Post-sermon video clips + contentSermon Helper vs SermonShots
SermonShots is a done-for-you sermon-video tool: you upload Sunday’s service video and it produces short clips, a transcript, and (on higher tiers) written content. Like Pulpit AI it works on the sermon after it is preached.

What SermonShots does well
Honestly — a real pastor built this, and it’s good at its job.
- A strong short-form video-clip pipeline for churches posting reels and shorts — clips are created for you, not just enabled.
- A genuinely free tier (2 clips, no credit card) so you can see the quality before paying, plus a 14-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee on paid plans.
- Higher tiers add transcription, podcast audio, shareable sermon pages, discussion guides, summaries, a blog-post generator, and quote images.
Where Sermon Helper is different
SermonShots is video-first and post-sermon. Sermon Helper is prep-first and print-first: it follows the lectionary, helps you write in your own voice, and produces the bulletin, liturgy, hymns, and children’s material for mainline worship rather than social-video clips.

Frequently asked
Is SermonShots a competitor to Sermon Helper?
They overlap only a little. SermonShots turns a recorded sermon into short video clips and some written content after Sunday. Sermon Helper helps you prepare and write the sermon before Sunday — following the lectionary and your own voice — and produces the bulletin, hymns, children’s moment, and study for the week. A church could reasonably use a clip tool and Sermon Helper for different jobs.
Does SermonShots do sermon prep, bulletins, or hymns?
Per their pricing page (checked 2026-07-24), SermonShots focuses on clips, transcription, podcast audio, shareable sermon pages, discussion guides, summaries, a blog-post generator, and quote images — all from a recorded sermon. It does not advertise sermon-writing help, a print bulletin, liturgy, or hymn selection. Sermon Helper is built around those.
What do they cost?
SermonShots has a free 2-clip tier; paid plans are Plus at $49.99/month ($39.99/month billed yearly) and Silver Suite at $67/month ($57/month billed yearly). Sermon Helper is $19/month as a founding rate locked for life, with a 30-day free trial and no card.
