ProPresenter is the industry standard, but its price and complexity put it out of reach for many churches. Reuna offers the same essential features with no entry cost: start in the browser and project with the free app for Mac and Windows.
What using ProPresenter really involves
ProPresenter is excellent software for productions with budget and staff. These are the costs it brings to an average church.
ProPresenter requires buying a license or subscription before the church can use it fully — a real barrier for congregations outside the US, where the price converts into local currency with taxes on top.
For smooth playback, ProPresenter expects a recent Mac or a powerful Windows PC, often with a dedicated GPU. Many churches end up budgeting a new computer along with the license.
ProPresenter is deep but complex: playlists, looks, props, macros. Training a rotating volunteer team takes weeks, and operating errors during the service are common in the first months.
The installation, media library and configuration live on one computer. If that machine fails on service day, the service has no projection until someone rebuilds the entire setup.

ProPresenter requires a paid license or subscription before a church can use it fully. Reuna has a permanent free plan and accessible paid plans with local pricing.
Installing ProPresenter means downloading a heavy file, configuring licenses and maintaining updates. With Reuna you open the browser and start; to project, the Mac and Windows app is free and updates itself. No per-machine licenses.
In Reuna, Pro and Church workspaces can scan a QR and open the remote control in the mobile browser without installing another app.
In ProPresenter, songs and media live on the projection machine. In Reuna, the library lives in the workspace: the worship director prepares the service from home and any volunteer projects it at church.
Interface, Bible tools and support in Spanish, with pricing designed for Latin American church budgets — a segment ProPresenter has never prioritized.
If the projection laptop dies mid-service, any other computer picks up exactly where it left off, in the browser or with the app. Everything lives in your account, not in a license installed on a single machine.
How much does ProPresenter cost compared to Reuna?
ProPresenter requires a paid license or subscription. Reuna has a permanent free plan and paid plans from $12/month, so a church can start without upfront software cost.
Does Reuna work on Mac and Windows like ProPresenter?
Yes, and it goes further: there's a free app for Mac and Windows, and it also works in any modern browser, so you can prepare the service from Linux, Chromebook or iPad too. ProPresenter is only available for Mac and Windows.
Can I migrate my ProPresenter presentations to Reuna?
You can enter your songs directly into Reuna or import them in text format. Full migration from .pro6/.pro7 files is a feature in development. Meanwhile, the support team can help you with the initial migration.
Does Reuna have stage display control like ProPresenter?
Yes. Reuna includes a stage monitor that shows the current slide, the next one and time — visible only to the technical team. It's configured on any secondary screen without additional cables.
What computer do I need to run Reuna instead of ProPresenter?
Any computer with a modern browser, or a Mac or Windows PC with Reuna's free app. ProPresenter recommends a recent Mac or a powerful Windows PC with a dedicated GPU for smooth playback. With Reuna even modest laptops work, and Chromebooks and TV sticks can serve as network projection screens.
Is Reuna available in Spanish, unlike ProPresenter?
Yes. Reuna is built Spanish-first: interface, Bible tools, templates and support are all in Spanish, with English also available. ProPresenter's interface, documentation and support are primarily in English.
