Genially vs Holyrics

Genially is a cloud-based web app for creating interactive presentations, courses, quizzes and games. Users add interactions and animations by selecting elements and choosing actions, without coding. The platform includes thousands of customizable templates, illustration tools, presentation design, a Brand Kit and real-time collaboration, with simultaneous editing and comments on drafts or published content. Analytics report visits, responses and interactions. AI tools generate content, and Genially says user data and designs are not used to train AI models. Courses can publish to LMS or LXP platforms through LTI 1.3, SCORM 1.2 or an iframe, including Moodle, Canvas and Google Classroom integrations. Genially states SOC 2 Type 2 certification and GDPR, FERPA and COPPA compliance; data is stored in AWS Ireland and encrypted in transit and at rest. The web-only product has a Free plan at free, with 1,000+ templates and resources, 2 GB storage and 500 AI credits yearly. Paid plans are billed annually.

Holyrics is presentation software for churches that display lyrics and Bible verses at worship services and events. It can present song lyrics, scripture, text, images, audio, video, countdowns, alerts and stage-view content. The audio and video player supports VLC Media Player, while the mobile app can access program data and control presentations. Cloud synchronization shares program data and media files between computers but leaves local settings out. Telegram features include questions, polls, draws, chat synchronization and file transfer through a chatbot; direct chat file transfers are limited to 20MB, with Google Drive links suggested for larger files. The Advanced plan includes an online API for HTTP requests from other applications. Holyrics does not stream directly, though it is compatible with streaming programs. Desktop versions are available for Windows, Linux and Mac and require Java 8; Java 9 does not work. The software plan is free; Basic is $5 a month, Advanced is $10 a month, and Advanced + Worshipwide is $25 a month. The iOS app is $0.99, paid once.
