That is the whole answer. Two plans, billed monthly, with a 14-day free trial and no setup fee. Below is what actually arrives each week, what separates the two plans, and what we do not do, so you can price this against the alternative you were already considering.
14-day free trial · month to month · no contract · cancel anytime
Both plans, month to month. No annual commitment, no setup fee.
Not ready to hand over a card? Read a real pack first. No signup, no email.
Setup fee. There is no onboarding charge, no implementation fee, and no minimum term.
Free trial on either plan. You see at least one real pack built from your own sermon inside it.
From Sunday to the pack in your hands, drafted and human-reviewed. Same window on both plans.
The longest you are ever committed. Cancel and the next charge does not happen.
One document, built from the sermon you already preached, read line by line by a person before it reaches you. Ten pieces, every week, on both plans.
Five moments worth clipping, each with the hook line, the on-screen text, and where the clip should start and stop so it does not cut a sentence in half.
Five captions, written the way your church writes, with hashtags kept lean and local instead of scattered.
A full reflection built on the claim the sermon actually made, with a prayer and one question worth sitting with.
Discussion questions tied to Sunday, in the shape a group leader can pick up and run on Wednesday without prep.
A drafted email that recaps the message and points people back to it, with your voice and your events in it.
The invitation for the coming week, written before the week you need it.
A short giving note matched to how your church already talks about generosity. No pressure language.
Written specs for quote cards, series slides, and event graphics: the copy, the crop, the emphasis. On Plus, the quote cards come rendered.
What is confirmed, what is flagged, and what was cut in review and why. This is where the human pass becomes visible.
The whole thing arranged for a single 20-minute sitting. You read, you flag, you approve, you post on your own schedule.
The part that is hard to put in a feature list: a person reads all of it before you do, next to the recording, with your voice profile and your doctrine boundaries open beside them. Anything that cannot be traced to what was preached is cut, not softened. Anything interpretive is flagged so your team knows where to look. That pass is the reason the review on your end is twenty minutes instead of an afternoon, and it is the whole reason this costs more than a $30 tool.
You can also just go read one. The sample pack is published exactly as a church receives it, reviewer notes and flags intact, with no signup in front of it.
Both plans get the same weekly pack, the same human review, and the same 48-hour window. Plus does two jobs your team would otherwise do by hand.
That is the entire difference. It is not a features-versus-more-features split, and there is nothing withheld from Starter to make Plus look better. The question is simply whether someone at your church is going to open a design tool on Tuesday and build the quote cards from the brief, and whether someone is going to lay out the email. If yes, Starter is the right plan and we would rather you paid $79. If that person does not exist, or exists and is already stretched, Plus does those two jobs and you post what arrives.
Either plan can switch to the other, in either direction. Write to us and we will move you.
Nobody decides this in a vacuum. The real question in the room is whether this is worth a line in a budget that is already tight, next to the other ways to solve the same problem.
The gold standard, because a person who sits in your services knows things no service can know. At roughly twelve times the price, for ten hours a week, if you can find and keep someone.
Based on ZipRecruiter's national average hourly rate for part-time social media help, at roughly ten hours a week.
Real production capacity and someone accountable, on a scope and a term.
$948 a year on Starter. The whole week, not just clips, checked by a person before it reaches you, on a stated rhythm, with no setup fee and nothing to sign. You still approve everything, and you still post it.
There are also tools that do a version of this for less, and we would rather say so on our own pricing page than let you find out later. What you buy at the higher price is the checking. The cheap tools generate; you edit. If your church has someone whose actual job includes reviewing and fixing content every week, that math may favor the cheaper tool, and you should use it. The churches this was built for mostly do not have that person, which is the entire reason the service exists.
A pricing page that only lists what you get is a sales page. These are the four things churches most often assume are included, and are not. Read them before the trial, not after.
Each clip plan names the moment, the hook, the on-screen text, and where to cut, so whoever edits your video has the thinking already done. What it does not include is the export. Somebody at your church still opens the editor and produces the file. If what you need is finished vertical video landing in a folder, we are not that, and there are tools that are.
