Project manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A must have Texting Service" March 24, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been great—I truly love the system! It’s been incredibly helpful in streamlining communication and keeping everything organized in one place. The features are user-friendly, and once everything is set up, it really allows things to run smoothly and efficiently. Pros What I truly appreciate about Clearstream is the ability to build out structured workflows that allow communication to flow seamlessly and automatically. Instead of having to manually send out messages or follow up with individuals one by one, I can set up a system where the right information is delivered at the right time without constant oversight. Cons While I really appreciate the ability to create workflows and automate communication in Clearstream, it wasn’t as customizable as I initially expected. I was hoping for more flexibility in how workflows could be structured and tailored to fit specific needs, but I found some limitations in the customization options. Switched from [Givebutter](https://www.capterra.com/p/172048/Givebutter/) We wanted a system that provided more functionality. Review Source Response from Clearstream April 16, 2026 Hey Esi, thanks so much for your review! Glad to hear Clearstream has been a good fit for your church. We'd love to hear your feedback on how we can make workflows more customizable. Just reach out to us via the chat in your account if you'd like to share your thoughts! JW Jeff W. Technology Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Moved from another service, and glad I did" April 29, 2026 4.0 It’s been great. There’s always a helpful person waiting to answer my questions, and they were invaluable in helping me through the startup process. Pros We replaced another service with Clearstream. Our old service offered only mass-texting, but for the same price we were able to add a web presence and support for tap tags. Cons I don’t really like that the limited number of messaging credits expire and are replenished monthly. I’d rather get a fixed number of credits, and purchase more when I use them Up. Alternatives considered [Tap Tag](https://www.capterra.com/p/10020764/Tap-Tag/)[Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Reason for choosing Clearstream It seemed like a fully-integrated and easy to set-up solution. The microsite is a very good fit for our needs, although I wish Notes would support html tags, and not just hyperlinks. Switched from [PastorsLine](https://www.capterra.com/p/156080/PastorsLine/) On two occasions, when I had a critical need to send a text out to the congregation, I signed in only to find my account disabled. Once was because the credit card had expired (even though no payment was due) and another was when they decided to do a features update, and decided the best way to implement it was to force everybody onto a new platform. It just seemed like they were really disconnected from the real needs of people using their system. Review Source Response from Clearstream May 26, 2026 Hi Jeff, thanks for the review! If you haven't already, feel free to share your feedback about HTML tags with our support team via the live chat in your account. We'd love to hear any thoughts you have! BA Barbara A. Church Clerk Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Texting page" March 10, 2026 3.0 I would have given it a 4 but it is not letting me do what I want to do. Which is to have open feedback from the members in one text. Also, you can't attach pics from your phone to the text group. Pros What I like most about Clearstream is I am able to add all our members phone numbers to send one group message. Cons That members cannot text back to the group. When a text goes out from the administrator the members are not able to respond. Review Source Response from Clearstream March 18, 2026 Hi Barbara, thanks for leaving us a review. Members who receive your texts can respond back, but their responses will go only to you and your Clearstream users. There won't be group threads where members all see each other's replies. We built it this way specifically to avoid the large group threads, but I can definitely see a need for that as well! Our team is working on adding picture messaging to our mobile app, so stay tuned! TD Tyler D. Creative Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A gamechanger for a great price" June 23, 2026 5.0 Overall we are incredibly satisfied with Clearstream. We've seen an increase in guest next steps and follow-up with the use of Tap Tags, and Text Keywords. It's been a great addition to our tech stack and we hope to use it for years to come to help us spread the Gospel. Pros Clearstream has been a gamechanger for communication at our church. It has allowed us to simplify our systems and unify them into a single communication platform for both E-Mail, Text, and Tap Tags. The price is great as well. For the same price that we were paying another company, we were able to get more value from Clearstream. Cons Clearstream has a lot of customization options, but it is lacking a few that I would really like. The biggest is not being able to edit their digital connect card, and also not being able to edit sign-up forms to make them match brand customization. I also find that the Planning Center integration is a bit lacking, but it does seem that they are working on adding more features. I wish I had the option to hold an automated workflow until someone filled out a PCO form, or entered a certain step in a PCO workflow, and then continue them on from there. I also wish there were a way to make it so that if someone fills out a form, or answers yes to a specific field in PCO, they get added to a list in Clearstream for messaging. I was able to make this with a custom integration, but it would be nice if it was just a feature with the default PCO integration. Switched from [Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/) We wanted to add SMS Messaging and could get a clearstream account for the same price as what we were paying Constant Contact Review Source LM Laura M. Data Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing service for church communication" April 16, 2026 5.0 Clearstream has been phenomenal. Great features, great customer service, and high quality products. Very grateful to have this company for our communication needs! Pros Clearstream has made mass communication incredibly easy for our church. The monthly cost is affordable and gives us access to all the tools we need. We absolute love the tap tags as well! Data tracking was an issue for us, but Clearstream’s data tracking has given us such helpful information about our communication processes. Specifically, the mass email feature and its link tracking, unsubscribed report, etc. Data tracking is SO convenient. Cons The pricing breakdown of text credits was not the most upfront. We were excited to use images, links, emojis, etc for our mass texts, but the cost to include those things in a mass message was more than we expected. Still a great option to have. If a chart is not already published somewhere, that would be a helpful addition to the price breakdown. Alternatives considered [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Pricing was better for the offered features Switched from [Planning Center](https://www.capterra.com/p/76708/Planning-Center/) We still use Planning Center for our overall church management, but the communication capabilities were too fragmented, data not as helpful. Clearstream has been a pivotal integration for us. Review Source Response from Clearstream May 26, 2026 Hi Laura. Thanks so much for your review! I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed using Clearstream so far. I've passed along your feedback about text credits - apologies for any confusion there. As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We'd love to help! :) LW Leila W. Communications Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Positive benefits of using Clearstream" June 23, 2026 5.0 Overall, we are pleased with the experience so far. We are going to be developing keywords and encouraging responses from our congregation through the use of the QR code feature. We look forward to seeing what kind of response this effort will get. Pros We are still new to Clearstream, but so far we love the ease of use in creating text threads for our members. Given that we have a dedicated church phone number within Clearstream, we have been able to text individuals from our community with benevolence ministry information, which is preferable to using personal mobile phones. We also like the email feature and have found that many of our deliverability problems have been resolved by using Clearstream. Cons One of our ministry groups reported that they are disappointed by the group text options. They want members to be able to read and respond to one another in the common thread, but they have found the responses only come to the generator of the text. Alternatives considered [WhatsApp](https://www.capterra.com/p/180345/WhatsApp/)[Pushpay](https://www.capterra.com/p/142580/Pushpay/) Reason for choosing Clearstream The other products we considered did not offer the extent of functionality with text (Pushpay) or the security (WhatsApp) we wanted. Review Source Response from Clearstream July 13, 2026 Hi Leila, thank you for your review! I'm happy to hear Clearstream has been helpful for your church so far!

Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to Use Service that has Enhanced Ministry Communication" July 20, 2026 5.0 Overall, we have had a great experience with Clearstream. The integration with Planning Center has also been a bonus, and their customer service has been excellent. Pros Clearstream provides an amazing communication platform for churches. They were responsive to questions and resolved issues quickly. The tap tags and text keywords are easy to use. We have connected with guests more quickly and communicated key information to our church family easily. It is a great value for the cost of the service. Cons I have not really experienced anything negative about Clearstream. The main challenge was the lead time with which custom tap tags need to be ordered. 3-5 weeks were on the website, but the response time was closer to 7 weeks. Alternatives considered [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Price and custom tap tags were a big reason we selected Clearstream. Review Source Jonas L. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Clearstream is the real deal" March 3, 2026 5.0 It's been great to work with Clearstream! Customer support team is easy to communicate with. Product works exactly as I expected it to. Would 100% recommend. Pros Clearstream is simple and easy to use. Their customer support is unbeatable. Integrates seamlessly with our church management system. It's been a great communication tool for keeping our church informed and up to date. Cons To be honest, I have yet to find anything that I don't like about Clearstream. If anything, I wish short codes were still a thing, but from what I understand, that's a legal issue, not an issue with Clearstream. Alternatives considered [Planning Center](https://www.capterra.com/p/76708/Planning-Center/)[Gloo](https://www.capterra.com/p/230260/Gloo/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Had some familiarity with Clearstream from a previous church. They also offered an introductory incentive to us as a church plant, so that really pushed us toward Clearstream. Review Source Response from Clearstream April 16, 2026 Hey Jonas, thanks for your review! We're so glad to hear you've been enjoying using Clearstream and that it's been a good fit for your church. We do still offer short codes as well! If you're interested, just reach out to our support team. We'd love to chat with you!

