No incentive was offered This is an excellent tool for churches for many reasons. 1. You can use it to communciate with people wanting to know more about Jesus in a “Text Yes” Campagin. 2. It’s a great want to communicate things to your congregation. If there is emergency or unexpected close (we had snow in North Carolina) 3. Communicate with your volunteers with reminders. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The flexibility for several Ministries to use this software. We have several teams…..Groups, General Congregation, Guest Services & Events. This way, we can all manage our messages more effectively and efficiently. We started using in on Sundays for people to text YES when we ask if they’d like to labor more about Jesus. This give us at least a starting point with new believers and people that are interested. For my volunteer team on Events, I use text in church to tell them there is an important email that they need to look for.WIth all the emails these days, many just miss important emails. Telling folks that an important email just went out about volunteering ad one of our 3 campuses is an effective what to get great sign ups. #### Cons The only drawback, is people thinking it’s someone’s personal phone number and they send some personal information. --- ### Templates save so much time - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nathaniel O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I didn’t know about the integrations until I decided to switch companies. Also it is a little more expensive. Customer service was great though. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The templates are great and help to save a lot of time trying to do it yourself. #### Cons When I read a message in the app it still shows I have a message until I manually mark it as read or archive it. That was annoying to me. #### Reasons for choosing Text In Church The templates that made it easier to use and setup to stay connected! --- ### Great software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Dave L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used unspecified for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the ease of being able to communicate with our entire congregation in only a few minutes. #### Cons The app is still slow and quirky l, even after multiple updates. --- ### Can't Do Without It - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Deidre J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Text in Church and Talk in Church are the backbone of my communications systems #### Cons The pay structure in relation to the features I do and do not use makes it so that I pay a lot for the few services I use, but then have to pay more if I want to use the features I do use to their full capacity. #### Reasons for switching to Text In Church I switched from Tithely because I am not in agreement with the the very vocal beliefs of the [sensitive content hidden] and did not want to be associated with their perspectives. And, because Text in Church offered more of what I needed in one platform, it made the switch easier. I switched from Ministry Tracker because they discontinued the other feature I was using. --- ### GAME CHANGER! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Patti W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered IT's a Game Changer! It's been a wonderful tool that I am expanding every day. It makes my job so much easier! Would HIGHLY recommend it! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Automated workflows, ability to text or send and email, ability to personalize it. I love that it integrates with the main database I use for our church. I love that I can schedule things things to go out and not have to worry about it again. I love that I can communicate with groups of people but there is individual and personal interaction. I love that you can see who opted out of further messages and am able to update my main database. Customer service and articles are amazing! #### Cons Just a few things I would change....the ability snooze a person within a group when they aren't available that month but may be in the future. I would like to be able to print a report of people that opt out of texts so that I can update my main database. I would like to set a sync time. I would like separate inboxes for different phone numbers. Right now, everything goes to the same inbox #### Reasons for choosing Text In Church More keywords available...smart cards, personalization, automated workflows, customer service, but as I discover more ways to use Text in Church, the list grows. #### Reasons for switching to Text In Church All reasons I love it. So much more flexibility. I can use it in a variety of ways for everything from newcomers to volunteers to event registration. --- ### A necessity for church communication! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Elizabeth D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We use TIC to help people sign up for small groups, go through our discipleship program, sign up for baptism, and more. Their customer service is out of this world. We have had such a great experience with TIC! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is simple to use as a tool to communicate with our congregation. Once you load all your people and numbers into TIC, you can put them into groups and categories to message for different reasons and events. It makes it so simple to message back and forth with them too. Not just send out a message but to have a conversation. #### Cons Sometimes it’s difficult when people change their cell numbers and we don’t know so then we continue messaging a new stranger ☺️ I think it can sometimes be confusing when TIC has to use different numbers to ensure the message sends out. It’s confusing to our members seeing different numbers they don’t recognize. Neither of these are TIC issues though. #### Reasons for switching to Text In Church Price. Lack of ability to converse. Super low ‘pick up’ numbers (people would hear the chime and hang up the phone or only listen for the first few seconds) --- ### TIC is a MUST! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Experience has been top notch! Any issue that I had the technical support was right there to help out and fix the issue. They are very personal and there is a name and face behind the voices (text messages). :) #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Using TIC is such a simple process. Very easy learning curve. Saves us time and energy when communicating with our church. Instead of making hundreds of phone calls to get information out we can easily connect with everyone with the click of the mouse. #### Cons The app is a little sketchy at times. It will say I have a ton of unread notifications when they were all read. Other than that it is a great product! #### Reasons for choosing Text In Church TIC is built with churches in mind and they cater to our specific needs. #### Vendor response Hi James! Thanks for the great review. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Sorry for the confusion with the notifications. Since your inbox is shared amongst your admins, the app notifications are for unactioned messages NOT unread messages. You can simply mark them actioned or reply to remove the notification. Again, thanks for the awesome feedback!

So, so. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The product has great training tools. The customer service is excellent. I agree wholeheartedly with the concept, everyone has their cell phone all the time. #### Cons It is very difficult to sit down and watch all of the training videos. By the time I get back to the videos I feel like I have forgotten a lot of what I learned. Also, there is a fatal flaw in the system. People can fill out the digital card and never put their name. I have ended up with just a bunch of numbers. The solution, according to the company, is to create yet another list to follow up on to get the names, which is why I bought the product to begin with. #### Reasons for choosing Text In Church I thought it would be a catch all for us, but for now has created more work. BUT BUT BUT, for someone with an "eye" for this type of software I think it would work well. #### Vendor response Chris, thanks for the review. If someone text in but doesn't provide their name by filling out your digital connection card, I'd recommend sending them a quick text message following up. Start a conversation with them via text and ask for their name. It's just when someone stops by your Welcome Center. Engage in a conversation and eventually gather their contact info. For some people, it does take a bit of work, but connecting with a first-time guest is well worth the effort. If we can help with anything feel free to reach out to our team.

Overall Text in Church has been a great partner and tool for our ministry. It gives us another tool to connect with the church. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros With the ability to text in this day and age is critical and Text in Church makes it simple to get started. They offer a complete set of features, local numbers, keywords, groups and more. #### Cons I wish you could set multiple keywords or phrases to trigger an action instead of just one word. We get a lot of phrases that don't end up triggering a workflow. --- ### Easy Messaging Platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jessica H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We really love using Text in Church for our church communication needs! It's easy to use and the customer service is amazing! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's a great platform to communicate to the masses. I also love the different groups of people that we can create in order to message to specific groups. #### Cons The one aspect of the platform is some difficulty I have had with adding on bundles when needed. But they do offer a wide range of packages so you can discover which works best for you. The customer service is also outstanding and they have been very present to walk me through any difficulties! --- Showing 1 - 10 of 265 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/church/text-in-church-profile/reviews/) ## Text In Church Popular Comparisons [Clearstream vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/church/clearstream-profile/vs/text-in-church/)[Tithely Church Management vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/church/breeze-chms-profile/vs/text-in-church/)[ChurchTrac vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/churchtrac-profile/vs/text-in-church/)[Planning Center vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/accounting/planning-center-profile/vs/text-in-church/)[Chmeetings vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/church/chmeetings-profile/vs/text-in-church/)[Tithe.ly vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/church/text-in-church-profile/vs/tithe-ly/)[Subsplash vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/subsplash-profile/vs/text-in-church/)[Realm vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/57406-text-in-church/vs/151411-Realm/)[Servant Keeper vs Text In Church](https://www.softwareadvice.com/church/servant-keeper-profile/vs/text-in-church/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/church/text-in-church-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
