Our verdict on Ekko
Ekko is a faith-based engagement and discipleship platform for churches, ministries, conferences and other organisations. It brings sermons, sermon series, livestreams, on-demand replays, groups, prayer, messages, community feeds, courses, studies, devotionals, events and announcements into web, iOS and Android experiences. Churches focused on content distribution and spiritual growth will find the product's scope closely aligned with ongoing ministry communication.
Pricing follows a freemium model. The published plans show free access with branding, while Ekko also supports co-branded and white-labelled apps. Church and organisation pricing is quote-based, and the pricing page mentions a free personal app and a free trial. Platform coverage includes web, iOS and Android, with publishing support for the App Store and Google Play. Scheduled push notifications help churches keep members informed about content, events and announcements across those channels.
Ekko's standout area is the connection between content and participation. Sermon publishing can extend into AI-generated highlights and study guides, while courses, daily devotionals, groups, prayer and community feeds create several paths for continued engagement. Engagement and spiritual-growth insights add a measurement layer, but AI-assisted sermon and study materials remain subject to leader review. Ekko is a strong fit for churches wanting one branded environment for teaching, streaming and community. Teams looking primarily for a narrowly focused tool, or whose priorities center on functions outside this content-and-discipleship model, may prefer a more specialised option.
