About Clearstream

Clearstream is an SMS marketing software, which helps churches of all sizes communicate with members in real-time and automate follow-ups with first-time guests. Managers can utilize custom fields to share personalized messages, notify relevant personnel about last-minute changes in schedules and send emergency alerts.

It allows administrators to track incoming/outgoing messages, texts received per second, opt-ins or opt-outs and more to gain insight into messaging analytics. Teams can create sub-accounts under the master account to maintain hierarchies and sync information across multiple departments. Additionally, Clearstream enables professionals to organize contacts into specific groups, generate reports to analyze account activities and share service reminders with concerned authorities.

Clearstream lets businesses integrate the system with several third-party applications such as Planning Center, Slack, Bitly, Zapier, Mailchimp and Rock RMS. Pricing is based on monthly subscriptions and support is offered via FAQs, guides and other online measures.

Clearstream is the real deal

It's been great to work with Clearstream! Customer support team is easy to communicate with. Product works exactly as I expected it to. Would 100% recommend.

Functionality

Pros:

Clearstream is simple and easy to use. Their customer support is unbeatable. Integrates seamlessly with our church management system. It's been a great communication tool for keeping our church informed and up to date.

Cons:

To be honest, I have yet to find anything that I don't like about Clearstream. If anything, I wish short codes were still a thing, but from what I understand, that's a legal issue, not an issue with Clearstream.

Reasons for choosing Clearstream

Had some familiarity with Clearstream from a previous church. They also offered an introductory incentive to us as a church plant, so that really pushed us toward Clearstream.

Clearstream is excellent!

Working with Clearstream has been a consistently great experience. From early conversations with [sensitive content hidden] to make a plan for transitioning to their platform, to working with the Clearstream team to set up texting services, to the follow-up to my many questions and the top-tier communications and support, I would recommend them to anyone looking for a text provider. I coordinate with a lot of vendors and services, and by my standards, Clearstream is one of the best companies I have worked with.

Functionality

Pros:

Clearstream is excellent. They have top customer support, a clear and effective website, well-designed user interfaces, transparency in their pricing structures, and simplicity to their services. Additionally, their best feature outside of texting services is their web chat communications that links with email and is easy to use. Communication with customers is clearly a priority for them.

Cons:

If I had to pick something, I would like to have a few more options to customize texting reports through their platform, but what they have built out is sufficient.

Reasons for choosing Clearstream

Initially, the website had a clean user interface, the services were simple to understand, and the pricing structure was very transparent. I was able to find the information I was looking for very quickly. After reaching out, it was very quickly apparent that the company had great communications and customer support.

Reasons for switching to Clearstream

The services promised weren't matching the services we were receiving, and we were looking for a simpler, more reliable, and more affordable option.

Vendor Response

Hey Ryan, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear you've enjoyed using Clearstream and working with our customer support team. :) We'd love to hear your ideas about customizing texting reports. Just reach out to our team via chat if you'd like to share your thoughts!

Functionality

Pros:

We use this software because it integrates with our church management software, Planning Center Online. It is proficiently easy to use with our database, especially with communication to recurring lists of people.

Cons:

Cost is high, but not necessarily higher than similar companies. Some aspects of the integration could be simplified from a user experience.

Clearstream is a WIN!

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!

Customer support

Functionality

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.

Reasons for choosing Clearstream

Pricing was better and had more reviews and a “versus” page on different product comparisons.

Reasons for switching to Clearstream

We switched over for the lower price and functionality. Everything is easy to use with for all our users.

Vendor Response

Hey Olinda, thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear you've enjoyed using Clearstream and working with our support team, and that you've found the software easy to use. Thanks for your feedback on our tap tags as well — I'll pass your request along to our team!

The Planning Center integration is outstanding. It's so easy to sync and create lists that expedite communication to different groups.

I wish there was some integration with Realm, which is the church database service our church currently uses. For sub ministries, Planning Center integration is sufficient.

Pros:

Very easy to use! Key words are so helpful to add people to a subscriber list. The subscriber lists make weekly text communication with volunteers a breeze. I also love the NOTE feature on texts so I can give all the details for serving.

Cons:

The only concern we've had is our messages going to people's spam. We know that this was an issue on our end and that in initial communication we should have alerted folks to the number in which it would be coming from. This has been resolved.

Reasons for choosing Clearstream

Clearstream is significantly less expensive.
