Software tools and training videos that help churches recruit, train, and retain their volunteer teams. MxU exists to see church teams steward their volunteers well, with intentional tools for leadership that inspire excellence. --- Team Management Feeling like the bottleneck? Team Management gives you the tools you need to lead your team from a high level, allowing for growth and progress that goes beyond you. User activity metrics will give you greater awareness of how to best lead your team and ultimately retain them for the long-haul. Delegate team management in MxU to other leaders on your team to ensure recruitment, training, and retaining initiatives stay on track. MxU Training There’s always more to learn when it comes to executing live production in the church. That’s why we’ve created a never-ending library of training videos, designed for all who want to pursue a new standard of excellence in audio, video, and lighting. 101, 201, and 301 level training — there are no pre-qualifications for learning in MxU. Custom Content Want to take a more catered approach to training your team? Upload your own training content to MxU and integrate with all the powerful features the platform has to offer. Use your content alongside MxU Training to build unique Onboarding, Courses, and Assignments for your team. Record, deploy, and track custom training content for your team, all simply done from your smartphone. Courses A guided learning experience through MxU Training. Learn complex topics over time through a series of related MxU Training videos and Custom Content. Start from our templates or build your own courses from scratch to create a custom learning path for your team. Assignments Stop wondering if your team is learning the right things. With Assignments, you can create custom learning paths for individuals, groups, or all members of your team. Progress metrics give you the latest info on which members of your team are leveling up their skills through MxU. We’ll tee up a “nudge” notification from you to send off when someone on your team appears to be falling behind in their training. MxU will suggest pre-built assignments for you to send to specific team members who might need help re-engaging in training. Onboarding Are you tired of losing potential volunteers before they even start? With Onboarding, you can finally streamline your recruitment process. No more missed follow-ups, forgotten text messages, nobody falls through the cracks. You never have to wonder what the next step is for a new volunteer wanting to get involved on your team. Use customized interactions like sending an Assignment to ensure team members always know their next step. Gain new team members from a simple QR code; added to walk-in slides, printed materials, etc. MxU Community Stop leading alone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VIVE Conferences at none against MxU's 1. VIVE Conferences also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). MxU's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
