JM Joel M. Director of Christian Education Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/20/2021 "Awesome service, useful tool, all for a price that's hard to beat!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Clearstream? The user interface on web and on mobile app is so easy to use. I love that I can easily schedule messages ahead of time, set up automatic workflows, and if I need to, text a last minute reminder or change of plans from my phone or ipad to any of my lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clearstream? Nothing - I've only ever had good experiences with Clearstream, with their customer service, and with their messaging apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clearstream solving and how is that benefiting you? I am saving money and getting more message credits with Clearsteam than with my previous group messaging app. When COVID-19 hit, Clearstream support our church and provided extra message credits at no cost because they recognized the need for churches to communicate quickly and effectively as plans and situations changed daily. I love that Clearstream understands my heart and my needs as a youth director - they serve churches and build tools that help me do the things I've been looking for in a messaging app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless connection with Planning Centre." 5/5 What do you like best about Clearstream? I love the easy connection with Planning Centre to sync contacts. We have been using it almost weekly to stay in touch with our church family and it also makes it easy to reply to messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clearstream? The layout could probably be more open and clear. There seems to be a lot of duplication which I can understand on a website basis. However, the primary functions could be more highlighted on the layout of the website. For example, "create a message" could be the main button (larger) that pops out right when you open clearstream. I am capable of figuring all this out on your website, but when I think of some of the less tech-savvy church leaders, this would be helpful. Also the contacts sync button could be more easily accessible. Maybe even every time you send a message it re-syncs the contacts with planning center to make sure everyone is there. sometimes I add peoples to Planning center the same day I send out a text. Again, I know to sync the contacts, but some less tech-savvy people might not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clearstream solving and how is that benefiting you? efficiently staying in touch with a very accessible form of communication rather than social media or email which requires wifi.

Communications Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/20/2021 "Excellent Service!" 5/5 What do you like best about Clearstream? Clearstream makes it easy for us to deploy texting campaigns at scale across our church so as to quickly contact members. When used to help keep our campuses informed on upcoming news and events we reliably see a jump in event attendance. We find them to be well priced and to have excellent, attentive, customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clearstream? Many common church keywords are already taken for shared shortcodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Clearstream solving and how is that benefiting you? Clearstream enables us to quickly deploy mass messaging across our various church campuses. This has been a lifesaver when sudden changes (such as snow storm) have occurred. It has also been a useful tool for following up with and connecting with new visitors.

We have been able to take our churchwide communication not only to our regular attenders but also our first-time guest to another level. Clearstream makes the process super easy, and the integration with planning center has been a game-changer for us. I would 1000 times recommend clear stream to any and all churches looking to up their communication with their local body as well as creating a process of ongoing communication for those who visit your church.

It is extremely easy to schedule texts ahead of time and have them go out right when I need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Clearstream?
