Prepser vs Preach: Sermon Builder: recording, notes and price
Prepser is our product. Facts about Preach come from its own public pages, linked in the table. Checked November 11, 2026. If something has changed, email support@prepser.com and we'll correct it.
Preach: Sermon Builder is an iPhone and iPad app where, in its App Store listing's words, you "Start with a big idea, scripture, or topic" and build the message step by step. Prepser is an app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch built as an AI second brain for pastors. It records the sermon you preach, turns it into notes for the week, keeps every sermon and note in one library you can chat with, and drafts the next sermon from your own preaching.
What Prepser does that Preach does not
- Records the sermon you preach. On Home, tap Record a sermon, put the phone on the pulpit, and Prepser transcribes live on the device while you preach. Recording or transcribing a sermon isn't listed on Preach's App Store page; its version history mentions a Bible reading voice over.
- Builds the week's notes from what you preached. From the recording and a Sunday Message prep built on it, Prepser writes an outline, key points, Scripture, prayer points, social posts, a newsletter and small group questions. Preach's version history lists small group discussion questions; posts, a newsletter and prayer points aren't listed.
- Reviews your invitation. A Sunday Message prep in Prepser includes a review of your call to response. Nothing like it is listed for Preach.
- Answers from your whole library. Prepser's AI Chat works across every sermon, scan, thought and prep you have saved, and shows the notes it used. Preach's listing says it keeps "sermon notes, verses, and insights in one secure place"; AI chat across them isn't listed.
- Drafts from your own notes. Prepser's Draft a sermon can build on the notes and preps already in your library and lists the ones it used. Preach's version history mentions generated sermons; drafting from your own past sermons and notes isn't listed.
- Captures the week and imports what you already have. Speak a thought in the car, scan a page from your study Bible, or upload audio (M4A, MP3, WAV), a PDF or a Word file. Voice notes, page scans and file import aren't listed for Preach.
- Says what the free plan includes. Prepser's Free plan has a published monthly allowance. Preach is free to download with in-app purchases in five named tiers; the listing doesn't say what the free version or each tier includes.

Building a message before Sunday, or starting from the one you preached
Preach's App Store listing describes a sermon builder: start from a big idea, a passage or a topic, follow "proven sermon formats or create your own custom flow", save Bible verses, and keep your sermon notes in one place. Its version history adds generated sermons with a slideshow builder, a sermon series generator and small group discussion questions. The work it describes happens before you preach.
Prepser holds the work around the sermon, before and after Sunday. During the week it keeps your study: thoughts you speak into the phone, pages you scan, preps for Sunday, Bible study and small group. On Sunday, tap Record a sermon on Home before you step up, put the phone on the pulpit, and the transcript builds while you preach. After the service, open a Sunday Message prep, tap Edit next to the linked notes to add the recording, and tap Generate Sermon Artifacts: outline, key points, Scripture, prayer points, posts, newsletter, small group questions and the invitation review, all from what you actually said, not from what you planned to say.
Already preached something you never recorded in Prepser? Tap Import a sermon on Home and bring in the audio, or paste the text. Under Build from a sermon on Home, rows such as Small-group questions ask you to Choose a sermon and open AI Chat on it, so last year's series can feed this year's group.
Drafting the next sermon from your own preaching
In Prepser, AI Chat has a Draft a sermon button: give it a passage or topic, pick the audience, length and format, and leave Draw on my notes and preps on. The draft builds on what you have already preached and studied, so it sounds like you, and it lists the notes it used so you can open them and check. It is a first draft: you study it, cut it and preach your own message. Complete examples are on our sermon pages.
If you would rather shape the structure first, tap Study a passage on Home for context, key words and cross-references, then Outline a sermon from this. Outlines stay in your library next to the recordings and notes they came from; more on that on the sermon outline builder page.
One library you can ask
Every sermon you record or import stays in your Prepser library next to your notes and preps, and AI Chat answers from all of it: what you preached on forgiveness last year, which illustrations you have used for grace, where your series on Romans went. Each answer lists the notes it used, so you can open them and check. The longer you use Prepser, the more of your own preaching each answer and each draft can draw on.
Preach's listing describes keeping sermon notes, verses and insights synced in one place. Asking questions across that history isn't among the features it lists.
Pricing
Prepser Pro is $8.99 a month or $74.99 a year, with no limit on the number of sermons. The Free plan includes 30 AI chat messages, 3 sermon drafts, 3 prep generations and 3 study notes a month, and capturing sermons and notes is free. Prepser Pro is a personal subscription billed by Apple. Details on our pricing page.
Preach is a free download. Its App Store listing shows in-app purchases named Ambassador ($9.99 a month or $99.99 a year), Keeper ($19.99 or $199.99), Builder ($49.99 or $499.99), Church ($99.99 or $999.99) and Partner ($4.99 a month), plus a $14.99 donation. The listing doesn't describe what each of them includes or what stays free.
What Prepser doesn't do
Prepser isn't a Bible study library: it has no commentaries, lexicons or original-language tools. It keeps your own sermons and notes and works from them.
Frequently asked
Is Prepser an alternative to the Preach app?
Yes, if you want your preaching to stay in one place and keep working for you. Prepser records the sermon you preach, builds the week's notes from it and answers questions across every sermon and note you have saved. Preach's App Store listing describes building a message from an idea, passage or topic; recording, transcription and chat across your library aren't listed there.
Will Prepser write my sermon for me?
Prepser writes a first draft, not your sermon. Draft a sermon turns a passage, topic, audience, length and format into a draft that builds on your own notes and preps and lists the ones it used. You study it, cut it, add your own illustrations and preach your own message. The sermon stays yours.
Can I bring sermons I built in another app into Prepser?
Yes. Paste the text, or upload a PDF or Word (DOCX) file, and it joins your library. Audio of sermons you have already preached imports too: Prepser transcribes it in a few minutes, and a Sunday Message prep built on it gets the full set of notes. Everything in the library is then available to AI Chat and Draft a sermon.
Does Prepser use my sermons to train AI?
No. Your recordings and notes are never used to train AI models and never sold. Transcription and generation are processed by OpenAI and AssemblyAI on our behalf, and you can delete your account and everything in it from Settings in the app. The details are in our Privacy Policy.
