Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The service was adequate when it was worked. We didn't experience buffering or sound issues on the weeks where it worked.
  • It works with Wirecast that we use in-house. Not much better than other streaming services that are available.
  • Annual premiums will not be prorated should you cancel 1-2 months into the renewed term. Annual means annual. No refunds.

Cons

  • Signed up for a free trial, was charged instantly. Even though we did the same process each week, it only worked 7 of the 10 weeks we used the service. When we cancelled (because of merging with another church), they billed me for an invoice that for the month which started 4 days after our cancellation. Acknowledged that it was for the month after cancellation, but would not refund the month.
  • ChurchStreaming.tv support is horrible. Time of response is horrible. Definitely not helpful when stuck during your Sunday service that gives you problems. It appears to be a one man team support. Not sure what is going on but not a streaming service I want to keep paying for.
  • Annual termed contract.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Customizable templates, song layouts, themes, overlays and so much more makes it one of the Best Presentation Software. The technical support from the creator also helps out very much.
  • It's probably the only FOSS option in its category that actually has a modern aesthetic to it. And the theme is totally configurable, including the font! It seems like such a small thing, but it's surprisingly rare to see. Most of the default settings are great, and adjusting things is easy. The structure and organization of the projects, presentations, templates, etc., is fairly easy to find, and simple to work with. The out-of-the-box stage and remote tools are fantastic! Oh, and it's *fast*. Running a FreeShow configuration similar to our current setup (on ProPresenter), I can go from launching the program to presenting in seconds, and it's barely putting a strain on the machine. I can actually do *more* in FreeShow with multiple outputs, where in ProPresenter we'd practically be cooking the CPU trying to do the same thing.

Cons

  • As the software is in its early stages, you'll find some bugs but that even isn't a issue because the bugs are being removed on a regular basis by the creator.
  • It's still early enough in development that you run into situations where the program gets stuck on a setting or screen, and needs to be restarted. These feel pretty random. It's not quite to the point that we can swap this in for our main presentation software, but it's really close.
