The Pulpit AI alternative for sermon clips (2026)

Pulpit AI, from Subsplash, turns one sermon into many things: clips, discussion guides, devotionals, blog posts and a recap email, plus an assistant for preparing the next one. Churches that mostly want clips, and want them from every service without counting uploads, are the ones who compare it with Slice.

Our bias: we make Shorts by Slice. Compared from Pulpit AI's own pricing and product pages, checked 5 October 2026. We did not test Pulpit AI hands-on, and where it is the better choice we say so.

Pulpit AI’s figures from its pricing page and its own site, 5 October 2026. Prices in US dollars.

Choose Pulpit AI if…

  • Your church already runs on Subsplash, so the sermon is there without uploading it again.
  • You want discussion guides, devotionals, blog posts and a recap email from each sermon, as much as clips.
  • Your pastor would use an assistant for preparing next week's sermon.
  • You upload a written sermon or slides, not only a recording.

Choose Slice if…

  • You mostly want clips: $14.99 a month against $39, with no count of uploads.
  • You have more than five recordings a month: midweek services, youth, several preachers.
  • You want to paste the YouTube link rather than download the file and upload it.
  • You want a full editor to fix a word, trim a line or change the shape.

Where Slice loses to Pulpit AI

  • Pulpit AI writes discussion guides, devotionals, blog posts and recap emails; Slice writes none of these.
  • Pulpit AI helps with sermon preparation; Slice works only after the sermon is preached.
  • With Subsplash, Pulpit AI reads the sermon where it already is; Slice needs a link or a file.

Pulpit AI, in short

Best for churches that want the whole sermon turned into small-group and devotional material, with clips included, and that already use Subsplash.

Pricing, in plain words

  • Free trial: 2 free uploads, no credit card.
  • Basic: $39 a month for 5 file uploads a month.
  • Standard: $59 a month for 10 uploads a month.
  • Pro: $129 a month for 25 uploads a month.
  • Every plan has every feature; the difference is the number of uploads. Billed yearly, the page says you save 10%.

Reviews

We did not read Pulpit AI's reviews for this page, so there are no ratings, praise or complaints here: its own site is the only source above.

Slice, in short

Best for a church that wants to choose its own moments from every sermon, at a flat price, with as many clips as it likes.

$14.99 a month or $149 a year. Your first clip is free, no card, then a 3-day free trial for the rest. Paste the YouTube link to the sermon, or upload the file: YouTube sometimes blocks a link, and uploading works every time.

What it does not do yet, plainly: there are no team accounts, so each volunteer has their own; it does not post or schedule; it does not check the worship music for you; and it writes no devotionals or blog posts. More on the page for churches.

Slice on a real sermon

We did not run Pulpit AI, so we will not guess how it does. Here is what Slice did with a real one: Tim Keller’s “Let the Psalms Teach You to Pray”, a 40-minute message published on The Gospel Coalition’s YouTube channel, brought in by its link on 5 October 2026.

  • About two and a half minutes from the link to the list: the transcript took under two minutes, and finding the moments 49 seconds.
  • It listed 4 moments, already cut, captioned and vertical, running 1:09, 1:07, 0:27 and 1:32.
  • The one built from the most pieces, “My self-image looked like a Frankenstein monster”, joins 13 passages from 36:33 to 38:48. That is the kind of clip to read before posting, to be sure it still says what the preacher said.
The Slice clips page for the sermon, headed "4 clips from this episode": four vertical previews of Tim Keller preaching, each with a white title box and a caption on the picture. Under them, the titles "Spiritual but not religious" means I want to live however I want (1m 9s), Aristotle said you can’t be friends with God — then look at the cross (1m 7s), Nobody dying ever says "I wish I’d made more money" (27s) and My self-image looked like a Frankenstein monster (1m 32s), each with an Export button. Above them, the Caption style row (Clean, Bold, Pop, Minimal, No captions), Bigger text and Hook title On or Off.
What Slice gave back for the sermon: four clips, already vertical and captioned, with Slice’s suggested title on each. Press play to watch one, or Export to download it. Tap to enlarge.

Nothing was posted. The titles are Slice’s suggestions, not the preacher’s words. The whole run, step by step, is in how to turn a sermon into short clips.
