Our verdict on Textiful
Textiful is a web-based SMS marketing platform for churches and ministries that need to build texting lists, send announcements, and manage conversations. Its tools support keyword campaigns for collecting contact information, broadcast and scheduled messages, two-way inbox conversations, audience segmentation, drip campaigns, MMS, polling, and CSV contact export. Churches can apply these features to prayer requests, scripture and event reminders, volunteer coordination, donation links, and congregation directory growth.
Pricing spans flexible use cases and audience sizes. The On Demand plan lets organizations use one keyword on a 10-digit number and buy message credits as needed; those credits never expire. Essential costs $19 per month and includes two keywords on 5-digit numbers, 350 outgoing text messages, and non-expiring credits. Small Business costs $49 per month with four keywords and 1,000 outgoing messages, while Medium Business costs $184 per month with 10 keywords and 5,000 messages. Large Business is $499 per month with 15 keywords and 15,000 messages; Corporate is $849 per month with 25 keywords and 35,000 messages. A Custom plan offers custom credits and keywords.
The platform fits churches that want general-purpose texting alongside email marketing. Its integrations include Mailchimp, ConvertKit, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Campaign Monitor, Constant Contact, Drip, Emma, GetResponse, Keap, Iterable, MailerLite, Sailthru, Salesforce, and Zapier. That ecosystem can connect texting activity with broader contact and campaign workflows. Churches that require church-management-software integrations should compare alternatives. Textiful is a practical choice for organizations prioritizing affordable SMS campaigns, two-way communication, and flexible messaging volumes over specialized church-management connectivity.
