Your sermons, your app — not a YouTube channel. A private, member-only video library and live streaming built natively into Ekkluo. No ads, no “up next” distractions, no big-tech branding.
VOD Library
- 12 hrs of new video/month · 100-hour video library · 5,000 min member viewing/month
- Organize by series — sermon series, classes, special events
- Attach materials — study guides and notes (PDF) on any video
- Members sign in and watch on any device; shared links invite sign-in
Live + VOD
Everything in VOD Library, plus:
- 6 hrs live streaming/month · 10,000 min member viewing/month · 150-hour video library
- Stream from your existing setup — OBS, a streaming encoder, or a phone from anywhere
- Public or members-only, per stream — open Sunday service, private events
- Every broadcast auto-saved to your library, published when you choose — recordings never count against your upload hours
- Simulcast to YouTube & Facebook while members watch natively
Included usage covers most churches. Usage beyond your included allowances is billed automatically each month at published rates — larger churches simply pay for what they use, and your dashboard shows exactly where you stand before anything bills. See published rates
Streaming copyrighted worship music may require a CCLI/CVLI streaming license (your church’s responsibility).
This is what no surprises looks like.
The base plan is complete. Not a trial, not a limited tier. Every core feature your church needs to manage its people, schedule its volunteers, check in its children, and reach its community — included at $99/month. The add-ons exist for churches that need them. You will never be pressured to activate any of them.
