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. 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. ----- ### "Immediate Context, Better Engagement" — 5.0/5 > **JJ** | *29 December 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: A great feature is the subject line. From the very first word, our church family can immediately see the context and know who the text is for. Keeping texts consistent through various leaders' communication. > > **Cons**: With any new software, there is a learning curve, and finding the right level of customization for your organization takes time. > > Clearstream has been a reliable and easy-to-use texting platform for our organization. The interface is simple, messages go out quickly, and it’s helped us communicate more clearly and efficiently with our community. The value per text is very competitive. Overall, it has become a solid tool for mass texting and engagement. ----- ### "A must have for church communication." — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *23 March 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > I am very happy with Clearstream. 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. ----- ### "Simple and Reliable Texting Tool for Churches" — 3.0/5 > **Tim** | *23 October 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer service is great — they’re always quick to help and genuinely care about churches. The learning resources are nice to have, and the system itself is simple to use. Clearstream is also very supportive of church plants, which is a big plus. > > **Cons**: It doesn’t function like a normal two-way SMS conversation platform. It’s more geared toward sending announcements than managing text threads. The user interface looks dated, and the pricing can feel high for smaller churches. > > My overall experience with Clearstream has been great. It’s reliable, consistent, and gets the job done every time. ----- ### "Clearstream is a WIN\!" — 5.0/5 > **Olinda** | *15 January 2026* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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\! ----- Page: 1 / 28\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/158103/clearstream?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/158103/clearstream) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
