Best sermon clip tools for churches (2026)

Shorts by Sliceours

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.

The right choice if…

• You want to read the list of moments and choose the ones that say what your pastor meant, rather than receive a fixed few.
• You make more than five clips a sermon, or clips longer than a minute.
• You want the lowest flat price here: $14.99 a month, with no cap on sermons.
• You want vertical, square or wide from the same clip.

Where it falls short for a church

• No team accounts yet: each account is one person's, so two volunteers need two accounts.
• YouTube sometimes blocks the link import. Uploading the file works every time.
• It does not post or schedule: you download the clips and post them.
• It does not check worship music, and it writes no devotionals, discussion guides or blog posts.
• Caption fonts cover Latin-alphabet languages and Hebrew, not yet Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi or Thai.
• No third-party reviews to report yet.

Pricing, in plain words

• $14.99 a month or $149 a year, for as many sermons as you put through it (up to 1,000 exports a month). In lower-income countries, $6.99 a month or $69 a year, shown automatically.
• Your first clip is free, no card. Then a 3-day free trial for the rest.
• Transcripts are separate: one recording a day free, or Transcribe hour packs paid once ($4.99, $9.99, $24.99). With hours, the sermon tools: Bible passages with their times, the sermon in parts, starred quotes, an AI outline and small-group questions, Word notes, a print page.

Sermon Clipsmade for churches

Best for a church that wants up to five finished clips from every Sunday with nothing to edit, captioned in the language the sermon was preached in.

The right choice if…

• You want finished clips in your inbox and no editing at all.
• Five clips a week is plenty.
• Your sermon is preached in Korean or another language Slice's caption fonts do not cover.
• You want sermon notes and a devotional included in the price.

What it does well

• Paste a YouTube link or upload an MP4 or MOV; services up to four hours.
• Up to five clips per sermon, 30 to 60 seconds each, vertical with the preacher tracked, captions burned in and the audio cleaned up. One email when they are ready.
• Captions in the language preached: its page names English, Spanish, Swahili, Korean and Afrikaans "and most others".
• Skips openings, announcements and the closing prayer when it picks moments, per its page.
• A Sermon Packet with every sermon: a cleaned transcript, sermon notes, a five-day devotional, key quotes and a discussion guide.
• If a sermon comes back with fewer clips than asked for, its pricing page says that sermon's credit goes back on the account.

Where it falls short

• Up to five clips per sermon, 30 to 60 seconds each.
• Vertical only: its page says square and landscape are not made yet.
• Changes are limited: start and end move up to 15 seconds, 3 re-renders per clip, and up to 3 moments of your own per sermon while the recording is kept (30 days).
• It does not post for you, dub, or add music or b-roll, as its own page says.

Pricing, in plain words

• Free: your first 2 sermons, no card. Every feature, but each free clip ends with a 1.5-second sermon-clips.com card.
• Weekly Pass: $9.99 a week, cancel any week.
• Founding Pastor: $23.99 a month, which the page says is "grandfathered for life as long as your subscription stays active".
• Every plan gets the same features; the plans differ in how many Sundays and the end card.

Pulpit AImade for churches

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

The right choice if…

• Your church already runs on Subsplash.
• The written material (guides, devotionals, recap emails) matters as much as the clips.
• Your pastor wants help preparing next week's sermon too.

What it does well

• Every plan includes unlimited custom and automatic clips, captions you can style (fonts, colours, karaoke highlighting), transcripts and summaries.
• Small-group discussion guides, daily devotionals, blog posts, newsletters and a weekly recap email from each sermon.
• A sermon assistant for preparation: openers, illustrations, application and related passages.
• Takes video, audio, PDFs, Word files and slides; with Subsplash, any media item in the Subsplash dashboard, without uploading it again.
• Made by Subsplash, the church app and media company.

Where it falls short

• Priced per upload: 5 a month on Basic, so a church with midweek services or several preachers uses them fast.
• Its pages talk about uploading files; they do not say it takes a YouTube link.
• Its pages do not say which languages it covers or how long a recording can be.

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%.

Sermon Shotsmade for churches

Best for churches that want clips plus a week of written content from each sermon (discussion guides, devotionals, blog posts, quote images) and can budget about $60 a month.

The right choice if…

• You want one tool for the whole week's content, written and video, and the budget allows about $60 a month.
• You stream through Switcher or Resi and want the sermon to arrive without a download.
• You want sermons dubbed into other languages.

What it does well

• Beyond clips (Silver and up): discussion guides, 5-day devotionals, blog posts, summaries, quote and verse lists, quote images and thumbnails.
• Dubs a sermon into other languages on Gold.

Where it falls short

• The entry plan is $63 a month, or $53 billed yearly: about four times Slice, and more than double Sermon Clips or Pulpit AI's Basic.
• Discussion guides, devotionals and publishing to Facebook and Instagram start on Silver, not Plus.
• Uploads are capped at 10 hours a month on every paid plan.
• Its pages do not say which languages its captions cover.

Pricing, in plain words

• Free: 2 free sermon clips, no card required.
• Plus: $63 a month, or $53 a month billed yearly ($636 a year). Unlimited sermon clips, full sermon transcription, audio for a podcast, 10 hours of uploads a month, uploads from a livestream and integrations.
• Silver Suite: $67 a month, or $57 a month billed yearly ($684 a year). Adds shareable sermon pages, quote images, thumbnails, social carousels, discussion guides, blog posts, 5-day devotionals, quotes and verses, summaries, and direct publishing to Facebook and Instagram.
• Gold Suite: $97 a month, or $87 a month billed yearly ($1,044 a year). Adds AI video dubbing (33 languages, per its feature table) and more discussion guides.

Slice on a real sermon

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.

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.

How we compared

Compared from each tool's public pages and pricing on 5 October 2026; we make Slice. For each tool we opened its pricing page and its home, feature or church page in Chrome, not signed in and with no cookies accepted, and took the pricing screenshots shown for Sermon Clips, Pulpit AI and Sermon Shots. We read what each page states about price, the free tier, how a sermon gets in, languages, worship music, and what it makes besides clips. Where a page does not say, we wrote “not stated” rather than borrow a figure from a review site or another roundup.

We did not test the other tools, and we did not read their reviews: Trustpilot asked for a browser check, and a rating we could not read is not one we report. OpusClip’s and Choppity’s prices are from our check on 30 September 2026, on the best AI clipping tools; their church pages were read on 5 October 2026.

Slice is described from the product itself: its prices and limits are read from the same code the app runs on (for example, files up to 3 hours and 2GB), and the sermon run is a real one, read back from our database. Prices change, so check a tool’s page before you pay.
