He died so that we all can be forgiven and made right before God.

He didn't stay dead.

He rose and he offers every person the gift of life and life eternal upon belief on him.

And this, my friends, is the greatest

When Sunflower AI may be the better fit

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. Sunflower AI could suit you better if:

  • You want spoken translation in several languages on a small plan: Sunflower AI's Basic plan includes speech in up to 5 languages.
  • You're a church plant or have under 100 people, and can use its 50% first-year discount.
  • You'd like a month-long trial, or translated print documents like sermon notes and run sheets.
  • You need your data hosted in Australia.

Questions

Which is cheaper, CaptionKit or Sunflower AI?

It depends on what you need. For text translation CaptionKit costs less: 8 hours with 5 languages is $50 a month in Australia. Sunflower AI's Basic plan is $90 a month for 7.5 hours and includes speech in up to 5 languages, so if you want audio in many languages on a small plan, Sunflower AI can work out cheaper. On every CaptionKit plan, the free app can also read translations aloud in the phone's own voice.

How many languages can we use at once?

Up to 40 text languages on one CaptionKit plan, chosen from over 200. Sunflower AI's Basic plan allows 5 target languages and Pro allows 10, from 83.

Can we run more than one room?

Yes. Up to 5 rooms on one CaptionKit campus share the same plan and hours, such as a main auditorium, kids' church and overflow. Sunflower AI's Basic plan includes 1 room and Pro includes 2.

What happens if we go over our hours?

CaptionKit never charges overage. A service that's running always finishes, and you can add hours from your plan page. Sunflower AI's Basic plan charges $40 for each extra hour.

Can listeners replay something they missed?

Yes. In CaptionKit, people can tap any earlier sentence to hear it again, then carry on live. Sunflower AI streams each language's audio live, with no way to go back to an earlier part of the sermon.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, 4 free hours with no credit card. Sunflower AI offers a longer trial (a month of its Basic plan), so if you want weeks to decide, that's worth knowing.

Made for church.
