

Yes. LlamaPresenter provides a browser-based livestream output that you add to OBS as a browser source. EasyWorship takes the other route and sends NDI or an alpha channel out of the application.

Does it need an internet connection?

Yes, for now. LlamaPresenter is browser-based, so changing what is on the screens needs a working connection. The screens keep showing the slide they are on if it drops. Native Mac and Windows apps are on the way for buildings where the internet cannot be trusted, and they will run a service with no connection at all.
