Their base package is plenty for what we need in a church that has 150 weekly attenders. We have the ability to create custom text groups and automated workflows. On top of that, it's there's a pretty good CRM powering it all. > > **Cons**: The one challenge to Text In Church is the learning curve. Some features have a confusing user experience. Fortunately, their solution feels lightweight and it's easy to play around until you figure it out. > > Text In Church is a great way for us to stay in contact with people who sign up. We still use email but, the click through rate on links is way higher. ----- ### "Templates save so much time" — 4.0/5 > **Nathaniel** | *7 March 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Great software" — 5.0/5 > **Dave** | *8 October 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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" — 5.0/5 > **Deidre** | *14 May 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "GAME CHANGER\!" — 5.0/5 > **Patti** | *28 January 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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 > > 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\! ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/57406/text-in-church?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/57406/text-in-church) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
