Our verdict on MediaShout
MediaShout is desktop presentation software for churches, ministries, worship leaders, pastors, and volunteer media teams. It creates presentations for lyrics, Scripture, sermons, announcements, images, video, and audio, with Windows and macOS versions available. Its multi-screen output supports separate control, audience, and stage or confidence displays, making it suited to worship services and live events that need more than a single presentation screen.
The published plans cover both subscriptions and perpetual licenses. MediaShout LE costs $198 per computer per year on Windows and includes primary presentation features, control and main screens, 70 Bibles, and CCLI SongSelect integration. MediaShout 7 Site costs $599 one time for Windows, with unlimited computers and control, main, and stage/confidence displays. Essentials costs $698 one time and adds one year of Plus Membership, support, training, and premium media packs. Complete costs $798 one time and adds one year of Shift Worship Media, unlimited media downloads, and direct Shift Worship integration. Mac plans range from $499 for Site to $698 for Complete, while the Shift Worship Media Plan costs $150 per year.
MediaShout’s strongest fit is a church media team that needs layered slide composition, Scripture search, lyric management, timed advance, scheduled play, triggers, presets, and PowerPoint PPT or PPTX import. CCLI SongSelect and Shift Worship provide focused ecosystem connections, while built-in Bible translations and 70 included Bibles support service preparation. Churches that need multi-display control and extensive media handling should find the feature set aligned with production-heavy services. Smaller teams seeking a lower-cost entry point may prefer a simpler presenter, while teams prioritizing browser-based collaboration should look elsewhere.
