SermonCast review
A church video platform that pairs streaming with virtual-campus and OTT features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SermonCast is a paid church streaming and video-on-demand platform for Christian churches and ministries managing live services, recorded sermons, and online audience engagement. It supports live church-service streaming, sermon libraries, website embeds, simulated-live scheduling, and distribution to Facebook, YouTube, mobile apps, and OTT destinations. Churches can also use a virtual campus with live chat, sermon notes, visitor registration, and calls to action, making the product suited to organizations building a more structured online ministry presence rather than simply broadcasting a service.
Its plan structure scales from core video publishing to branded digital destinations. Starter costs $59 per month with annual billing and includes Live or VOD, a website embed and channel page, basic analytics, and podcasting with a VOD option. Standard costs $129 per month with annual billing and adds live and VOD with automatic archiving, Virtual Campus, branded player controls, series pages, standard analytics, and pre-roll, post-roll, and banner engagement tools. Plus costs $269 per month with annual billing and adds branded Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV apps alongside advanced analytics. The plans give churches a clear path from embedded video to a broader branded OTT presence.
SermonCast’s strongest differentiator is the combination of distribution, archive management, and interactive viewing features. Automatic live-stream archiving with DVR editing can support an organized sermon library, while analytics cover viewers, watch time, devices, and geography. Simulated-live scheduling also provides a way to present prerecorded content as scheduled programming. Churches that want virtual-campus tools, social and OTT distribution, and branded apps should consider SermonCast. A church seeking only a basic livestream or a free entry point may find its paid, annual-billing structure less suitable.
