ProPresenter just got more expensive (and now it's a subscription)

ProPresenter just switched to a subscription model, and my feelings are mixed...

Quick update: Renewed Vision has said if you currently have ProPresenter+, you can use whatever version is available to you at expiration forever without a watermark. This means if you subscribe and then cancel, you can go BACK to that version.

Reading through some Facebook comments, it is clear our “we won’t raise your price for at least two years” commitment has been misunderstood to be “we are raising your price to $289 in two years.” This is not the case.

Our intent is to honor those who were ProPresenter+ customers by making this transition as seamless as possible, thus charging you the exact same amount as you were already planning to pay for a year of upgrades and support.

At some point in the future this price may increase, but our intention is that it be a nominal increase.

Great vid! I do want to confirm that all existing licenses will continue to work no matter what. Even if someone migrates to a subscription and then cancels. They’d just revert back to whatever version they had.

But I’ll definitely take a look at the copy and see how we can better clarify that! -RV staff

We're setting up a new system. We have been using OpenLP with a projector but are looking to add multiple video screens with multiple functions (main, stage, remote nursery). We need a more robust software package and were considering ProPresenter. Then, we found FreeShow, but weren't sure if it would be adequate. Well, I hope it is because ProPresenter is just too expensive for our small church.

Surprised? No. Disappointment? Yes. ProPresenter is an elite software with so much potential. It enables reliable church presentation that just works. However, what is the statistic...68% of churches in America are less than 100 people. So yes, even a few bucks increase (on an already premium price tag) is limiting for many churches. It would seem to make more sense to have a tier system where small churches can still use the software but with limited features. Likely most churches barely scratch the surface of the full capabilities and would not be inconvenienced to pay less money for less features that aren't being used anyway. Then the larger churches that want to utilize all the amazing features but can also afford to pay more for the features. A church of 100 is paying the same amount as a church of 5000 but it figures out to be $2.89 per person person per year vs less than .05 cents per person per year.

Renew vision when they release the video on YouTube got roasted in the comments so they had to disable them. It was kind of funny.

The more the reason I chose Freeshow over ProPresenter

i think the state of software (SAAS) is moving towards subscription models

We bought PoPresenter 7 in March of this year. Will we have to pay for the following subscriptions after two years? If so, I'm seriously thinking about switching to FreeShow.
