ChurchLab review
A church-focused streaming and media archive platform starting at $29 per month.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ChurchLab combines live church streaming with sermon publishing and media management. It is designed for churches that need to broadcast services, automatically record them, organize sermon archives, create clips, and convert audio for podcast distribution. Churches can stream to Facebook Live and YouTube Live simultaneously, publish selected content to social platforms and podcast services, and embed streams in a website or church app on supported plans. The platform is available on web and iOS, with workflows suited to volunteer or professional media teams.
Pricing is structured across three monthly plans, with a 30-day trial and no permanent free plan. Relay Only costs $29 per month and includes automated stream events, recording, clipping, sermon archives, and podcasting, but website embed code begins with Standard. At $49 per month, Standard adds 1080p streaming, an embeddable player, and detailed viewer metrics. Pro costs $79 per month and adds simulated live streaming, private stream events and embeds, transcoding, a multi-bitrate player, and SRT ingest. Recording storage remains limited, so churches should consider their archive volume when selecting a plan.
Its ecosystem covers Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Vimeo, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, OBS, Wirecast, vMix, Zoom, SRT, RTMP, and church-app distribution on supported plans. That makes ChurchLab a practical fit for churches already using common production tools and wanting publishing features alongside broadcasts. Its focus is narrower than a broader multichannel video platform: live destination coverage centers on Facebook and YouTube, while advanced streaming controls are reserved for Pro. Choose ChurchLab if sermon archives, podcast conversion, scheduling, and church-oriented embeds matter more than broad platform reach. Churches needing more destinations or a permanent free tier should consider alternatives.