We never connect to your accounts, and there is nothing to connect. The pack arrives, your team approves it, and your team publishes it on your own schedule. That is deliberate. You stay the publisher, and nothing goes out in your church's name that a person at your church did not read first.
On Starter, the design work arrives as a written spec: the copy, the crop, the emphasis, ready for your designer or your design tool. Plus adds rendered quote cards. Neither plan produces series artwork, event graphics, or a full brand system.
Nothing in a pack originates with us. Everything traces back to the message you preached, and if a line cannot be traced to the recording it gets cut rather than smoothed over. This carries Sunday into the week. It does not do Sunday.
"We would rather lose the sale on this page than have you find out in week three."
You pick a plan and start the trial. Your next Sunday gets built into a real pack, from your church's own sermon, reviewed the same way a paying church's pack is reviewed, and delivered inside 48 hours. You are not evaluating a demo. You are evaluating your own week.
Nothing is charged during the 14 days. If you cancel any time inside the 14 days, you are not billed at all. If you do nothing, the first monthly charge runs when the trial ends and the packs keep coming.
You are billed once a month, on the same date, at $79 or $99 depending on the plan. Card payments run through Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
There is no contract to sign, no minimum term, and no cancellation fee. Cancel and the next charge simply does not happen. You keep every pack we have already delivered, because it is your sermon and your content.
Write to hello@afterword.church and you get a reply from a person, not a ticket queue. That includes the awkward ones: a pack that missed your voice, a week you want credited, a plan you want to change, a cancellation. In a service whose whole claim is that a human checks the work, being reachable is part of the product, not a courtesy.
$79 a month for Starter, or $99 a month for Plus. Both are billed monthly, both include a 14-day free trial, and neither has a setup fee or a contract. Starter works out to $948 a year, Plus to $1,188.
Both plans include the full weekly content pack, the human review pass, design briefs, and the 48-hour turnaround. Plus adds two things: rendered quote-card graphics, so your team is not building them from the brief, and formatted email HTML you can paste straight into your email tool instead of a plain draft. Nothing else differs.
If you start from one of the plan buttons above, yes. Those go straight to Stripe, so a card is on file from the beginning and nothing is charged during the 14 days. If you would rather talk to a person first, use the form on the home page or write to us, and we will set the trial up from there. Either way, nothing is charged inside the 14 days.
The first monthly charge runs on day 15 and the weekly packs keep coming, on the same rhythm, at the plan price you chose. There is no separate onboarding fee at that point and no price change later without telling you.
Write to hello@afterword.church and it is done. No notice period, no cancellation fee, no exit call, no retention conversation you have to sit through. If you cancel during the 14-day trial, you are never billed. If you cancel later, you keep the packs already delivered and the next charge does not run.
No. Both plans are month to month. The longest you are ever committed is the month you are in. There is no setup fee, no implementation charge, and no annual lock-in.
Yes. Most church budgets are drafted in the fall, and we would rather be a line item you planned for than a surprise you had to justify. Start the trial whenever you like, or ask us for a one-line budget item to drop into the draft: $948 a year on Starter, $1,188 on Plus. We will still be here in January.
Yes, in either direction, and it takes an email.
Because of the checking. Cheaper tools generate the content and hand it to you, which means the editing job moves to your staff, every week, forever. We generate it and then a person reads every line against the recording before you see it, cuts anything that cannot be traced back, and flags anything interpretive. If your church has someone whose job genuinely includes fixing content every week, a cheaper tool may be the better buy, and we will say so.
No, and we never will. We deliver the pack, your team approves it, and your team posts it. We do not connect to your accounts and there is nothing to connect. You stay the publisher.
No. You get clip plans: the moment, the hook, the on-screen text, and the in and out points, so whoever edits your video already has the thinking done. Someone at your church still cuts and exports the file. We would rather be plain about that on the pricing page than have you discover it in week one.
Yes. The sample pack is published on the site with no signup and no email required, exactly as a church receives it, with the reviewer's notes and flags left in. It is the fastest way to know whether this is worth $79 to your church.
You should not have to hand over a card to find out what the work looks like. The sample pack is a complete weekly pack, published exactly as a church would receive it, with the reviewer notes, the interpretive flags, and the production notes still in it. No signup, no email, about ten minutes to read.
