One-time purchase, no subscription. Built for church volunteers. > > Verdict: Rated **4.3/5** by 314 users. Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of MediaShout MediaShout 7 is church presentation software built from the ground up for worship services — not repurposed from business tools. Since pioneering the category in 2000 as the first-ever church presentation software, MediaShout has been trusted by thousands of small and mid-size churches to run their services every Sunday. Built for volunteers, not tech experts Most church presentation software assumes you have a dedicated tech team. MediaShout assumes you have a volunteer who shows up 30 minutes before service. The interface is designed so that anyone — regardless of technical background — can learn to build and run a full worship service with confidence. The Presenter View gives volunteers a simplified Sunday morning interface with only what they need, reducing errors and stress on the most important day of the week. Everything your service needs, built in MediaShout 7 includes 70+ Bible translations so you can insert any scripture passage automatically — no typing, no searching. CCLI SongSelect integration lets you import worship song lyrics directly into your service with a few clicks. Videos, images, audio files, and PowerPoint files all work natively, so your team isn't juggling multiple programs on Sunday morning. Multiple screens, one interface Control your congregation display, stage display (confidence monitor), and live stream output — all from a single control screen. Your operator sees everything; your audience sees only what you choose. Whether you're running one projector in a small sanctuary or multiple screens across a multi-campus ministry, MediaShout handles it from one place. One-time purchase. No subscription. Unlike EasyWorship, Proclaim, and other competitors that charge monthly or annual subscription fees, MediaShout 7 is a one-time purchase. You own it. There are no recurring fees, no annual renewals required to keep running your services, and no per-seat restrictions. For budget-conscious churches, this is often the deciding factor. Designed specifically for churches MediaShout is not general-purpose presentation software adapted for church use. Every feature — from the way scripts are structured, to the dual Bible display, to the announcement loop functionality — was built with worship services in mind. It integrates directly with Planning Center Online and Shift Worship, connecting your service planning and your media library without leaving the software. Trusted since 2000 MediaShout has been serving churches for over two decades. The company is family-owned, U.S.-based, and deeply connected to the churches it serves — offering personal support, training resources, and a community of users who help each other every week. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.3/5** | 314 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 80% | (8/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Wordsmith - **Founded**: 1999 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: USD 599.00 - **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: MediaShout 7 for Windows is a one-time purchase starting at $599 — no subscription required.

No multiple machines or feeds required. This is very useful for a mobile church setup. It also comes with multiple features that you often have to pay extra for with other products such as loads of Bible versions, Songs and Hymnals. MediaShout also has first grade tech support that quickly respond to issues encountered. MediaShout has been faithfully serving our church and multiple ministries for over 15 years. Our church was one of the first users of this product in Australia. > > **Cons**: Text editing is probably the weakest point, which we sometimes have to rely on PPT instead for better formatting, but MediaShout is overall a very strong and all rounded product. > > Stability and mobility. I'm a life customer with MediaShout and would not hesitate to recommend it to other people. ----- ### "BUYER BEWARE. LICENSE VANISHES." — 4.0/5 > **Julia** | *12 December 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been customers for upwards of 10 years. The program worked with dual monitors. > > **Cons**: We have purchased several upgrades - one because they forced us to. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. A few months ago we showed up for service as usual and our program said we were using a trial version. It started the 30 day countdown. Eventually we dig out the registration codes for the product we had purchased and it would not accept the code. We tried multiple times but it would never go through. We contacted tech support and eventually they just told us the company that managed the licenses for them no longer was. We asked what we could do to fix the problem. The answer? Pay $400 to get a new version. WHAT?\!? We purchase a product with the express understanding they are going to deliver on that product. Instead, because they made an unfortunate decision to do business with the wrong company, it was going to cost US -the customer- $400. No product discount, no alternate license or work around. Just a response that would mean they succeeded at doing this to us TWICE. I’m not happy nor would I recommend this product. It does the job. There were things we liked and didn’t like but because of the investment we had, we stayed. No longer. We still haven’t replaced our program. We will be very diligent in reading reviews so we can get a company that is: 1) available with tech support without charging an additional fee and 2) stands behind the service they offer > > Overall, in 10 years, we were left fixing and resetting codec issues multiple times a year. It worked 85% of the time and most recently not at all. ----- ### "MS7 needs lots of work\!" — 3.0/5 > **Robert** | *5 September 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: So far, I can't really say that there are a lot of pros to this release. > > **Cons**: MediaShout has always had lots of potential, but issues are many. MS7 was rebuilt from the ground up and is marketed as being more stable than other versions. This is simply not true. I upgraded over a month ago and it crashes or locks up weekly. It is also marketed as "powerful presentations made easy." There is nothing easy about this program. It is powerful, if you are willing to go through multiple steps to get your presentations the way you want them. MS7 is missing many of the features that were found in previous releases. In reworking the software, they have made many changes that practical usage very difficult and time consuming. > > I have been a loyal MediaShout user since they began. However, Versions 5, 6, and now 7 are so riddled with problems that I have decided I will not invest any more money in this software. Tired of them repackaging the same program with the same problems. ----- ### "MediaShout. It Works" — 4.0/5 > **Keith** | *30 December 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that those of us that are tech savvy can dig into the options and have some fun with our creativity, and yet simplify the screen with volunteer mode, so that our week-end volunteers don't feel intimidated........Oh and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the updates have finally included compatibility with standard remotes. > > **Cons**: The system sometimes freezes during service. My computer is more than capable of handling the software, so I have been trying to isolate why we get occasional glitches. At this point I am blaming it on older video background loops that are not mP4. I don't know why wmv files would cause an issue, but when I don't use them, I don't have issues. > > I have been with mediashout since version 4 was in service. I feel like there have been a number of growing pains getting to the current system, but it has been worth it. ----- ### "Great Tool for Service Media" — 4.0/5 > **Lisa** | *6 January 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the built in libraries and the ease of creating and updating the libraries to fit our needs for our church\! And if I ever a problem, the support team is quick to respond and help me out\! > > **Cons**: There are a few features, like announcements, I have yet to use as I haven't found the right info to help me figure out how to fire these off and play appropriately. There also is a delay in transitioning between cues within the software that does not happen on our display screens, takes a bit to refresh. > > I've been using MediaShout for our church services for 5 years\! Each upgrade throws a bit of a learning curve initially but once you work through those and uncover the new features - it has been fantastic\! There are a few glitches here and there that you'll find as you work within the software regularly, but overall a great product for what we need\! ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/125255/mediashout?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/125255/mediashout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
