Software profile
BoxCast
Partially verifiedA US livestreaming platform for churches and other organisations, with website embedding, social distribution, scheduling and video hosting.
The short version
A fit worth testing against your real workflow.
BoxCast is worth trialling when livestreaming has become a regular ministry service rather than an occasional social broadcast. The useful comparison is not simply monthly price: test it with the church’s real encoder, internet connection, volunteers and destinations before relying on it for Sundays.
Directory assessment
BoxCast is a specialist streaming option for a church that has moved beyond an informal social-stream workflow. Its public US pricing and 14-day trial make it practical to evaluate, but UK contracting, support fit and the complete production setup need direct confirmation.

What does the supplier currently publish?
Pricing and trial
BoxCast’s published Standard plan is US$109 per month when billed annually, or US$119 monthly. Hardware, storage and plan suitability should be checked directly, including UK availability.
| Tier or starting point | Published price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | US$109/month annually or US$119 monthly | Publishes 1080p streaming, scheduling, 90-day archive storage and seven-day support |
Free trial: Yes — BoxCast advertises a 14-day Standard trial without a card. Its published subscription terms also describe an annual commitment and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What does a church gain beyond going live directly to a social network?
Dedicated distribution and archive
BoxCast combines a website player, social distribution, scheduling, archive storage and viewing analytics. That can give the church a clearer home for its service than relying only on a social feed.
The right question is whether those features solve a real operating issue. A small team that mainly needs a simple YouTube stream may not need a separate platform, while a team needing a managed website destination and regular archive may value it.
What does external feedback add?
What public reviews and peer discussion do — and do not — show
This profile does not assign an independent review score. The assessment is based on BoxCast’s public Standard pricing and its house-of-worship product information.
- The published trial supports a practical reliability test.
- Costs need to be considered alongside the production equipment and operating workload.
Supplier material describes product capabilities and US commercial terms; it does not establish suitability or availability for every UK church.
