SongSelect
“The licensing-backed catalog nearly every church already runs on, unmatched in breadth if modest in polish.”
SongSelect is CCLI's official catalog, and for most churches it is less a choice than a fixture. Because it is tied directly to the copyright license your church already needs to project lyrics legally, it sits at the center of worship planning almost by default. Its library is the deepest in the category, with lyrics, chord charts, lead sheets, vocal sheets, and transposition for a staggering number of songs, all under proper licensing coverage.
The value here is really about scope and legitimacy. When you need a chord chart or a lyric sheet for practically any worship song ever registered, SongSelect almost certainly has it, and it lets you transpose keys, view multiple arrangement formats, and export cleanly into ProPresenter, Planning Center, and stage tools like OnSong. Paired with your CCLI license, it keeps your church on the right side of copyright while covering the everyday need for charts and words.
Where it falls short is depth of craft. Its charts are functional rather than meticulously engraved the way PraiseCharts' are, it offers only limited audio and no real multitrack playback, and it is a web catalog rather than a polished live-performance app. Pricing is sold as an add-on to your CCLI license and scales with congregation size, with Basic tiers starting modestly and Premium climbing higher. It is the dependable backbone almost every team relies on, even if it rarely dazzles.
