Post-sermon content repurposingSermon Helper vs Pulpit AI
Pulpit AI is probably the best-known "sermon AI" brand. It is a post-sermon repurposing tool: you upload the recording or manuscript of a sermon you have already preached, and it turns that one sermon into a stack of content. It is now owned by Subsplash.
Every fact about Pulpit AI on this page was checked against their own public pages on July 24, 2026 — pulpitai.com/pricing · subsplash.com/product/pulpit-ai. Pricing and features change; check their site for the current details.
What Pulpit AI does well
Honestly — a real pastor built this, and it’s good at its job.
- Best-in-class at turning a recorded sermon into short social-video clips with editable captions — genuinely useful for churches that livestream and want reels ready quickly.
- Generates a broad content set from one upload: summaries and transcripts, small-group discussion guides, daily devotionals, blog posts, and newsletters, plus a "chat with your sermon" feature.
- Deep Subsplash integration for churches already on that platform, and a polished, well-supported product.
Where Sermon Helper is different
The whole tool begins where your sermon ends — it repurposes what you already preached. Sermon Helper begins on Tuesday: it helps you study and write the sermon in your own voice, follows the lectionary, and then produces the week’s materials, including a print-ready bulletin and liturgy that a clip tool does not attempt.

Which one is right for you?
Pick Pulpit AI if… If you already have a strong sermon-writing routine and mainly want your Sunday recording sliced into social clips and posts, a repurposing tool like Pulpit AI is a good fit.
Pick Sermon Helper if… If you want help writing the sermon in the first place — lectionary-aware, in your own voice — plus a real bulletin and the rest of the week’s materials, that is what Sermon Helper is for.
Sermon Helper is $19/mo (founding price, locked for life (reg. ~$39/mo)) with a 30-day free trial, no credit card. The easiest way to compare is to try it on your own sermons — there’s no card required.
Frequently asked
Is Sermon Helper the same as Pulpit AI?
No. Pulpit AI is a post-sermon repurposing tool — you give it a sermon you already preached and it makes clips, summaries, and posts. Sermon Helper helps you prepare and write the sermon first (following the lectionary and your own preaching voice), then produces the week’s materials, including a print bulletin. They solve different halves of the week.
Does Pulpit AI make church bulletins or follow the lectionary?
Based on their own product and pricing pages (checked 2026-07-24), Pulpit AI focuses on repurposing a recorded sermon into clips, devotionals, discussion guides, blog posts, and newsletters. It does not advertise a print bulletin/liturgy builder or Revised Common Lectionary planning. Sermon Helper is built around both.
How much does each one cost?
Pulpit AI’s pricing page lists a Basic plan at $39/month for 5 sermon uploads, with higher tiers for more uploads and 10% off annually. Sermon Helper is $19/month as a founding rate locked for life (regularly about $39), with a 30-day free trial and no credit card to start.
