Proclaim alternative
A Proclaim alternative with nothing to install
Proclaim presents from an app installed on the booth computer. LlamaPresenter runs the whole service in the browser, and it starts free.
Looking for a Proclaim alternative?
Proclaim is Logos's presenter, with an online service plan the whole team shares. What differs:

What both do
Proclaim 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 and a song library
- 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
- A service plan the team can build during the week
Proclaim prices are what Logos published when this was written. Check theirs before you decide.

When Proclaim may be the better choice
Proclaim is the better fit if your church:
- Already studies in Logos and wants the same library
- Wants thousands of ready-made motions included
- Wants plan, signage, and podcast in one product
On unreliable internet, use an installed app: theirs, or the LlamaPresenter desktop app on Pro.
Weighing up others too? The ProPresenter, EasyWorship and FreeShow pages cover the others; the StageTimer alternative page covers stage timers.
