pricing and Payment Structure

If you are not a pastor or church staff member, you can tell your pastor about RightNow Media.

How much does RightNow Media cost?

The cost of RightNow Media depends on the size of your church or organisation. To find out how much RightNow Media is for your organisation, visit the Pricing page.

Is there a discount for paying annually?

Yes! If you choose to pay annually, you will receive a discount on your annual subscription (Please note that all payments are non-refundable).

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit card and PayPal for both monthly and annual payments. We can accept direct deposits (EFT) for annual payments only. While your invoice will reflect the amount due in ZAR (South African Rand), your card will be debited in USD.

Do you offer a free trial period?

While we do not offer a free trial, you can explore the entire library on our website and preview the trailers of our series here. For an in-depth look at the library and features, schedule a demo with our team.

What if we want to cancel our account?

To cancel your account, please provide 30 days’ notice to process your request. Please note that once payments are made, they are non-refundable. You can submit your cancellation request via email to your personal account consultant or to africa@rightnowmedia.org. Once you submit your request, our team will provide you with instructions on next steps.

Is there a minimum subscription period?

No, all we require is a 30-day notice of cancellation.

Why do you charge based on Sunday attendance and not library user?

As the library is typically used as a group or family resource, the number of users underestimates the broader impact of the library and the number of members consuming the resources and Bible study materials. To maintain pricing fairness to churches of all sizes, we offer tiered pricing.

We are a very small church. Can you provide a discount for smaller congregations?

We want to make the library accessible to all churches regardless of size. Schedule a demo with our team and we can discuss your specific needs.

How is my pricing affected as our church grows or declines in Sunday attendance?

We recognise that weekend attendance can fluctuate, which is why we offer significant flexibility in our pricing tiers. Throughout the year, your consultant will work with you to ensure engagement is maximised, and you can manually review your usage data at any time through your engagement portal. Usage data is updated quarterly and is reviewed with you annually. While prices may change based on your ministry’s size, we do not make pricing changes without informing you first.

How do we report church growth, and how often is our account reviewed for a price increase?

As we work closely with churches, we typically review library engagement and look for opportunities for growth at least once a year. We want to ensure RightNow Media is effectively helping in your discipleship efforts! Over the course of the conversation with your consultant, we will discuss (and celebrate!) your church growth and agree on a time frame to scale to the next pricing tier. This is an ongoing and relational process.
