Product evaluation and buying decisions
Church Media Kit pricing: what the monthly plan currently includes
A current buyer guide to monthly plans, included Seats and generations, the free uses, video-upload allowances disclosed on the pricing page, and fit questions.

As of October 12, 2026, the live pricing page lists three monthly plans:
- Starter, US$29.95 per month: five Sermon Kits and five Seats.
- Growth, US$59 per month: eleven Sermon Kits and ten Seats.
- Volume, US$119 per month: twenty-five Sermon Kits and twenty Seats.
A Sermon Kit is one saved set of editable social designs, captions, and posting guidance made from one YouTube sermon. Each Sermon Kit you generate counts as one generation. A Seat is one person's login on your church's account; the Owner, active Team Members, and pending invitations all count toward the plan's Seats. Every plan also includes Sermon Slides, with ten AI-made slide decks per paid period, and add-on Seats are not offered.
Three limits matter before the price does. A person at your church reviews every draft; the software does not write or replace the sermon. The YouTube intake needs English captions (YouTube's automatic captions count) or pasted text, and it does not transcribe audio. External publishing is excluded, so your team posts to each channel itself. The terms cover cancellation, refunds, and taxes. Check them and the Checkout total before you pay.
A free account needs no card, and Sermon to Social, Sermon Clips and Sermon Slides each give one free use (one sermon, one upload up to two hours, one AI deck). A Church Page is live free for 14 days from first publish, and Design and Verse of the Day are free with any account. The paid plans are monthly.
Which plan fits one sermon a week
A paid period starts on your renewal date, not on the first of the calendar month. The allowance resets on the renewal date shown in your account. If a subscription begins on September 12, its next period starts October 12.
A church that preaches weekly has four or five Sundays in a period. Starter's five Sermon Kits covers a five-Sunday period with nothing left for a special service, a conference, or a guest speaker, so it is tight for weekly use. Growth's eleven covers a five-Sunday period and leaves six for extra services or a series that needs a second pass. Volume's twenty-five suits a church preparing several sermons or services a week.

Monthly price times twelve gives about US$359 a year for Starter, US$708 for Growth, and US$1,428 for Volume. These are totals of monthly charges, since no annual plan exists. Your Checkout total and tax line are what you pay.
You can skip a kit when the source or your review time is not ready. Review time per kit is not a published figure. To measure it, use your free account: run one sermon through, time how long your reviewer takes, and count the drafts your church would actually use.
What to bring to your pastor or board
- Cost: US$29.95, US$59, or US$119 per month, charged on the renewal date, plus any tax shown in Checkout.
- Who reviews: the people in the plan's Seats, since every draft needs a human check of wording, theology, facts, and design.
- Slow weeks: each paid period starts a fresh allowance, and unused kits do not carry over.
- What is excluded: external publishing, audio transcription, and guaranteed results.
- Your exit: the Owner cancels in Settings, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.

