SongShow Plus
SongShow Plus is presentation software for churches preparing scripture, song lyrics, and custom slideshows for sermon content. It can present video, images, slideshows, and audio tracks, and includes tools to create or modify graphics and slideshows, adjust colors, and apply video filters. Content can be changed without rendering or exporting. The Ultra Edition supports multiple display windows, up to six output windows, and can broadcast output-window video over NDI on a local network; it does not accept NDI inputs. Bronze includes SongSelect, Planning Center Online, Shift Worship, and Microsoft Bing features, though the first three require separate subscriptions. Silver adds 5GB each of SongShow Drive and SongShow Sync, plus Mobile Control, a Progressive Web App that requires the presentation machine and controlling device to share a local network. SongShow Plus is paid and offers a 30-day trial and free evaluation downloads. Prices include a $95.00 USD one-time additional projection license, subscriptions at $180 a year and $240 a year, and the Ultra Edition at $249.00 USD once. It is a 32-bit application designed primarily for Windows 10 and tested on Windows 11.
