Clearstream vs EZ Texting
Sure, we're both texting software, but EZ Texting operates at a broad scale while Clearstream's roadmap is built solely on feedback from churches. We're laser-focused on developing better communication tools for ministry leaders.

Customer Review
"Clearstream is a force multiplier with our database functions. Managing the hundreds of volunteers and numerous guests we have is made simple through Clearstream."
- Kyle K.
Platform
We have a killer product team that works hard to create user-friendly software that's easy on the eyes and works as it should. It's not clunky, there's no cluttered navigation or bloated features, and we're always pushing updates.

Support
We consider support a part of the product we provide. Every Clearstream plan comes with live chat, video tutorials, articles, Zoom calls, and an occasional gift box in the mail. We're available every day, year-round, and our average response time is 3 minutes.

Native iOS/Android Apps
Manage conversations on the go. Send and schedule outgoing texts, respond to incoming replies, check on your keyword workflows, switch between subaccounts, enable push notifications and view metrics.

Metrics and Reporting
You can see transparent metrics in real-time, like how fast your message is sending, opt-ins, opt-outs, incoming replies, and even failed messages.
If you want a snapshot of how your account is doing, you can download a Weekly Report that shows activity and growth from the previous week. To see in-depth information about keyword usage, message history, or which auto-replies are sent within a workflow, download Activity Tables.

Integrations
Because we're geared towards churches, we also integrate with church management software. If you have a Planning Center, Rock RMS, or CCB/Pushpay account, you can sync over existing lists and push new information to create new person profiles, and optionally add someone to a Workflow, Group, or Process Queue.
And with our add-on in Planning Center, you can text using Clearstream without leaving Planning Center!
