MyOpenDoor Translate vs. Wordly, Glossa & OneAccord for churches

If you’re comparing live translation services for your church, you’ve probably found the same four names on this page — including us. Below is the full feature-by-feature comparison: everything MyOpenDoor Translate does, set next to what Wordly, Glossa, and OneAccord publish on their own websites as of July 2026. Every competitor cell comes from that company’s own public site, quoted as published. Where a provider doesn’t publish something, the table says not published — that means the feature doesn’t appear on their public pages, not that they can’t do it. We don’t guess, and we don’t invent claims about anyone.

The short version

All four services solve the same core problem the same modern way: the preacher’s voice feeds an AI translation engine, and guests follow along on their own phones — no receivers, no headsets to hand out, no app to install. The differences are everything around that: how many languages, what the engine does to protect the sermon’s exact words, what your guests see on their screens, what happens after the service ends, and whether you can price it without a sales call. That’s what the table below covers, row by row.

The full comparison

Every competitor cell is taken from wordly.ai, glossa.live, or oneaccord.ai as published in July 2026 (re-verified 19 July 2026). “Not published on their site” means exactly that — the feature doesn’t appear on their public pages; it is not a claim about what they can or can’t do. If anything here has changed on their sites, tell us and we’ll correct it.

What the table means for a Sunday morning

Rows on a comparison table are abstract until you picture the service. Here is what the rows only we publish look like in the room:

• The widest language coverage published in this market. Live captions in 190+ languages and natural spoken voice in 60+ — nearly double the next-highest published count. If your congregation includes languages outside the usual top twenty, this is the difference between “covered” and “not covered.” New languages can typically be added within a couple of days.
• An engine that never paraphrases. Our proprietary MODVOICE engine was built for live preaching: a sentence the recognizer split in half gets rejoined, filler words are cleaned up, and the engine never finishes the speaker’s sentence for them. The words your guests receive are the preacher’s words — that’s the integrity rule the whole engine is built around, and none of the other three publish an equivalent commitment.
• The service doesn’t end at the benediction. After every service, the Sermon Notes Hub auto-generates a full translated notes page — scriptures, summaries, memorable quotes — in the languages you pick. During the service, announcements rotate on the lobby display in multiple languages at once. None of the other three publish anything like it.
• Guests can respond, not just understand. Decision and altar-call cards, connection cards, polls, and RSVPs — one tap from the booth puts the card on every phone in the room, each in that listener’s own language. This is the row we’d ask you to weigh most heavily, because it changes what translation is for: not just following the sermon, but responding to it.
• The screen belongs to your church. Every listener’s screen carries your church’s name, logo, and colors — a guest’s first impression is your church welcoming them, not a vendor’s app. And a gold word-by-word highlight follows the voice as it speaks, so readers and listeners stay on the same word together.
• Everything published, every plan complete. Our pricing page shows every tier, every number: $149/month entry, $0 setup, $25/hr overage, a 15% nonprofit discount on Starter and Congregation, and every feature included on every plan — no feature gating, booth seats included. You can price your church without talking to anyone.

The bottom line

Any of these four will get translated words onto your guests’ phones on Sunday. Only one was built around the whole arc of a church service — welcome, sermon, response, follow-up — and publishes every price, every cap, and every feature so you can verify all of it before you ever talk to a person. Don’t take our word for the table above: check every cell against each provider’s own site, then check ours. And the best way to decide is the same for any service on this page — run a real one. Ours is free for a weekend, no card required.
