And it seems like we've been more organized and less overwhelmed keeping up with text messages. Pros I just convinced my church leadership team to switch to . I had used it at my previous job (after researching all the options). When I moved to a new job, they were using a different platform. The reason, we made the switch was how customizable the notifications are for our team and how each number has a completely different inbox. On our previous texting provider, all the numbers were lumped into one inbox. And you always had to double check which number you were sending from. It also had wayyy too many steps to send a simple text message. It's made each number feel like that person's individual number and helped us keep up with communication. We love how easily clearstream integrates with Planning Center. We love being able to send notes, videos, and polls from the desktop site. Plus their customer support is TOP notch. They get back within 1-2 hours or less. Cons The mobile app doesn't have as much functionality as we would like. You have to use the desktop for anything other than a basic message. We would love to be able to record and send videos from the app - we send out birthday videos to each volunteer. And when you archive something, you can't access the conversation history of that person from the app. The other issue we've run into is some people (especially moms with teenagers serving) have the same number. associates 1 number with 1 name. And it seems random over whose name is chosen if there are multiple people with the same number. We are still working through this functionality. Switched from [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) The functionality was not what we needed with our current team. It was a little clunky and time consuming to manage 6 numbers. We did keep our Talk in Church subscription because their digital receptionist is perfect for our needs. Review Source HZ Ho-Tai Z.

May 6, 2026 4.0 So far we haven't fully engaged with all the function and options. It has been working great as a communication tool for our teams. Pros Easy to use, simplified platform. I find it's easy to navigate, find what I need, and execute task. At this point it's only been to send group text, and we ordered custom Tap Tags. Cons Haven't had an issue yet, still a new user. We been slowly transitioning from older complicated platforms. We are still integrating. Alternatives considered [Planning Center](https://www.capterra.com/p/76708/Planning-Center/)[Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Actually using it in addition to these alternative products. Review Source Response from Clearstream May 26, 2026 Hey Ho-Tai, thank you for your review! I'm glad to hear Clearstream has been a good fit so far. If you have any questions as you get things set up, feel free to reach out to our support team via the purple chat icon in the bottom-right corner of your account. They'd love to help! 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 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!

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 . 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! LY Lyanna Y. Operations Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Crossroads loves Clearstream! " May 6, 2026 5.0 Our experience so far has been great. It seems you are adding new features like voicemail which will be great for us. Your service team has been exceptional with answering questions and follow up to make sure everything is going well. Great onboarding training as well. I highly recommend to any church! Pros It's ease of use & great customer service. It is designed for the church and makes communications easy and effective to our church family. It's also very cost effective. Cons It would be nice if you could embed a link into a word so that links don't take so many allowable characters. Also if notification for incoming messages could be sent to a designated person via text or email so that we know right away if a message comes in if we aren't in . Review Source Response from Clearstream May 26, 2026 Hey Lyanna, thank you for your kind review! I've passed on your feedback about embedding a link into a word. Each user can also enable incoming text notifications in their Clearstream settings: just log in to your account and go to Settings > Notifications. If you have any questions, just reach out to our support team. They'd love to help! :) RR Rhonda R. Communication Mgr.

We are always looking for new ways to share church information and updates with our members while being good stewards of the resources God has provided. Pros Being able to schedule both texts and emails. Also, live chat with customer service has made the onboarding with an exceptional experience. Cons I would like to be able to put an attachment with an email. We send quarterly reminders for business meeting and weekly newsletter by email. Review Source Response from Clearstream May 26, 2026 Hi Rhonda, thanks so much for your review! I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed using Clearstream so far and working with our support team.

