Worship Planning Software
Alternatives to OnStage
OnStage organizes church service work around events, rehearsals, setlists, assigned positions, and reusable templates. Its song library handles chords, lyrics, structures, PDF imports, annotations, key changes, and capo settings. Team and event chats add attachments, polls, replies, and read receipts, while Google Calendar synchronization and offline access support planning across Android, iOS, macOS, and the web. Volunteer scheduling, participant assignments, service templates, notifications, and a service calendar round out the workflow.

Choosing instead of OnStage
The free Starter plan allows five members, 200MB of storage, and five events monthly. Paid plans begin at $10/mo, with larger member and storage allowances and yearly billing available at 15% off. Churches may seek alternatives for giving, accounting, attendance, child check-in, broader member administration, resource booking, or presentation. Others may need Windows, Linux, or self-hosted access. Compare each option’s worship features, additional church operations, platform coverage, team capacity, and price before switching.
