MediaShout - 2025 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

What is MediaShout?

MediaShout is a church presentation software which enables the display of song lyrics, announcements, bibles passages, and almost any type of media file. The solution includes templates, fire buttons, social media integrations, text formatting, editor/presenter views, a sermon builder, and more.

MediaShout's editor provides users with a drag-and-drop interface for creating custom presentations. The sermon builder includes a wizard to assist users with creating their sermon slides. The cues library plugin allows users to save their favorite cues and easily add them to future presentations. Users can also edit slides further once cues have been added. Scripture passages from a variety of Bibles can be added to presentations, with the American Standard Version, King James Version, Webster Bible, and many others integrated.

The stage display in MediaShout enables the display of content to pastors and worship teams. Items can be copied directly from the main display to the stage display, and users can then edit items on the stage display only. Notes, previews of upcoming slides, and additional information can be shown to the worship team during sermons.

Pros

“Love the ease of use of mediashout. So glad to use them again instead of versions that create more work.”

Timothy C.

Pastor

“The software is relatively easy to navigate and has some great features. The newest interface with version 7 is nice.”

Andy L.

Web Administrator

“MediaShout is an upgrade over PowerPoint and has a nice modern UI. It has improved reliability in the last couple versions.”

Dave G.

Pastor

Cons

“The program crashed a lot. There were several times when I was using the program that it crashed with no warning and I had to reboot the entire program.”

Chris B.

Minister of Youth

“Instead, because they made an unfortunate decision to do business with the wrong company, it was going to cost US -the customer- $400. No product discount, no alternate license or work around.”
