Best church translation apps compared (2026)
Which are the best church translation apps for your church? Here are 15 live translation services churches use, side by side on what each one publishes: the price of a normal month, the free trial, how guests follow, languages, the translated voice and the software churches already run. Livefy wrote this page. Every fact about the other church translation apps comes from their own pages, as published on 17 and 19 October 2026, with a link to each.

Which ones need no app for guests?
Livefy, Wordly, Glossa, OneAccord, Synai, wetranslate, Maestra, OmniWord, ChurchTranslator.AI, Streamlingo, LiveInterpret.AI and Event Translate publish that guests follow in the browser (ChurchTranslator.AI also offers an optional iPhone app). LiveVoice’s browser works too, though it strongly recommends its app on phones. Kaleo shows captions in the browser but needs its app to hear the voice.
