Why choose Assemblea Presenter over FreeShow
The plan comes from your ChMS
Presenter receives songs and service plans from Assemblea, which also manages your church’s members, attendance, volunteers and giving.
Support in your language
Interface, guides and support in English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese, from the team that builds the app.
Bible in two languages
Two translations side by side on the same slide, with the reference in both: helpful in churches with more than one language group.

Frequently asked questions
Is FreeShow free like Presenter?
Yes, both are free. FreeShow is also open source; Presenter isn’t, and is built and supported by the Assemblea team.
Can I import songs from FreeShow?
Presenter doesn’t read FreeShow’s format. Copy the lyrics into text files, or use ChordPro, OpenLyrics or SongSelect files if you have them.
Which should I choose?
If you already use Assemblea or want church management software, Presenter is the natural choice. If you only need projection, try both: they’re free.
Does Presenter work without Assemblea?
