## Reviews

### "Powerful Texting for Churches" — 5.0/5

> **Shannon** | *11 August 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I just convinced my church leadership team to switch to Clearstream. 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. &#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;We love how easily clearstream integrates with Planning Center.&#10;&#10;We love being able to send notes, videos, and polls from the desktop site.&#10;&#10;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. &#10;&#10;And when you archive something, you can't access the conversation history of that person from the app. &#10;&#10;The other issue we've run into is some people (especially moms with teenagers serving) have the same number. Clearstream 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.
> 
> Very positive. Our team picked up using it fast. And it seems like we've been more organized and less overwhelmed keeping up with text messages.

### "New User, first impression, I like it." — 4.0/5

> **Ho-Tai** | *6 May 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Texting page" — 3.0/5

> **Barbara** | *10 March 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Moved from another service, and glad I did" — 4.0/5

> **Jeff** | *29 April 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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&#10;Up.
> 
> It’s been great. There’s always a helpful&#10;person waiting to answer my questions, and they were invaluable in helping me through the startup process.

### "Crossroads loves Clearstream\!" — 5.0/5

> **Lyanna** | *6 May 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's ease of use \&amp; 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 Clearstream.
> 
> 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\!
