Everything your church needs

We built the platform we'd want to use ourselves.

📡

Auto-distribution

Upload once. We submit to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and more. No manual work for your team.

🎨

Church-branded players

Your logo, your colors, your domain. Listeners see your church — not SoundCloud ads.

🧭

Series organization

Group sermons by series, topic, or speaker. Listeners find last week's message in seconds.

📱

Mobile-optimized

67% of church visitors browse on phones. Our players look great everywhere — no tuning required.

No Easter crashes

CDN-distributed streaming handles traffic spikes. Your audio won't buffer when the whole congregation checks the app at once.

🙋

Real support

Email a team that understands ministry. Not a ticket queue for tech startups.

Download your files from SoundCloud, create a free iRadeo account, upload your sermons, and update your website embed code. Your Apple Podcasts listing stays intact — just update the feed URL. Most churches complete migration in under an hour.
