Ekko
Australia
What it is
Ekko is a faith-based engagement and discipleship platform for churches, conferences, ministries, and organisations. Ministries can offer fully branded apps through the App Store and Google Play, or choose co-branded and Ekko-branded options. Groups, prayer, messages, content, events, and courses support engagement between broadcasts. Teaching tools include AI-generated sermon highlights, study guides, and discussion questions, with pastor review and approval plus engagement tracking. Conference features listed include HD live streaming, automatic recording, DVR, on-demand replays, and automatically generated highlight clips. Ekko includes a free personal app and a free trial, although no trial duration is stated. Ministry pricing is quote-based according to audience size, selected features, and branding level. The service operates under Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles. Sensitive information is collected and used only with consent, spiritual health data is shared with leaders only after opt-in, and personal information is not sold. AI tools are restricted to users aged 18 or older.
