EcclesiaFlow vs Lutheran Service Builder

EcclesiaFlow is a web-based worship service planning tool for churches. Teams can build an order of service and rearrange items with drag-and-drop planning. Live timestamps show the planned duration of each worship item. Volunteers can be assigned to activities, while the scheduling system detects conflicts and sends email notifications. Its song library stores keys, CCLI numbers, usage history, and scripture references. Churches can save recurring services as templates and share a bulletin through a QR code; recipients need neither an app download nor a login. The setup flow lets a church create an organization, invite team members, and build schedules with songs, scriptures, and volunteer assignments. EcclesiaFlow offers a Core plan at free, with no credit card required. The product is presented for modern churches organizing worship services.

Lutheran Service Builder is paid web software for planning worship services, bulletins, and presentations. Service plans can include daily propers, lectionary or other readings, hymns, an order of service, rites, and staff notes. Bulletin and presentation views draw from the plan; bulletins export to a word processor, while presentations export to MediaShout 6. Global search filters resources by type, topic, tune, meter, author, copyright, and holiday, and can show hymn text, melody, copyright details, and Scripture references. My Worship Resources stores custom elements and liturgies, supports creating hymns and common service parts, and reuses templates. Desktop databases, including custom resources, can be uploaded. The Concordia Organist add-on creates playlists and downloadable MP3 ZIP files. A separate Hymn License tracks covered use and submits reports, with stated exclusions for LSB 462 tune and LSB 712 text and tune. Core plans start at $500 a year for 1–199 weekly attendance.
