SermonShots is a well-known sermon clip tool built for churches, and for good reason. This comparison is honest about where they're stronger and where we are.
Short version: the same core job at less than half the price of their clip tier, captions that match the language you preach in, and a printable packet with every sermon. SermonShots is stronger on blog posts, quote images and dubbing.
SermonShots pricing is from their own pricing page, checked September 2026. They bill yearly or monthly, and the yearly rate is lower. Sermon Clips is billed monthly or weekly.

Sermon Clips detects the language a sermon was preached in and burns word-timed captions in that language, including:
Captions are in the language your pulpit speaks. Sermon Clips does not translate or dub; if you need dubbing, SermonShots Gold has it and we do not.
We build a competing tool, so read this the way you would read any review written by a rival, with the bias declared up front. What follows is what SermonShots genuinely does well and where churches tell us they run into its edges. Where they are better than us, we say so.
If what you want is the whole content package, including a blog post and quote images from the same sermon, SermonShots Silver ($57/month billed yearly, $67 monthly) does something we do not do at any price, and Gold adds dubbing, which we do not do either. That is a real reason to choose them, and if it describes you, choose them.
If what you want is Sunday's sermon back as vertical clips with captions, week after week, then you are paying $53 to $63 a month for the clip tier and the extra features are not doing anything for you. That is the case we would make for switching, and it is the only case we would make.
The volume leader and faster-moving, but built for general creators, its captions have no reason to know how to spell a book of the Bible.
Audio-first, and strongest on podcast clips. Weaker on a full sermon video.
Church-specific and broader than clips alone, closer to a whole social-media workflow.
There's no contract, no migration, no data export headache. Upload your next sermon to Sermon Clips and see what you get. If the clips are better, switch. If they're not, stay where you are.
Your first two sermons are free. No credit card required.

Silver, which adds guides, devotionals, blog posts and quote images, is $57/month billed yearly or $67 monthly. Gold, which adds dubbing, is $87/month billed yearly or $97 monthly.

Yes, on the clip tier. Sermon Clips is $23.99/month at the Founding Pastor rate (locked for life), or $9.99/week. SermonShots Plus is $53/month billed yearly or $63 monthly, so the Founding Pastor rate is less than half of it for the core job of captioned vertical clips.
Sermon Clips detects the language a sermon was preached in and captions it in that language, including Spanish, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese and French. Sermon Clips does not translate or dub. SermonShots Gold lists dubbing.
SermonShots Silver ($57/month billed yearly, $67 monthly) adds blog posts and quote images, and Gold adds dubbing. Sermon Clips does not do those. We do include a printable packet with each sermon (transcript, sermon notes, five-day devotional, key quotes and discussion questions), so we are not clips only. If blog posts, quote images or dubbing are your primary need today, SermonShots may be the right choice.
No. Finished clips land in your dashboard and email with durable download links, and you post them from your own accounts. Check SermonShots' own pricing page for what it offers here.
It's a credible church-specific clip tool, and the entry tier suits a solo pastor posting occasionally. The limits show up as a church scales: caption styling is basic next to mobile-tuned alternatives, analytics after publishing are thin, and the smaller user base means fewer integrations. For weekly English output at a small church, it does the job.
The recurring praise is that it was built for churches rather than general creators, so the vocabulary and framing fit. The recurring complaint is price against what the clip-only tier delivers, since the suites climb quickly. Read any review, this one included, knowing who wrote it. We build a competing tool and say so on the page.
