Effective and intuitive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2023 **What do you like best about Called?** The app is easy to use and it is very effective with connecting communities. The ability to have chats, events and subgroups all in one place makes communication easy across different segments of our ministry Additionally the app creators are very responsive to feedback. **What do you dislike about Called?** Initially the sign up was clunky, but it has gotten much better. **What problems is Called solving and how is that benefiting you?** The chief thing Called brings to the table over other platforms is safety. As an admin I can delete any post that is offensive or inappropriate. Thankfully this doesn't happen often, but when it does, this feature helps me avoid bigger issues. Additionally, having multiple groups in my ministry all have their own chats, while being also apart if the general chat is great. - [View Called pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/called/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+08%3A29%3A17+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=298aae40-45cf-4c85-932f-f748505733ce&secure%5Btoken%5D=f43356a8528d557eb229c80cbfd13233ecc0471da18ebfc1bb10e2c4010f430b&format=llm_user) ## Called Features **Platform Basics** - Membership Tracking - Congregation Communication - Event Planning **Platform Additional Functionality** - People Management Specific Tools - Event Management Specific Tools **Agentic AI - Church Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance ## Top Called Alternatives - [DialMyCalls](https://www.g2.com/products/dialmycalls/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (960 reviews) - [Text-Em-All](https://www.g2.com/products/text-em-all/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (815 reviews) - [TouchPoint Church Management Software](https://www.g2.com/products/touchpoint-church-management-software/reviews) - 4.0/5.0 (195 reviews)