Communications Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Can't recommend it enough!" July 27, 2026 5.0 Overall it's been great! I'm glad we decided to switch to Clearstream. It's been a clear winner in my book! Pros We love the ease of everything! We have our weekly emails, our prayer chain emails, and texts all in one place. It's so easy to use. We love how it connects to planning center and it is a much better value for the money than we were paying for mail chimp. I had questions on a texting workflow and customer support was super helpful! We are hoping to get tap tags in the future also! Cons I wish all the options were on a clear menu. Like making a QR code. You have to search for it or it doesn't come up. Honestly that's my only complaint. Review Source TE Teri E. Admin Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Overall satisfies" July 29, 2025 4.0 Clearstream is currently meeting the need of our prayer chain at church. We often have messages for prayer requests and then we can post updates as well. I would like to expand the usage from just our prayer chain to other ministries but we have been using it for 3 months and each month I have had to change my plan to the next level due to my usage. I will have to see how we do over the next few months as the next level is a significant jump in cost. I am still evaluating. Overall I am satisfied with the product but want to be a good steward of the church financial resources. Pros Easy of use. Customer support has been awesome and adding members is very simple. Even upgrading my plan as the need arises has been simple. Cons The small number of characters allowed in a text. We use Clearstream as a prayer chain and it is often difficult to get the message in one text and uses additional credits if you go over just by one character. Cost is also a factor since I came from a free product, however the cost is not prohibitive at this point. I have had to upgrade the plan each month and hopeful that we have found the correct plan for our use now. I am not sure about adding other ministries due to the additional cost of communicating in this way. I am still in the evaluating process. Switched from [ParentSquare](https://www.capterra.com/p/198436/ParentSquare/) It is meant for schools and they removed the option of other users. Review Source BR Brian R. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable two-way communication " March 25, 2026 5.0 Safe. Reliable. Quick. Simple. These are the main areas we need to assure this platform was a good fit for us. Clearstream check all of those boxes and more. Pros The reliability that A) our messages would be delivered B) when people text us back, we are immediately notified so nothing falls through the cracks. Cons Some months there doesn’t seem to be enough credits for us. We only budgeted the cost per month and cannot afford to add additional credits. Alternatives considered [Pushpay](https://www.capterra.com/p/142580/Pushpay/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Pushpay doesn’t allow recipients to text back. Switched from [Gloo](https://www.capterra.com/p/230260/Gloo/) Reply notifications were unreliable. We would go days without realizing someone had asked a question. Review Source DR Delva R. Database and Communications Admin Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Database & Communications Administrator" September 2, 2025 4.0 Our team has been utilizing Clearstream as our primary communication platform for about one month, and the overall experience has been highly positive. The system has provided us with a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly solution for connecting with our audience and managing communication at scale. Using credits for text messaging, which has proven to be the more effective means of communication, limits the number of communications we wish to send. Pros Accessibility. Agents are just a message away, and responses come quickly, making communication simple, seamless, and efficient. Cons Training, whether virtual or in person, is currently not offered. Implementing this would be highly beneficial.

It’s also so well integrated with Planning Center, which makes connecting and communicating with our church members simple and effective.” Cons There’s not much I would see as a con, but if I had to pick one then it would be lack of some features the app has compared to the browser such as being able to send a note in a text from the app Switched from [Servant Keeper](https://www.capterra.com/p/276838/Servant-Keeper/) They have a very old communications system.

At this time we are happy with the product and plan to continue utilizing everything that Clearstream has to offer. Pros The easiness of use. This project gives us the tools to serve our church community well. The workflows work well. Cons Still learning, but seems to be easy to learn. I don't have anything specific that I don't like. Just a learning curve. Switched from [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Not a specific reason. Just researched that this is a better product.

Having lists for different ministries is amazing! Pros The ease of use of the software - especially the desktop site. Everything I need is right there! Names & numbers - lists & lists! Cons I wish the app was able to do a little bit more. The app is fairly limited as far as things I can do - but it does work exceptionally well!

" April 18, 2026 4.0 Overall this has been very well received by our congregation. They like being able to add the number to their contacts and bypass potential spam and we like that it does not have to come from an individuals phone number. Meeting our needs very well. Pros Face-up the application is very user friendly. I especially like being able to schedule messages so items are not missed. Cons The church that referred us to Clearstream had led us to believe there was a free version. I have not found that to be the case. Also, it is annoying that each time I sign in I get bombarded with the chat agents trying to solicit some sort of interaction. Unnecessary.

