Truly a God Send!
The best thing about this system is the ability to send and receive texts with a click of a button! The migration of information from other platforms is super easy! You can create list for various ministries and only send to those people on that list! Love it!

It's Clear this is the System for Us!
We love having the ability to text our church body for last-minute updates, especially with the holiday season upon us. Just last week, we had to cancel an event and quickly and efficiently communicated the cancellation to all attendees! We're excited to use the Polls feature within the youth group soon - they're going to love seeing the results in real-time. Also, the updated sync option with Planning Center is a lifesaver!!

The interface is really simple and straightforward. Planning messages, responding to messages, and syncing with my contacts is all pretty flawless. Doing all those things without taking up a lot of my time and effort is valuable in such a small organization.

Running a coffee truck I need to bypass HR and speak straight to potential buyers in office buildings and areas we visit. Social media is great but has very little organic reach, so, I set up customized keywords for places I visit often, letting my customers opt into places they want to be notified about and it's as simple as sending a text straight to their cell phone. Clearstream is fast, robust, and I do everything from my cell phone with their mobile app. Their support is almost instant so if I ever hit any roadblocks it's immediately taken care of. Seriously consider them for mass communication needs, I think you'll be very happy.

The gold-standard for church text messaging services
Clearstream is incredibly intuitive and user-friendly, and between the chat-bot and FAQ articles, I've never run into a problem I couldn't solve. The integration with Planning Center, our church's preferred CMS, is seamless. The subscription levels make it great for small church plants to mega-churches, and it feels like every month there's a new product development or launch that makes the service even better.

Simple with Solid Integration
Clearstream can be as simple or complex as the user desires, making it easy to get started and learn as you build out whatever texting thread or workflow you'd like. The scheduled messaging is a great way to set up consistent communication without feeling tied to the app. The workflows are a great way to streamline signups, Q&A, and other forms of communication I have yet to discover.

I've been looking at and using Clearstream for a little over a month now. We were comparing it with two other pieces of software that were all in a similar price range for our usage. Clearstream was the easiest to use, to set up, and to get help with when I had random questions. While there are a few features I'd love to see added, I'm not at all sorry we chose Clearstream.

I like that Clearstream syncs to our lists so that we can accurately communicate with our congregation and those who are willing to receive text messages. It's also very important to be able to access Clearstream via mobile application, specifically for our Pastor (or any of our users) to be able to quickly respond to replies.

Scheduling our mid-week communication with Clearstream is terrific. We no longer need to worry about mentioning every single reminder from the pulpit on Sundays. Now we can schedule reminders and upcoming events by scheduling them weeks ahead of time through Clearstream.
We also love that our contact list can be managed through our database, and we can add new names to our communication list with one entry.