It is user-friendly, easy to customize, and provides excellent value for the cost. Adding members and managing communication is straightforward, and the customer support team has been responsive and helpful whenever we have needed assistance. The platform has been reliable, and we have not experienced any significant issues. The primary areas for improvement are integration with our church management software and the ability to add additional subusers at the current pricing level. Despite these limitations, the platform has been a valuable tool for our church, and we would recommend it to organizations seeking an easy-to-use, dependable communication solution. Pros This platform is very user-friendly and provides excellent value for the cost. It is easy to customize to fit our organization’s specific needs, and adding members is simple and straightforward. The customer support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and always helpful when assistance is needed. We have had a very positive experience and have not encountered any issues with the platform. Overall, it has been a reliable, flexible, and worthwhile investment for our organization. Cons One area for improvement would be integration with our church management software, which would help streamline workflows and reduce manual processes. It would also be beneficial if the current pricing included additional subusers. This would allow individual ministries within our church to have their own dedicated numbers and manage communication more effectively while remaining under the same account. Review Source KW Keadan W. Next Gen Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Covers all the bases!" June 3, 2026 5.0 Overall my team and I have had an excellent experience with . It has covered all of our communication needs for teams and families. Pros We love that our whole leadership team can access the account to communicate with our people. I think this provides a very streamlined experience and accountability. Cons That it costs so much to use an emoji. I wish I could use at least one in a message at a discounted rate. Review Source JM Jordan M. Senior Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent texting service." 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 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. Review Source MS Mary S. Executive Assistant to Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Clearstream is vital!" May 11, 2026 5.0 This has been a great tool and resource for our church to keep up with our members as well as visitors and guests. Pros Value for the money that we pay and the ease of use. It is simple and straightforward to use and make need for what we are looking for. Cons I cannot think of anything that would fit as a con. Maybe more frequently videos that walk through suggestions and creative ways to use their services. Review Source NJ Natalie J. Church Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "So glad that we made the switch!" October 26, 2025 5.0 Seemless transition from our previous platform. Great product for the value. Innovative tools and integrations. Pros We love that is created for what churches need! The tools and integrationsare wonderful! Having long messages, short codes, microsites, taps and email functionality all in one place is very convenient. The customer support articles, videos and chat have made our transition very easy! Cons We would like to update all subscriber information, instead of creating a new subscriber. Tracking the microsite clicks without having to create shortcodes for each link would be ideal. Also, being able to add icons for each microsite, without having to add emojis would be helpful. We would like to be able to assign inbix messages to users. Also, having all fonts and font colors available for emails would allow for consistent branding and visual interest. A bit more formatting opions for emails would also be useful. Alternatives considered [Gloo Messaging](https://www.capterra.com/p/230260/Gloo/)[Textiful](https://www.capterra.com/p/210818/Textiful/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Features, pricing, and focus on church ministry Switched from [EZ Texting](https://www.capterra.com/p/145848/Ez-Texting/) This tool was not created for churches. We lost the short code functionality. The price also went up and the number of credits did not increase. Review Source OJ Olinda J. Communications Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Clearstream is a WIN!" January 15, 2026 5.0 When we first introduce the software to the team, they immediately fell in love with how easy it was to navigate and understand the product. We love the fact that it filters easily and connects well with PCO by pushing it back to update or create new profiles. We love it! Pros It provides a simple and effective process to get people connected to our church. The price point is good and gives us what we need for the size that we are and gives us the ability to have it grow with us. I also love that support is always there to help answer any minor to major questions/concerns that we may have. Cons The transfer wasn’t a smooth process as everything had to manually added. And as a portable church, we’d hope they’d have more options for tap tags functionality. Alternatives considered [Gloo Messaging](https://www.capterra.com/p/230260/Gloo/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Pricing was better and had more reviews and a “versus” page on different product comparisons. Switched from [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) We switched over for the lower price and functionality. Everything is easy to use with for all our users. Review Source Response from Clearstream January 21, 2026 Hey Olinda, thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear you've enjoyed using Clearstream and working with our support team, and that you've found the software easy to use. Thanks for your feedback on our tap tags as well — I'll pass your request along to our team! CM Chip M. