There are a number of church presentation systems that integrate with planning center to get data, like ProPresenter, EasyWorship, etc. You'd need to get them to update their software to support your system as well. The easy way for you to do that is to clone the planning center API worts and all, which means you're probably just building a planning center clone.

churchapps.org is competing in this space with open source software and the price of free for their hosted versions. I don't know what their adoption rate is.

The switching costs are large in terms of time and effort for small churches. It's often one or two persons leading the charge to switch. They may not fully understand how every person interacts with the system, but they would need to set up the new system and do a trial run, likely in parallel with the existing system. Then train staff and volunteers how to use their part of the system.

Thanks for this feedback. I wasn't aware of churchapps.org. There's a fair bit of overlap both in terms of scope and intended tech stack. I'd be curious to know their adoption rate, too.
