Churches pay $5 an hour for an AI that translates the sermon live.

The idea: Real-time AI sermon translation for churches

Glossa.live streams a live translation of a church service into 100+ languages straight to people's phones, priced at $5 an hour. It was founded in 2025 and already has verified revenue in the six figures. Churches with immigrant members turn out to be an underserved, loyal customer base.

Payment-verified figures come from TrustMRR, which reads revenue from the business's payment provider. Founder and press figures are claims we found on the linked page and haven't audited. How we check.

Who pays

Churches, ministries and Christian conferences with multilingual congregations.

How it makes money

Per-hour usage or monthly plans.

How to start your own

  1. Visit 5 local churches with multilingual members and offer a free month.
  2. Make setup dead simple: a QR code on the screen and audio from the soundboard.
  3. Price per hour so small churches can say yes.

The catch

Live accuracy has to hold up for theology and names, and Sunday-morning reliability is non-negotiable.