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nothing But Fantastic" April 27, 2026 5.0 Nothing short of fantastic! They are a blessing to our Church, and I look forward to a long relationship with this company. works great alongside Planning Center or as a standalone product. Pros Everyone at Clearsteam has been great to work with. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been so helpful. I can't say enough about the responsiveness from the team at . I wish all my vendors were that way. Cons No Cons at this point, and I dont see that there could be. Every promise they have made has been kept. Alternatives considered [Planning Center](https://www.capterra.com/p/76708/Planning-Center/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Connectivity to Planning Center and the fact that you are church-plant-friendly Switched from [Gloo Messaging](https://www.capterra.com/p/230260/Gloo/) They were too clunky. For some reason, it just stopped working. You can't get the help you need in a timely way. Review Source Response from Clearstream May 26, 2026 Hi Chip! Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear you've enjoyed using Clearstream and working with our support team. Just reach out if you need anything! :) Kraig B. Minister Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great communication tool" November 7, 2025 5.0 has been incredibly easy to use. When I have had issues, they were able to answer my questions and provide solutions in a very timely manner. Highly recommend this service Pros The app is easy to use. Love the personalization capabilities. People being able to individually reply to messages is a big plus as well Cons Having to choose your own phone number to text from instead of being able to set it up as the existing phone number for the church Switched from [One Call Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/152597/One-Call-Now/) Ease of use. Price kept going up. App availability. Month to month instead of a yearly purchase Review Source Response from Clearstream December 4, 2025 Hey Kraig, thanks so much for your review! We're so glad to hear you've enjoyed using Clearstream so far and found it easy to use! We usually can set up your existing church number to send texts through Clearstream. Not all phone numbers are able to do that, but most landlines are. Just reach out to support via the chat in your account if this is something you're interested in. We can likely set it up for you! DA Dan A. Pastor of Student Ministries Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best in Class for Church Texting" March 6, 2025 5.0 Overall, I consider to be best-in-class. It does everything we'd like it to do, and more. Pros I love so many aspects: Ease of use, aesthetics, the ability to do text and email, attach notes, smooth integration with Planning Center, keywords with scripts, nice phone app, import-export tools, and subgroups Cons Price for credits is high but that's a function of the industry, not Alternatives considered [Planning Center](https://www.capterra.com/p/76708/Planning-Center/)[Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/)[Subsplash](https://www.capterra.com/p/177932/Subsplash/) Reason for choosing Clearstream It was more focused on texting and had more functionality that we needed. Keywords, subgroups, more bells and whistles Switched from [Realm](https://www.capterra.com/p/146265/Realm/) Realm was really not user friendly and often had features that broke or did not work properly. Review Source CB Cameron B. Pastor of Adult Ministries Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Pastor of Adult Ministries" July 14, 2025 4.0 Awesome! It's been able to take our assimilation process and add another level that's been missing regarding automation and using texting as another means for communicating with our people. Pros I like the ability to automate follow-up systems for the church! It takes the hard work of remembering and setting reminders to run certain assimilation processes. I love being able to text members and guests not suing my personal number as well. It's also been nice to build out effective promo workflows for larger events. Cons There is a learning curve for those not working in systems and using that brain muscle all the time. Also, how you can't loop people through certain work-flows but we've found workarounds:) Alternatives considered [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Had what we wanted and works with our current processes. Review Source JK Jenny K. Administrative Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Pleased with Clearstream at One-Month Anniversary" July 28, 2025 5.0 My experience thus far has been overwhelmingly positive. Excellent price point and service for our church size (~ 350). We were pleased to be able to use to stay in touch with parents bringing their children to our VBS program. Pros The service and the trial period was easy to understand. Their staff was also very responsive to questions before we purchased the product. We were especially thankful for two things: 1) We did not have to inquire to our congregation about their phone carriers in order to begin using Clearstream--and could get started right away. 2) We could import lists of names and numbers. Additionally, the website so far has been very intuitive to use, and staff support has been excellent--very responsive. Cons So far I don't have a "like least" regarding the product. Alternatives considered [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Reason for choosing Clearstream The other products considered were more expensive, some were not specific to churches, and others had too many or too few options. Switched from [Instant Church Directory](https://www.capterra.com/p/235799/Instant-Church-Directory/) Instant Church dropped its texting platform due to the carrier requirements for reducing spam.

