What to weigh
Where Igniter Media is stronger
It cites 16,000+ loops and stills, and its memberships cover more than backgrounds, including categories such as mini movies, countdowns and sermon bumpers. Backgrounds covers worship backgrounds only.
Igniter Media free
The free bundle is 10 motion backgrounds in 1080p for a name and email address. Backgrounds' Free Sample is about 45 designs as 1080p stills, and loops where available, by email with no account.
Where Backgrounds fits
Both Igniter's plans and ours are subscriptions. Igniter states an annual commitment on every plan; ours is monthly. Church Media Kit also publishes its plan prices.
