The presentation staple vs the whole production, one app.
EasyWorship does the projection half of a service — songs, scripture, slides — affordably and familiarly, and for projection-only churches it is a fine tool. The moment you add a live stream, EasyWorship needs a second stack: encoder, switcher, cameras, and someone to run them. Broadcasteer starts where EasyWorship stops: the lyrics job is built in, and so is everything the stream needs. If you project only, either works; if you broadcast, one app beats two stacks.

Song lyrics migrate as text into the Broadcasteer song library — most teams move their active rotation in an afternoon and clean up the archive over time.
Churches often run both during transition: EasyWorship keeps the projector, Broadcasteer takes the stream, then the projector follows once the team is comfortable.
For churches that stream, yes: lyrics and slides are built in, alongside the switcher, phone cameras, recording, and YouTube streaming that EasyWorship was never designed to provide. For projection-only churches, EasyWorship remains a reasonable single-purpose choice.
To start, yes — the free tier includes lyrics, one camera, recording, and 720p streaming. Even MAX at $39.99/mo is typically less than a presentation license plus the streaming stack EasyWorship requires beside it.
Lyrics move as text: rebuild verse blocks in the song library once and reuse them every week. There is no automated importer today, so most teams migrate their active song rotation first.
