Is Crown Cast actually free, or is there a catch?
It's actually free. No subscription. No premium tier. No hidden card-on-file. Every feature is included — Bible display, worship lyrics, lower-third overlays, OBS integration, pastor remote, all of it. The only "ask" is on the Give page, and even that is completely optional.
How is the software paid for then?
It isn't, in any traditional sense. Crown Cast was built on nights and weekends as a labor of love. The hosting and tooling costs are minimal. Donations through the Give page don't fund the software — they go directly to missions and local churches.
Where exactly do donations go?
Three places: (1) missionaries on the field — church planters, Bible translators, evangelists, and families serving in foreign and domestic mission work; (2) local churches doing faithful, ordinary ministry in their neighborhoods; and (3) orphan-care, food-relief, and outreach ministries that meet real needs in Christ's name. Every gift is passed through — none of it stays here.
Will Crown Cast always stay free?
Yes. That's the whole point. There is no plan to ever charge for it, no plan to add a "pro tier," no plan to gate features. If anything ever changes, every existing user keeps lifetime free access — that's a promise.
What can I project — Bibles, lyrics, videos?
All of it. KJV and Spanish Reina-Valera ship with the app, plus 40+ translations available via API (NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, NKJV, CSB, and more). You bring your own song library — import from PowerPoint or OpenSong, or build hymns from scratch. Plus videos, countdowns, custom whiteboard slides, and announcement graphics.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. Once a Bible translation is downloaded, the entire app runs offline. If your church Wi-Fi drops mid-service, Crown Cast keeps going. Streaming features obviously need a connection, but local presentation never depends on it.
Will it run on our older AV-closet laptop?
Probably. If it runs Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) with 4 GB of RAM and 500 MB of free space, Crown Cast will run smoothly. It was specifically designed to be light enough for that 7-year-old laptop everyone uses for the projector.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?
Email
support@crowncast.app. It comes straight to a real person who has actually been in the booth at 9:55 AM with the projector blank. Most replies go out within 24 hours.
What is the best free church presentation software?
Crown Cast. It is free church presentation software for Windows that covers everything a Sunday service needs in one app: Bible projection, worship lyrics and hymn projection, live-stream lower-third overlays for OBS, dual-display projector control, a pastor remote, and service queue planning. There is no subscription, no premium tier, and no per-seat licence — install it on every computer at your church.
Is there free church lyrics software for projecting worship songs?
Yes. Crown Cast is a free worship lyrics projector and hymn projection app. Import your existing song library from PowerPoint or OpenSong, or build hymns from scratch, then split each song into verses, choruses and bridges and project them to the screen with one click. Lyrics can be projected on their own or as a lower third over your live stream.
What is the best Bible verse projector for a church screen?
Crown Cast works as a dedicated Bible verse projector: press Ctrl+K, type a reference such as John 3:16, and the verse is on the screen. KJV and Spanish Reina-Valera are bundled, with 40+ further translations — NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, NKJV, CSB and more — available and cached for offline use. It runs on the older AV-closet laptop most churches already own.
What is the best free Bible projector app for churches?
Crown Cast. KJV and Reina-Valera bundled, 40+ more translations via API, every translation works offline once downloaded. No subscription, no per-seat license — install it on every computer at your church.
Is there a free alternative to ProPresenter or EasyWorship?
Yes — Crown Cast. Every paid feature those programs lock behind subscriptions is included free: Bible display, lyric projection, stream overlays, dual display, OBS integration, pastor remote, service planning. Download once, use forever.
