SongShow Plus review
A worship-focused presentation suite with deep projection and media controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SongShow Plus is presentation software for churches and worship teams that need to create and present song lyrics, Scripture, sermon notes, announcements, images, video and custom slideshows. Its feature set is built around worship projection: searchable song databases, expandable Bible versions, a Slide Builder, PowerPoint playback and conversion, stage display, multi-display output, live-video overlays and IMAG support. Web, Windows, macOS and iOS access are listed, with the Windows application serving as the central desktop environment.
Pricing spans one-time editions, annual subscriptions and licensing options. The Basic Edition covers song, media, Scripture, web-page and slideshow presentation, with export to images or HTML. Professional adds video and audio chaining, timers, effects, transitions, visualizations and DVD support. Ultra adds NDI, environmental projection, stage display and multi-display support. The Projection License costs $95 one time for an additional local-church projection license, while the Projection Site License costs $399 one time for unlimited projection licenses for a local church organization. Annual plans range from Bronze at $180 to Silver at $240 and Platinum at $450, adding upgrades, integrations, cloud storage, mobile control, weekday support, priority phone support and training at higher levels.
The ecosystem is a strong fit for teams already working with Planning Center Online, Shift Worship, SongSelect, Microsoft Bing, Dropbox or Google Drive. SongShow Plus also includes cloud media synchronization and sharing between machines, a Mobile Control progressive web app, and Computer Vision image indexing. That combination suits churches coordinating lyrics, media and multiple displays across services. It is less compelling for users seeking a broad presentation tool outside worship, or for teams that do not need Scripture, song databases, stage output or live-video overlays. Choose it when church projection depth matters more than general-purpose simplicity; choose an alternative when standard slide presentation is the primary need.
