Sunflower AI and Voclyn, side by side.

We make Voclyn. Facts about Sunflower AI come from its own pages, checked on 30 October 2026 (its test and its llms.txt on 29 October).

Each company counts languages its own way, so compare the ones your church needs rather than the totals.

Sunflower AI shows Bible verses from published translations too. Its Bible versions page says that when a speaker reads a passage, it displays the verses from published Bibles in the language the audience sees. It lists 25 of them, public domain or openly licensed: among them the Berean Standard Bible, the Chinese Union Version (和合本) for Simplified, Traditional and Cantonese readers, the Korean Bible of 1911, the Reina-Valera 1909, the Almeida of 1911 for Portuguese and the Old Persian Version of 1895.

Voclyn’s Scripture lock does that for readers in five languages. When the pastor names a passage, in English, Spanish, Korean or Chinese, and reads it, readers see it from the Bible their church chose: the BSB or KJV, the Reina-Valera 1909, 개역한글, or 和合本 in its 神 or 上帝 edition. Each card says “Published text · not AI”, on phones and the big screen, and the voice reads the verse. Readers in other languages get the reading translated and labelled AI. About Scripture lock.

Both companies also publish how they measure. Sunflower has published a test of its verse display with the method beside it: a chapter read in English into Simplified Chinese, with the display on and then off, timed from the speaker’s first words to the first Chinese on the audience’s screen. Our timings, method and raw data are on our quality page. We haven’t tested Sunflower, so we don’t compare the two.

Sunflower AI meters three things: hours, rooms and languages. Basic is $90 a month for 7.5 hours in one room, into 5 of its 83 languages. Pro is $200 a month for 30 hours, two rooms at once and 10 languages, and each extra room is $400, once. Each hour past a plan’s quota is $40, and Enterprise starts at $500 per room, per day. Paying yearly saves 17%. The page doesn’t say which currency its dollars are, so check before you compare.

At 90 minutes a service, Basic’s 7.5 hours cover 5 services a month, and Pro’s 30 hours cover 20.

Voclyn doesn’t meter translation by the hour or the language: Free, then $69, $99 or $249 a month (C$99, C$139, C$349), with unlimited translation hours under fair use and captions in every language your people choose. Each room has its own link and QR code, and Chapel, Church and Campus can have 1, 2 or 5 live at once. The AI voice isn’t metered either: paid plans include it in each of your languages it speaks. See the plans.

• No hour meter on translation. Paid plans have unlimited translation hours (fair use), with captions in every language your people choose, so a midweek Bible study or a long service doesn’t change the price.
• A free plan after the trial. Every church starts with 30 days of the Church plan free, no card. After that, Free keeps translating 6 hours a month into one language plus your main language, with no time limit, and the QR code keeps working.
• Made for a service. The desk goes live with a hold and rests with one tap while the church sings (lyrics aren’t translated), and a private moment hides captions on every phone, with nothing saved.
• Your church’s words. Sunflower takes custom vocabulary too. Voclyn’s glossary teaches both the speech engine and the translator your pastors’ names and your church’s words. Your church chooses 神 or 上帝, 하나님 or 하느님, culto or Misa, starting from a pack for its tradition, and a fix in Monday’s transcript is used from the next service. About the glossary.

• Bible verses in more languages. Its list has 25 published translations, from Portuguese and Indonesian to Persian. Voclyn shows a published Bible to readers in five languages; readers in others get the reading translated and labelled AI.
• Scripts and documents. Plans include uploaded scripts as well as custom vocabulary, and translated documents: 5 a month on Basic, 10 on Pro. Voclyn translates what is said at the front.
• A discount for church plants. A church planted within the last five years gets 50% off its first year.
• Data kept in Australia. Sunflower’s llms.txt has a data-residency note naming Microsoft Azure in Sydney, which may matter to Australian churches. Voclyn is made in Canada, and some of its providers store or process information in the United States.
• Help for big events. Enterprise adds unlimited session length, rooms in parallel, a dedicated account manager, priority set-up and live support, and invoices. Voclyn answers by email, with a person on Sunday mornings from 7:00 to 13:00 Vancouver time.

Choose Sunflower AI if your readers need Bible verses in a language beyond Voclyn’s five, such as Portuguese, Indonesian or Persian, you want to upload scripts or translate documents, you are a church plant, or you want your data kept in Australia.

Choose Voclyn if you translate more hours a month than a plan includes, or into more languages than it allows, you want a free plan after the trial, or you want your church’s words set once from a pack for your tradition. Try it with your voice.
