Customer Review
"I've used two other texting platforms, and Clearstream is hands down the best in every category. Usability, useful updates, clean and modern look, functionality, 3rd party integrations, pricing, tech support."
Easy to use
Getting started with a new software can be overwhelming. Clearstream is beautifully designed, easy to use, and our support team (not sales team) is extremely knowledgeable for any questions you have.
Integrations
Clearstream integrates with the tools your church already uses: Planning Center, Breeze, Rock RMS, CCB/Pushpay, Slack, and more.
🎉 New in 2024 – the Clearstream Add-On in Planning Center. Text using Clearstream without leaving Planning Center!
Subaccounts
Separate texting accounts underneath your main account, complete with their own inbox, users, integrations, keywords, etc. A subaccount is useful for ministries or departments that do a lot of texting on their own - i.e., youth, kids, and prayer.
Local Phone Numbers
We're experts in the ever-shifting nature of the texting industry. While Gloo promotes using toll free numbers, we let your church choose a local phone number. All numbers are A2P-registered which increases delivery speed and mitigates carrier filtering. We also offer 5-digit short codes.
Customer Support
Our team is extremely knowledgeable and insanely fast. Live chat, email, phone, and Zoom call support. We’re available 7 days a week, year-round, and during normal business hours our response time is usually less than 2 minutes. Chat with our team.
Customer Review
I am so glad I went with this instead of Gloo simply because of the customer service from Clearstream. The best!!
