OnStage vs ServeFlow: Worship Planner

OnStage is a service-planning platform for churches, bringing event preparation, people, songs and team communication into one place. Teams can set up events and rehearsals, create setlists, assign people to positions and reuse event templates. Its song library handles chords, lyrics and song structures, with PDF import, annotations, key changes and capo settings. Team and event chats support messages, attachments, polls, replies and read receipts. Events, rehearsals and blockouts can sync to Google Calendar; that sync is available on iPhone, iPad and Android. The app also supports offline access during rehearsals and services, and runs on Android, iOS, macOS and web. Starter is free, does not expire and does not require card details, but is limited to five members, 200MB of storage and five events per month. Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly, with member sizes from 20 to 1,000 and different storage and event limits. The listed 20-member plan costs $10 a month; yearly billing is available at 15% off.

ServeFlow: Worship Planner is a free worship service scheduling app for worship leaders and volunteer musicians, available on iOS and macOS. Teams can build service plans with sections, songs, keys, and BPM, then assign band, vocal, and technical roles. Services can be saved as templates and copied for another date. A searchable song library provides lyrics, keys, and reference tracks. Lyrics are supported in Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, and English, with romanized readings for those multilingual songs; churches can configure Bible languages for scripture in plans and projection. Team members can confirm their availability and mark dates they cannot serve. The app sends reminders the evening before and morning of a service, as well as push notifications when a user is added or a plan changes. Setup and teardown checklists can be assigned and tracked by person. Version 2.0 states that services work offline. Users can sign in with Apple, Google, or email. The free plan is listed for iPhone and iPad in English. Rezumab LLC indicates that name and email may be collected for app functionality and are not linked to the user.
