More than four years ago we wrote a short post about the free and open source alternatives to the professional, and somewhat costly, church presentation software products that were available back then. That blog post, to our surprise, immediately got a lot of attention and shares on social media. The comment section, which is still active today, was quickly filled with literal praise, questions and recommendations by our readers. It was obvious that there was a big crowd actively searching for options on how to handle the AV and multimedia content at their sermons and church services, and not many sites offering a listing of the available free alternatives.

Today, in 2019, the space has gotten a more crowded, with more products and offers, and the amount of web sites blogging about the Church Presentation Software space has grown significantly. However, we couldn’t find a single post that offered an up-to-date listing of all the available Church Presentation Software products. And that’s when we decided to make an effort to compose such a list and dedicate our self to keep it updated. We are going to keep adding new products as they appear on the market and move discontinued products and projects to the graveyard section (at the bottom of this post).

Time was, there was only one presentation tool available. It had its plus points – it wasn’t a big piece of paper on an easel – but if you found it hard to use or you just plain didn’t like it, well, there wasn’t a lot you could do about that. Fast forward to 2017 and we have the opposite problem. There are literally hundreds of tools out there now for different platforms and offering different takes on building and displaying presentations. The problem we have now is there are too many to keep track of!

That’s why we made this list: to help you find and rate the best business presentation software in a crowded marketplace.