Youth Pastor Child Day Care Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Industry Assembly Youth group" March 31, 2026 5.0 over all Clear streams is a good app and I'm very happy I am using it. It's clean and versatile, and has great costumer service. Pros I love how your team is very professional and responds to the in app service incredibly quickly. What I use the app for most is texting my youth student's about pick ups and drop offs and I love how quick and seamless the texts are, it feels like I'm texting on my personal number. Cons their are two features Id like to be changed. One I'm ministering to low income students. These kids often changes phone numbers all the time, or don't have it. I am not able to change a subscribers Number, I need to make a new subscriber. This is probably something a little harder for ya'll to fix however. it seems like a foundation thing. something I would love that is probably easier to add, is a notes section for subscribers. Just an extra place to type by the name and last name area. It's good to know who is the parent of who (last names normally don't line up) and things like address. Review Source Response from Clearstream April 16, 2026 Hi Joseph, thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you've enjoyed using our software and working with our support team. Adding notes to subscriber profiles is a great idea, and is something our team is already discussing! And you're correct, changing a subscriber's phone number is trickier than it sounds. :) The best way to update your subscriber's number would be to delete the old subscriber and create a new one.

Associate Pastor of Worship Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This is the church texting service you are looking for" February 9, 2026 5.0 Best church texting service I've used by far. The design is beautiful and intuitive, whether it's on computer or iOS. The team is responsive and kind, and I love seeing updates and innovation. It lets me know that great things are ahead! Pros The Planning Center integration is outstanding. It's so easy to sync and create lists that expedite communication to different groups. Cons I wish there was some integration with Realm, which is the church database service our church currently uses. For sub ministries, Planning Center integration is sufficient. Review Source Response from Clearstream February 18, 2026 Hi Andy. Thank you so much for your review!

Communications Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Incredible Service" January 5, 2026 5.0 Our overall experience has been incredible. We have yet to be disappointed by any aspect of their service. I would absolutely recommend Clearstream to a church of any size looking to enhance their communication. Pros Their customer service is incredible! Someone is always available to answer our questions. Additionally, in the 3 months since we subscribed to Cleartream, they have rolled out a small handful of enhancements to their already extensive services. They've made our communication systems as a church better and easiter. Absolutely worth the small monthly investment. Cons We are not fans of the fact that using subaccounts requires the use of unique phone numbers. We want to make it as easy as possible for our church to stay connected with the ministries/groups they are involved in, and we want the backend system to be simple for our staff/leaders to use. By only allowing subaccounts to exist with unique phone numbers, we are concerned about overwhelming our congregation with options. But by having all of our staff/leaders use our main account for their communications, we're concerned about muddying what should be a very simple communication system. Review Source Response from Clearstream January 8, 2026 Hey Reagan! Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your support, and are glad you've had a great experience with our team. Totally understandable about using multiple phone numbers. It can be confusing if people get texts from too many different numbers. Something to mention — we offer five-digit short codes which can be shared amongst every subaccount. They're more expensive, but if you're a larger church, they're great.

June 17, 2026 5.0 I used the free trial with a selection of members from our church. Having received positive feedback from them, I moved to a full paid account.. Pros The price point and integration to Planning Center certainly made choosing Clearstream and easy decision. Cons I would like to see a bit more of the Planning Center function (specifically the ability to text people who are assigned positions in PCO Services), but what is currently there is sufficient for my immediate needs, with provide provided workarounds.

April 29, 2026 5.0 It does exactly what I expect it to, and Clearstream also exceeds those expectations! I use it as often as I need to send text blast to different groups and multiple groups. Pros The UI is very intuitive and the automatic help chat bubbles while I try to figure things out on my own is very helpful! Cons Nothing I can tell so far. External integrations are a bit complicated. Although I had a hard time on the external side, Clearstream offered no speed bumps or hindrances.

Customer service has been helpful and the platform is easy to use. Thank you for allowing us a trial to see if this is something we will continue. Pros This service has allowed improved communication from the staff to members. Before Clearstream, we used group texting which was limiting and many members were frustrated by the group replies. This has really improved our ability to get info out in a timely manner. Cons Pricing is a concern for our small church. We are on the smallest plan but still don't use all of the credits.