July 28, 2025 5.0 It has been very good and easy. Good response to my questions, fast and helpful. To sign up and pay for the service was easy and valuable considering other places were more expensive. Pros Simple to use and the ability to subdivide people out into as many groups as I need is very useful and helpful Cons There are still a few things that could be developed on the app, but it is not bad. Would be nice to track a poll in the app Alternatives considered [Tithely Church App](https://www.capterra.com/p/10027328/Tithely-Church-App/) Reason for choosing Clearstream Cheaper, and much much easier to use and sign up with Switched from [Remind](https://www.capterra.com/p/234436/Remind/) It stopped the ability to send text and just started sending email Review Source JF Jennifer F. Co-Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Clearstream has helped our church tremendously!" September 30, 2025 5.0 We are a new church plant, and didn't know how to start with text messaging our small but growing congregation. has made it easy for us to "get with the times" :) Pros So far, I find it very easy to use. I appreciate the format. It has really helped out church with communication, and since I am not of the youngest generation, a very easy user-friendly interface helps me a lot. Cons I was confused about the credits remaining and credits per text. It caused us an issue about two weeks ago. staff was awesome and helped us. But I would say, this should be clearer for all customers :) Switched from [Gloo Messaging](https://www.capterra.com/p/230260/Gloo/) It was extremely clunky, unreliable, and pretty much didn't work. Review Source JJ Joseph J. 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. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We'd love to help! VR Verified Reviewer Youth Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Clearstream review" December 17, 2025 5.0 I love it. It’s different from Text In Church, and in my experience, it works much better. Instead of having messages split into two or three parts because of character limits, you can simply purchase additional credits and send the entire message at once. This makes communication much clearer, more seamless, and far less confusing for everyone receiving the message. Pros I really like how this allows me to communicate with my entire youth group through one message. Instead of sending multiple texts or trying to track people down individually, I can share important information all at once and know that everyone is receiving the same message. This makes communication much more efficient and helps keep students, parents, and leaders on the same page. It saves time, reduces confusion, and makes it easier to keep our whole group connected and informed. Cons I wish there were an AI option that could help tailor a message to a specific character limit. Being able to adjust wording while staying within required character counts would make it much easier to communicate clearly and efficiently without having to manually trim or rewrite messages. Review Source Response from Clearstream January 27, 2026 Hey there, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying using Clearstream, and that it's helping you connect with your youth group! I'll pass along your feedback about trimming down messages. RD Reagan D. 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 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.

Pros It's easy to use & organize the contacts we're following up with! I love that I can schedule texts! I also love the Dashboard area where I can see the feedback & statistics.

Pros Very easy to use! Key words are so helpful to add people to a subscriber list. The subscriber lists make weekly text communication with volunteers a breeze. I also love the NOTE feature on texts so I can give all the details for serving. Cons The only concern we've had is our messages going to people's spam. We know that this was an issue on our end and that in initial communication we should have alerted folks to the number in which it would be coming from. This has been resolved. Alternatives considered [Text In Church](https://www.capterra.com/p/142758/Text-In-Church/) Reason for choosing Clearstream is significantly less expensive.

They were recommended to me by another church plant and I can clearly see why! We will continue using this service for all our communication needs. Pros Their customer support is so very helpful! And being able to email and text from the same place is amazingly helpful! My people now get a weekly email and a text with a link to our email, they have said how helpful this has been! Cons It was difficult at first because I didn't realize it doesn't automatically sync up with Planning Center, but since I received help from the customer support, It links well with Planning Center and even allows people to text back.
