Upfront honesty
I'm the founder of SermonPush. So obviously I think SermonPush is the better fit for most churches. But the honest answer is more nuanced than that, and Pulpit AI is a legitimate tool with strengths SermonPush doesn't have.
This article will help you figure out which one is the better fit for your specific church.
What both tools do
Both Pulpit AI and SermonPush take a sermon and generate content from it. Both save your communications team significant time. Both produce content you can actually use.
That's where the similarities end.
What Pulpit AI does well
Vertical video clips with speaker tracking.
This is Pulpit AI's strongest feature. They generate vertical video clips from your sermon video and use computer vision to keep the pastor in frame as they move around. For churches that prioritize Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, this is genuinely useful.
Subsplash integration.
Pulpit AI was acquired by Subsplash in late 2024. If your church already uses Subsplash for your app, website, or media, the integration is tight.
More content pieces (technically).
Pulpit AI advertises 20+ content pieces. Some of these are slight variations (multiple social caption styles, multiple clip lengths, etc.) rather than fundamentally different content types.
What SermonPush does well
Voice and tone customization.
SermonPush asks you what your church's voice sounds like (warm, casual, direct, traditional, energetic) and writes everything in that voice. The blog post sounds like your pastor, not like a generic AI.
Series memory.
If you're preaching through a sermon series, SermonPush remembers what's already been preached and builds on it. The blog post for week 4 references themes from weeks 1, 2, and 3 instead of treating each sermon as standalone.
Family-focused content.
SermonPush generates a "Family Guide" specifically for the dinner table. Kid-friendly questions, adult-level questions, memory verses, and prayer prompts. We haven't seen this in other tools.
Discussion questions that stay in the text.
SermonPush generates small group questions that stay anchored in the passage that was preached. Not generic Bible questions. Not questions from adjacent passages. The actual text, going deeper.
Price.
SermonPush starts at $29/mo. Pulpit AI starts at $39/mo. The Growth plan ($59/mo) at SermonPush is comparable to Pulpit AI's middle tier ($59/mo) but includes features Pulpit AI doesn't (series memory, voice customization).
What Pulpit AI doesn't do
- Write content in your church's specific voice
- Remember previous sermons in a series
- Generate family devotionals
- Generate quote graphics with custom branding per series
What SermonPush doesn't do (yet)
- Generate vertical video clips with speaker tracking
- Integrate directly with Subsplash, Planning Center, etc.
The video clip feature is a real gap. We're focused on the written and visual content side, not video processing. If video clips are your top priority, Pulpit AI is the better fit.
How to decide
Choose Pulpit AI if:
- Vertical video clips are your top priority
- You're already on Subsplash and want integration
- You film all your sermons in high quality and want them auto-clipped
Choose SermonPush if:
- You want content in your church's actual voice
- You preach through sermon series and want continuity
- You care about family discipleship resources
- You want strong small group discussion questions
- You want lower pricing
- Video clips are less important than written content
The bigger philosophical difference
Pulpit AI emphasizes clips. Quick, scrollable, algorithm-friendly content. That has real value, especially for reach.
SermonPush emphasizes carrying the full message forward. Less hype, more depth. The blog post, the discussion questions, the family guide, the email recap. Content that helps your sermon keep preaching all week long, in formats your people actually consume.
Both approaches are valid. Most churches benefit from doing both. But if you have to pick one tool to start with, the question is: do you want short-form clips, or do you want to extend the full message of Sunday into the week?