The right-hand column flags details that can change the practical cost or make the plan unsuitable even when the headline amount fits the budget. Churches on an older subscription have five Seats.
What one Sermon Kit involves
The allowance counts Sermon Kit generations, not social posts, design pages, image downloads, caption edits, or platform destinations.
The workflow starts with a public YouTube sermon link that your church has the authority to use. Usable captions are the standard input. When they are missing, the intake also accepts a transcript, manuscript, or notes you paste in, with at least 40 words. The public-YouTube intake does not transcribe audio.
From that sermon the workflow prepares editable static drafts: designs, captions, and posting guidance. A person at the church reviews the source, wording, theology, facts, design, accessibility, and the decision to publish.
One sermon may support several useful drafts. Another may support fewer. Your team may reject pages, combine ideas, or decide that a sensitive part of the sermon should not become social content at all.
The pricing page separately discloses video-upload allowances for Sermon Clips: Starter allows four uploads up to two hours each, Growth eight up to three hours each, and Volume twenty up to four hours each per paid period. See pricing for the full rules; this guide does not extend those allowances into claims about video outputs or editing.
What counts against the allowance
A generation that is queued, running, waiting for your attention, finished, or of uncertain outcome holds its place in the allowance. A generation that fails terminally releases its place, so a failed attempt does not use up a Sermon Kit. The terms and your account's usage display govern in any dispute.
Plan changes follow the same renewal date. If you need more generations mid-period, the Owner can upgrade in Settings. Review the effective date and any prorated charge before confirming. Volume is the highest listed allowance.
What the allowance does not guarantee
The listed allowance is not a promise of a set number of usable posts, hours saved, or outcomes.
A source may lack usable captions. The church may not have the rights needed to use it. A provider can fail. A reviewer may decide the draft is inaccurate, pastorally unsuitable, inaccessible, or not worth publishing. Views, engagement, attendance, and ministry outcomes depend on the source, the review work, the channel, the audience, and decisions outside the software.
This is a useful budgeting test. If the purchase only makes sense when every allowed kit succeeds, every generated page is usable, and every post performs well, the plan rests on assumptions the offer does not support.
What is excluded from the plan
The offer has fixed Seats, a monthly generation allowance, and the video-upload allowances disclosed on the pricing page. The following are not included:
- annual billing or an annual discount;
- an overage charge for a Sermon Kit beyond the selected plan's allowance;
- prepaid generation credits;
- add-on Seats or a separate in-product approval chain;
- audio transcription for the YouTube intake when captions and pasted text are unavailable;
- a verified promise of live social publishing;
- guaranteed output, turnaround time, savings, reach, or engagement.
An exclusion is not automatically a defect. A fixed-Seat static workflow may be exactly what a church needs. Compare the Seat limits and the external-publishing exclusion with your church's workflow.
Questions to answer before checkout
Ask these while the pricing page, Checkout page, final terms, and a product demonstration are all open. Save the answers your church relies on.
Does Checkout match the offer?
Confirm the selected amount is US$29.95, US$59, or US$119, the currency is USD, and the interval is monthly. The free uses come before you choose a plan. Check the first charge and renewal details in Checkout.
What happens with tax?
The published terms require applicable taxes. Check the final total and tax line in Checkout for your location.
What are the refund and cancellation rules?
Read the published terms: the Owner cancels in Settings, and paid cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. Refund eligibility is limited by the terms; duplicate charges and material errors are handled separately. The terms also describe which Seat remains after cancellation. Account deletion and removal of third-party content are separate actions.
Is Verse of the Day part of the purchase?
Verse of the Day is free with any account, so it is not part of what a plan buys and does not use the generation allowance. Check the source and permissions for any scripture content separately.
Which destinations work now?
External publishing is excluded from the current subscription. Use the church's existing approved process for publication.
How to compare the price with other tools
Do not rank sermon tools by the first monthly number on each page. The public plans use different allowance units and cover different jobs.
The Church Media Kit figures above were checked on October 12, 2026. The competitor rows below were checked on October 5, 2026 and record vendor claims, not independent tests. Prices and plan contents can change, so open each linked page before making a decision.
| Public plan entry | Price shown | What the vendor uses as the plan shape | Why it is not a direct match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Church Media Kit pricing | Starter US$29.95, Growth US$59, Volume US$119 per month | Five, eleven, or twenty-five Sermon Kits; 5, 10, or 20 Seats; Church Page; video-upload allowances stated on the page | Compare the monthly offer and allowances with your church's actual needs |
| Pulpit AI Basic | US$39 per month | Five file uploads per month; vendor advertises document, audio, video, clip, transcript, and discipleship-content jobs | Broader inputs and video outputs, plus a trial and annual option |
| Sermon Shots Silver Suite | US$67 billed monthly | Ten upload hours per month; vendor advertises clips, transcription, quote images, carousels, guides, and other outputs | Time-based upload allowance, video work, trial, and annual option |
| ChurchSocial | See current vendor pricing | The vendor describes a modular social planner with optional sermon and graphics tools | Open the current offer; pricing and add-ons may change |
A fair comparison records, for every option:
- the source it accepts and the allowance unit (kits, uploads, or hours);
- the outputs the vendor actually includes;
- the editing and human-review work left after generation;
- seats, roles, and approval controls;
- trial, and monthly or annual commitment;
- overage, add-on, tax, and cancellation costs;
- export and publishing boundaries, and the evidence you saw in a live demonstration.
Once those rows are filled in, the headline price becomes one fact among many. A lower amount can still be the wrong purchase if it excludes the job your team needs. A higher amount can still be wasteful if your team will not use the added work types.
When this plan may fit
The offer may fit when a church wants editable sermon-based drafts, has people in the included Seats to review them, and its needs align with the plan allowances. Someone must review the source, correct the wording and design, and make the final publishing decision.
The allowance can fit a weekly-sermon rhythm with occasional additional services, provided expected demand fits the plan's allowance for each paid period. Your church should be comfortable skipping a kit when the source or review capacity is not ready.
When this plan does not fit
Choose another process or product if your church needs:
- a generation allowance above the highest listed Volume plan;
- an extra-kit or credit-pack purchase;
- an annual contract;
- more active Team Members and pending invitations than the selected plan's Seats allow;
- audio transcription for the YouTube intake when captions or pasted text are unavailable;
- external publishing from Church Media Kit;
- a fixed tax-inclusive total before the purchase flow establishes it;
- guaranteed output volume, turnaround, savings, or results.
A manual workflow may also fit. If one volunteer already prepares one simple approved post each week without much friction, another subscription can add more administration than it removes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the allowance per calendar month?
No. It is per paid period, which follows your renewal date. Use the renewal date shown in your account, not the first day of the month.
Can several volunteers share the plan?
Each Church has one Owner and plan-included Seats for active Team Members and pending invitations: Starter has five, Growth ten, and Volume twenty. Invite each person with their own account and role. Team roles provide account access, not an in-app approval chain. Additional Seats are not sold separately. The Owner changes plans or cancels in Settings; the Stripe Customer Portal handles payment details and invoice history.
Are taxes included in the displayed price?
The published terms say applicable taxes are required. Confirm the final total and tax line in Checkout for your location before authorizing payment.
Does the plan include Verse of the Day or social publishing?
Verse of the Day is free with any account and is not part of what a plan buys. External publishing is excluded from the current subscription.
What should we save before buying?
Save the offer, Checkout total, renewal date, allowance wording, final terms, tax line, cancellation instructions, and written answers to any material product question. That record gives your church something concrete to compare with the account after purchase.
The buying decision in one sentence
Evaluate Church Media Kit against the current monthly plan and allowance details, including Sermon Kit counts, Seats, Church Page, and the separately stated video-upload allowance. Read the published terms and buy only if the offer and the remaining human review fit your church's workflow.
