Our verdict on Clearstream
Clearstream is a church communication platform for mass texting, email, two-way conversations, and automated follow-up workflows. It is designed for churches that need more than one-time announcements, with contact lists, keywords, signup forms, audience targeting, scheduled messages, recurring messages, and delivery, reply, opt-out, and link-click metrics. Web, iOS, Android, and API access support communication across different working environments.
Pricing starts with a 30-Day Trial offering 100 credits, 1,000 emails, and one local phone number. The $35-per-month 1,000-credit plan adds 10,000 emails and Tap tag management. The $59 2,500-credit plan includes three local phone numbers and two subaccounts, while the $119 6,000-credit plan adds unlimited email, five phone numbers, four subaccounts, Voice, and Custom Domain. Higher tiers scale to 12,000 credits for $229, 20,000 for $339, 35,000 for $559, and 70,000 for $1,059 per month, with increasing phone-number and subaccount allowances. Monthly credits expire at the billing date and do not roll over.
The platform’s main strength is breadth within church communication. Teams can send links, pictures, videos, emojis, polls, and personalized fields, manage replies in a two-way inbox, and build workflows with conditions, menus, and timed follow-ups. Integrations include Planning Center, Rock RMS, CCB/Pushpay, Breeze, Slack, Mailchimp, Zapier, Simple, X, Facebook, and API access. Clearstream suits churches consolidating announcements, audience management, follow-up, and reporting in one service. Churches needing only occasional basic texts may find its workflow, contact, and plan structure broader than necessary.
