What to weigh

  • Where Church Motion Graphics is stronger

    It publishes a far larger catalog, plus countdown timers, mini movies, slide templates and social graphics, and its Standard plan's published annual price is lower than twelve months of our monthly plan. If you need those, Backgrounds is not a substitute.

  • Church Motion Graphics free

    It offers 99 free JPEG stills on a separate page. Backgrounds' Free Sample is about 45 designs as 1080p stills, and loops where available, by email with no account.

  • Where Backgrounds fits

    A smaller, calm-middle catalog built for lyrics, on a monthly plan that also includes the other Church Media Kit apps. Church Motion Graphics lists annual plans.
